    Not a fact dude, I took off in C and there was a marshal pleading that only C riders to come forward. He even checked my board for the C sticker. I think the confusion came in that C and D started in the same shuts.

    C and D were never meant to start together. some of the D riders did manage to dodge the marshal and slip into the C batch. My finish time according to SASeeding was 5 min longer than my recorded time. I time all my rides with my cell phone as well and not just with my computer.

    agree! it depends on the rider and application.

    i also tried those ikons twice already and they both de-laminated. maybe it was just a bad batch. in fact i still have those tyres at home with about 95% tread left. i rendered those tyres useless for tubeless systems. it will however still work with a tube.

    What tyres are u running Naas?

    The organization for this event was top class!!! To the organisers, give yourselves a big pat on the backs. It seems u shut us skeptics mouths. You set the bar high, so pls maintain it. I loved everything about it. Well marked, great refreshment stations, lots and lots and lots of route marshalls and fantastic route. Can't wait for #2.

    I only have bad things to say about conti's protection. After 2 years of that crap I went back to old faithfuls, racing Ralph rear and rocket Ron front. Tleasy snakeskin.

  12. Sparki 1

  13. Sparki 1

    i dont profess to be an expert, but y would you want the Sag in traction mode especially in the front? will this not compromise your braking ability? dont you normally want 'traction mode' for rear? i could be talking a ball of snot here. iwud say Sag normal mode rear and x-king front and stick to normal rotation. but to be honest, i suppose this will work best for xc type riding. does it make any sense?

    Thanks R. did you receive an sms/email inviting you for the 75?
  16. Sparki 1
    so can one just enter? I read you get somehow invited to ride the 75km and you cannot just enter. the system wont allow.
  17. Sparki 1
    oh sorry, my bad. i see it's only for top riders.
  18. Sparki 1
    how does one get invited for the 75km?
  19. Sparki 1
    Have to agree, some direction markings were dodgy, i too landed up riding in wrong directions at some places, however luckily not too far..... Glad to see someone else also got more than 66km. my clock read 66.7km. The ride was awesome. great training for sand riding. lots and lots of muscle hurting sandy moments. This event will be permanently in my diary. well done all.

    oh my word!!!!! I sincerely hope this is not true!
