  1. Contact us at www.kitted.co.za or info@kitted.co.za Website is not up yet but will be going live soon
  2. Hi, Does anyone have a 2014 events calendar for MTB races? Is there a download somewhere?
  3. Does anyone know if this will be happening this year? I have tried the website but it seems to be down and I cannot see it on any calendars. This is one awesome race so I hope it has not disappeared.
  4. I would say it would be better to ride with someone as it is pretty dangerous. If you had to have a serious fall there, it may take days before anyone found you. As for safety in terms of theft, etc. We have never seen anyone up there but is a dodgy cave half way down where I presume vagrants may sleep
  5. 3:34 On knobblies, Crossmarks front and rear
  6. The guy in The Hub kit made me feel like I was on a sunday cruise. He passed me at about 30km in the half marathon but I am sure he was doing the 70km
  7. Just do it on knobblies! A few of us did it on our MTB's last year and one guy in our group had slicks. The speed difference was so minor, that I don't feel it is worth the effort of changing tyres. What tyres are you running? We were all running hard Crossmarks and we did a 3:30
  8. I have done the ghetto tubeless set up on 2 of my bikes and have never had to replace rim tape. I just top up with some Stans every 4 months or so and have had no issues whatsoever. The Stans or Joes conversion kit is merely fiberglass tape (which can be bought in rolls at sportsmans) and a rubber strip with a valve on it. Imho its a waste to buy the conversion kit if you can do it your self with tape and a tube. Great marketing buy Stans and Joes though
  9. Best upgrade you can do! I recently changed from Sram triggers to gripshifts and I feel I have so much more control when it comes to gearing down in tight situations. I was initially worried about mis-shifting but after doing Hakahana yesterday without a single mis-shift, all I have is good things to say about them. I have also cut some Esi grips like Bolt67 and they work like a charm.
  10. The Alexandria dirt road loop is a good ride due to the undulating hills and the wind. There is a footpath in Cannon rocks that is meant for hiking, but if you are keen for a real challenge, ride it. There are a few wooden steps that you have to walk up but it is great fun going down them. Its roughly 7km of high intensity riding.
  11. Ridiculous. If they were aiming to pi$$ off motorists, then they have succeeded. Bunch of knobs
  12. I would love to see what you have done there. Did you make it yourself?
  13. Get it here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-2014-SRAM-X01-X0-1x11-speed-MTB-Type-2-Groupset-Group-Trigger-Twister-Red-/360702587470?pt=Cycling_Parts_Accessories&hash=item53fb8cb24e
  14. Pm Dorpie, he gets custom cycling kit at a really good price. Best kit i have ever had made
  15. ASG can you tell us the reasoning behind the changes?
  16. Donations Closed? I would like to contribute
  17. Ocean eyewear is great option. Try get some of the photochromatic ones, they work like a bomb
  18. What about SuperStar components? I haven't seen too many around but hear they are very good
