Thanks Droo, seems I got help but I will keep you in mind for future stuff.
Klevva hubbers....Are these still in existence? can't seem to find anywhere. Can order from UK but even then they need to order....
So heading to Cullinan/Tonteldoos.... apparently GPS compulsory. Any klevva okes out there that know what if there is iPhone app that I can load GPX route onto and follow?
Technically challenged on this stuff and mtb to be honest. Need paint by numbers.
Floor is yours.
2 x Chains rotated on one cassette and chain ring lasted about 8000km. The chain did start to jump off the chain ring on rocky descents though. Talking GX Eagle.
So I was privileged to meet Deon, a local farmer and trail builder for the Tulbagh area and obviously the 2020 Epic route around Saronsberg. He is a true gentleman and showed me around the “Bone Trail”, introduced me to putting Buchu (plant) in my water bottle and showed what a beautiful piece of mountain biking Tulbagh possesses. I would highly recommend making a trip there if you are looking for some challenging training. Tulbagh is a really lekka little town with plenty accommodation.
Hello okies, So I'm stuck in Langebaaaaaan from 24th Dec to 5th Jan. Wanting to do shoot across and do some riding in Tulbagh and Ceres hopefully pre ride some of the 2020 Epic trails. Would be cool if someone could show me around.
Thanks G_M, interesting how the curve impacts the various holders ....
Double enterdre... 
First thread I've read on the hub in a long time. All I can say as I shake my head is, may a non offensive Deity help us. 
Anyone in VA that can explain why the batch's time are on average slower than VB and VC?
VC group started like it was a mountain bike race heading for single track. I got spat out the back before Cedar. I guess the VA group was a bit more civilised.

And well done Jason
Wtf is up with the Ultra results? Beeeg FU.
As for the route, well done Eric, a proper test, loved and hated every 1km.
Got both. Fox is more plush but needs more attention. rockshok is fit and forget but for me is a harder ride no matter how I set it.
As long as you got gripshift...
Bicarb of soda made me **** my shammy....it should also be banned.
Confucious say "be careful what you wish for,a blinded motorist drive into cyclist"
Just make sure when you bleed them the "contact in" or "pad contact" adjustment is screwed all the way out. Actually make sure it is all the way out now anyway. Then pump the lever a dozen or so times. You may find the piston in the master cylinder hasn't had a chance to come back enough to let the fluid from the reservoir into the system. You may suddenly find the lever gets more pressure. Then screw the "contact in" adjustment in until you have optimum feel and pressure on the lever.

You blow a seal or is it just frost on you mustache?
I'm new to mountain biking and it's crazy jargon. Did he really perform fellatio on an aquatic mammal or did something much worse happen during his race?
Boetie....by the set up of the bike I'd say that is one big dude....just give him what he wants and ride away.
Cape Epic fueling

Overnight oats in the morning with a banana. 45min into each day another banana. then pretty much smashing a couple of gels and banana at each water point (up to 6 gels a stage). Take the ones at the water tables. Might not work for you but got me through 4 epics and never bonked. And never had tummy issues. IMHO feeding your fat face on the bike is more important than any other aspect of Epic. Most of the time when you think you're tired you are just out of fuel. I could be wrong though....
