So let's give a negative rating to a seller trying to sell a hunk of junk described as 'in mint condition' Ratings should only be used on completed deals, or deals where a party has failed to complete obligations and the other party has completed their obligations

Guide RSC's are in your budget, but you can push your budget to XT if necessary??? I think you may be looking at the price a single Guide brake set (ie 1 x lever and caliper) vs a complete brake set (ie 2 x levers and calipers) for the XT. RSC is top of the range and you will pay for that

I have an edge820 and a fenix5 - both are recognized by Discovery. Your device writes into the file the device name. Discovery only recognizes certain devices. Zwift is not a recognized device (it's not a device, just software). So regardless of whether a Zwift activity hits Garmin Connect, it's not recognized. You can manipulate the file to include a recognized device, but then I'd start weighing up whether the points are worth it. As to why an edge25 is not recognized, that seems unusual. Maybe your particular activity did not load properly - this happens on occasions. All I do is export to tcx, delete the activity an upload again.

So maybe what is worth considering is riding style. I think some big differences include: - grinding vs spinning up i.e how effectively does one use the gears - keeping momentum through corners and not needing to hammer it on exits to get speed up - keeping momentum from downhills as you transition into an uphill, and soft pedaling at the base of the uphill before getting power down as the inclination increases - are you a racer vs a weekend warrior vs a fun rider, etc This is not a comment on your riding style DnD, but rather another consideration that I never see being discussed when it comes to drive train durability

I run a 34t chain ring. I train mostly in jhb, but included in my mileage mentioned is hell n back, attakwas 2018 (the rainy version), epic 2018 and joberg2c 2018 (which was rather wet). So overall a mixture of conditions

No, I am talking xo1 12 speed chain

Over 10 000km on my xo1 chain and it was not at 50% wear. Are your sure xx1 lasts much longer

This 'reverse' route is actually the original direction. I think it was when car track o some other car tracking company started sponsoring them did they switch the route around. I do prefer the route in the current direction - get the somewhat boring single track sections that are just going up and down the field out the way first, the then do the fun bits in the forest sections 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?

Distance spot on,climbing I got 1500m

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

.

O yes! I'm in

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

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
