    I had the silver XO1 chain. I did considerably over 10000km on it before it got to 0.5 wear. I then replaced the chain. Not sure on exact mileage, but my XO1 cassette is nearing 15000km. I trained for two epics (was hoping to get an entry in 2017 but this did not happen) , completed epic this year and did jhb2c the month after epic. All this on the original chain and cassette Keep your drive train nice and clean, and properly lubed, and these things can last.

    It even comes up on Google Maps as Breedtsnek Parking I also park at the petrol station just before you pass the DUY on the right hand side - never had any issues there

    Anybody doing this one?

    I understand there has been a change in process, and devices will end up going to Garmin Rosebank. Navworld is aware that this will cause delays, and are looking into having loan/rental units available, so that everyone can get their vitality points...and also record their rides for strava. Rather chat to Navworld first

    Distance spot on,climbing I got 1500m
  6. sirmoun10goat
    I remember to never believe the distance and elevation on the Web...always shorter with less climbing than what I get on my garmin

    Boys at the hub have time for jokes...Load this on the stroke of midnight on 1 April. Now let's see if the president comes out and says the cabinet changes are also a joke

    Only difference is the gravel grinder is 2xwhatever, and doesnt have a wide range cassette...which is exactly where the MTB was a few years back Guess its true, history repeats itself

    A spacer may work, but not ideal - this will give you a horrible chain line

    I think the conditions were great (apart from the really muddy section, but that was about 2km only) and gave some good racing. Sun came out, very little wind, and lots of fun. Got back to my car and some coward crashed their bike into my car (Ford Ranger, so not like its hard to miss) and disappeared without leaving contact details. Long dent and some ugly scratches If anyone saw this happening, please drop me a PM

    you lucky - they didn't do that for the 2015 series
  14. sirmoun10goat
    Last year there were changes at the beginning of the race, on the way to concrete collision - I think that was a big improvement

    Is it just me, or have the forums around the Trailseekers died down? This is the first Trailseeker I am missing in 3 years, and when I see how quite the forum is, I don't have any FOMO

    I never believe the advertised distance - always longer than they advertise

    there was talk of Momentum pulling out after the 2015 event - that was the general feeling after the survey from Momentum was sent out.

    70km? I will believe that only when I cross the finish line and see 70km on my garmin. always longer than publicised.

    I did it on a 34t 11-42 and k@kked. I cycled every hill, but I ran out of matches. will be going with a 32t this year

    I have unfinishsed business...I can never decide what part of this race is the worst, the big climbs or the rolling climbs at the end, or soft sand in between, or the slippery rocky sections I will be taking cramp block before and during this years event

    soooo, i have another question for Christian - what deal can you make for us on the hub on a kickr/kickr snap? this will answer my questions, and add flexibility. also, what software will i require? does wahoo have something like the cycleops virtual training, or can you use the cycleops virtual training with a wahoo?

    Thanks. I understand the differences in connectivity. if i get the ant device, i will need the ant + iPhone key to use my ipad to control the trainer. will my cadence and hr be picked up with the ant+ iPhone key, or will i need to have my garmin on to get this information if i go with the Bluetooth, then i don't need the ant adaptor, as my ipad will connect via Bluetooth. but then for cadence and hr, i will need Bluetooth devices to get this information to my ipad.
  23. sirmoun10goat
    i'm looking at getting a cycleops. are people using their garmins purely for cadence/hrr with this set up, or will the results of a ride done on the cycleops reflect on the garmin. i like to keep the result of all my training in one place, so would like to have this reflected on my garmin if it is purely for cadence/hrr, is getting the bluetooth cycleops with a bluetooth hrm and cadence sensor not a better option, as you wont need the ant connection?

    I had a rs reba on my bike, upgraded to a sid World Cup xx-you don't need to be a pro to tell the difference. Felt like I was riding a different bike

    is this the end of the brain in the fork?
