Stiggy

Eat while you are cycling, you will need the nutrition and energy the food will give you for the rest of the cycle and for the run. Eating while runnin is hard at the best of times. Hydrating should also be a necessity

On the cycle leg, avoid pushing too big gear. This will tire your legs for the run later on. Rather choose a light gear with a high cadence

Entry done and dusted! Cant wait for the sub 3hr assault! Try and find a morning group to join, you'll be sucking some big air for the 1st month but will get you nice and strong!

What is a gauge to compare the times for this race against other races? Any ideas....

They did. I got mine about an hour ago. Starting in A batch. Oh the pain........

Always drop the kids off before putting on your wetsuit. However weeing in your wetsuit in considered acceptable as a method of staying warm

Break the race down into sizeable portions. Focus on the swim, then the cycle and finally the run. Be proud of yourself for completing each discipline. The morale boost will left your spirits

How did you enter? I only see entries opening on 1 Sept

Another happy customer here who was helped by Tim at Solomons!

Long story - chain broken so gonna do the cassette and chain change combo, and due to shortage of parts can only find a 12/25 cassette. I hardly sit in the big ring in the back so dont think it will affect me too much there. Bit concerned about losing top end speed tho

I'm changing from a 11/28 to a 12/25. Will it affect my riding?

I currently use a compact crank and an 11/28 cassette? Would it matter if I change that to a 12/25 cassette? or do I need to change the chainset too? What would be the ideal cassette to change to? All these numbers and ratios are confusing me - Help needed

If you wanna do some hill training, ride along Kloof rd in Bedfordview and then drop down to van Buuren, turn around and ride up the same road. I think there are 5 roads. Also from Kloof rd turn left onto van Buuren and then ride along and turn left into the boomed areas. Not too long climbs but decent gradient!!

You just don't want to do it cos you cant stand.......

Just googled it, its about 3.30hrs from Jhb. about 1hr north of bloemfontein

How does this compare to Magalies Monster (big hills or more free flowing?) What is best thing to wear?

Always wear your trisuit when training, even if it is in a spinning class! Also always assume the tri position for the whole spinning class!

Best move ever! Happy riding

Why consider a road bike if you not going to do any road races. Sounds like you already made up your mind.....

Looks awesome. Price?

Do they fix spokes?

I work in Jhb CBD and need to pop into the nearest LBS to fix a spoke during lunch hour. Where is the nearest LBS? Any suggestions welcome! Please help

Thanks for the feedback. Have sent requests for quotes so waiting replies.

Thanks dude. Will have a look and contact Jannie!

My mates and I wanna design and make our own cycling kit. Does anyone have info. on a local manufacturer/designer that has some good quality gear but is not too pricey. Any help would be great!!
