  1. Awesome event. Second year I've done it and great trails. Well organized, from camping to after race entertainment. Amazing trails/routes. Suggest the Friday night ride made a bit shorter. Not because it's too tough, just a stretch for a lot of riders to get there in time for the start and then only able to set up camp afterwards. Average rider took about 2h30min which means after showering, eating and setting up camp it is quite late. Maybe 25k's. Well done again to the entire team. Will be back next year.
  2. Thats awesome. Thanks. Will keep your offer in mind as my planning unfolds.
  3. Anybody else doing SRTR this year? I want to do it but struggling with logistics coming up from CPT. If I fly to Durban I can get a shuttle to PMB with my bike (in a bike bag). Problem: What do I do with the bike bag? How do I get back to Durban from Rhodes? Solution: If somebody else is doing SRTR from Durban or PMB, I could possibly get a lift to PMB and back from Rhodes. They could possibly take care of my bike bag as well. Any kind soul out there that can help? Thanks
  4. Can someone tell me if the Spring ride to Rhodes follows the exact same route as the RASA? Also I see it is guided but you can self navigate if you want to. Do the same rules apply to SRTR as for RASA? ie no GPS units, only compass, maps and narative? Thanks.
  5. With the eye on doing RASA in 2018, every travelling opportunity must be seen as a potential recce opportunity. I will be travelling to Willowmore and planning a return via PA. Searching on Google there is a faint line where the route goes, via Rondawel. Can this section of RASA from Willowmore to PA be navigated by vehicle? I suspect many farm gates, will they be locked? Are the roads private or public?

  7. Looking at doing some rides in and around Villiersdorp. Anybody know of decent mtb routes that dont just meander through vinyards and orchards? Can one do the Rusty Gate loop from Villiersdorp over to Greyton or is it all on private land?
  8. Hi Josh, can you give me an idea of costing to 3D print these? Also where are you based if I want to get them to you. Thanks.
  9. Apparently THULE strictly refuses to provide replacement hooks due to "safety issues" they say ! They even don't propose to have them replaced by a retailer.
  10. Recently reversed into a tree stump and broke the clips that hold the folding section of the rack in place. Problem, you cannot get them as spares and without them the rack is pretty much useless. Anybody have a solution for me? Anybody got an accident damaged rack they have that I can buy for spares?
  11. Any more route info available? Maps, profiles?
  12. My XTR brake lever recently stopped working. When I pull the brake lever it doesn't return to its original position. Either the shaft is sticking on the seal or the spring is not working. Not sure. Anyway, Shimano says they cannot be repaired but I have heard there are guys who are able to repair these. Anybody had this problem solved? They are 2011 M988's.
