  1. Bought a couple of things online from www.evobikes.co.za Added 48hr straight to home courier delivery. Thank you for fast and on time delivery and packaged with care and concern. Thumbs up!!
  2. Got a set of Mavic SLR and a set of Easton Carbons... never had a problem with either.
  3. Very tough race...super fast out the blocks. Huge BRRAAAAPP session. Eish I think regardless if you started in A Batch or J Batch for the 74,8km is was tough. Insane pace for the first 30km made all the top pros blow up this last couple of sketch loose rock climbs. But saying that...we need more of these races n Gauteng!!! Bring it on! lol...got my worst position in 3 years. Still top 20 and highest heart rate ever. Says something for the level of the guys in the top 10 and the standard of the guys racing at higher intensities out there.
  4. He was sponsored by USN ...so think we can all agree, sterile stumpie + loads of whey and recovery mix es from USN .
  5. Surly best to start with a 1-2week base/build zone of rides before going straight into it?
  6. Agree, there needs to be a consistent way for everyone...Regardless if you go up Batches or Down. We do sas races and pay a lot to make it to all 'their' races in order to have fair batch allocations
  7. I missed Hazeldean and the last 2 Nissan's and the last 3 Mtn's Still in A, so they are definitely not using the last 8months of riding. Last big race was Mtn Hilton and Nissan Cullinan last year and got top 10, So maybe they using last years races.?.
  8. Yip 1pm Race snakes and 2pm trail hoppers
  9. Done 3 of them...stunning race. Take a dual sus for the grass and rock sections
  10. Any thing with 29er wheels! And yes lol must be light...hahaha. I have done it many times with different bikes and it all hurts the same. Enjoy, will see u there
  11. My 2c for a mtb? Surely a smaller frame (one size) better for you to be more "on top" of the bike? And stem size 90-110mm? Rather then a lager frame and a 50mm stem with a very short seat post?
  12. Lol maybe we should ask you hairy why you spend so much time on the hub?? Hahaha just teasing...
  13. Zac.A thanks, yip every time we on holiday there, that's my usual 60km, keen on longer different routes. But yes love that route.
  14. Thanks DEE, will do that.
  15. Hi Guys, Finally making the big move to Cape Town from Jozi end of July. Staying in Green Point. Looking for small group rides everyday/any day during week and longer on weekends. I ride 6 days generally 2-3hrs. Keen on Rd (easy on own as I can follow road routes) but Mtb looking for routes to ride. Training for Trans B and Mtn Mtb race in Aug. Pm if you keen to let me join you.
  16. Are the Watts measured on the Tacx Flow accurate? I have put my bike with the Cycleops PM on the flow IDT and have seen to very different readings...one from my joule and the other from the flow IDT computer. The flow over reads by 50watts...how do u calibrate your flow be make sure it is correct?
  17. Bought the 2012 R1 Racings for Epic...will Not go back! My riding partner bought the 2012 Xtr, we both torn, but After is brake blew on day 6 in the rain and mine did not I win ;-) LOL So go Formula!!!
  18. Had a power meter for a year and would never look back! But you still need the mental to stay focused and a good coach to help you understand how to use it effectivley. go for it!! You won't regret the purchase, we spend all this money on extra bikes, wheels, lighter group sets...but not on our own development!
  19. Have a carbon niner and the 26er multivan, love them both! I feel in SA there is so many different races, where either bike can benefit. So for me 50/50 for both
  20. Yip 2007... did 2008 and 2009...Poured down on Both
  21. SwissVan...Why not try stretch that area??
  22. tried the Hutch pyhtons 2.1...CRAP! tried the conti race kings 2.2...CRAP! so the only ones I have been happy with side wall etc...is the Racing Ralphs
