That sounds like a great combo because I have found th RK to be lacking sometimes on the grip. Difficult to find a 2.4 UST MK though.

Also interested in any reviews of the X king as my MK and RK are starting to look a little tired.

I think joining a reputable cycling club is a fantastic idea. Its probably the quickest way to improve your cycling because there are always people better than you (generally). Its also a great way to meet new peeps. That being said there are some rubbish clubs out there that are not worth joining. Give the local club a call and join them on a ride or two to suss things out. If you like the vibe and the rides suit you in terms of day/time then give it a go.

A pool is a good start

Ja u would have to adjust it if you changed the cassette and chain etc. But what distance would you want to keep between the chain and the cogs is my question?

On a side note, what is the perfect distance between the upper jockey wheel and the big and small cog at the back? I understand you use the b tension bolt for this adjustment. Just want to clarify the distance to have.

U need to learn to do the fixes yourself. Go buy the parktool big blue book on bicycle repairs or just google it. Replacing a hanger and a derailer is fairly straight forward. The limit screws are a bitch though.

Paid! Now we wait for the big day

Just got a mail from Glen. Payment hasn't been open yet, it will open sometime today (ja right) and they will send a mail informing everyone. So just monitor your mail and wait. On the positive side, I get to spend longer with my R4.5k AND We have an entry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has anyone paid yet? Cant find the option to pay anywhere

I've had the RS800CX now for just over a year. My thoughts: Its a great unit and its very easy to use and set up multiple bikes and shoes. I have it set up on my road bike, mtb, road running shoes and trail running shoes. The footpod is great and I find it very accurate. I have measured it with the car and its 99% the same. Another thing that no one mentioned here is that you can upload your workouts onto polarpersonaltrainer and earn Discovery Vitality points. I'm a +- 8 - 10 hour a week guy and I clocked just over 11000 points. Got us our gold status which is pretty cool. You cant do that with Garmin or Suunto. Great unit, buy one, you wont regret it.

I know guys have raved about it before, but I wanted my own Went out there with some mates yesterday and did the black route. WOW!!! That was the best, most demanding riding I have done in CT. Its relentless, you either k@king off up a monster climb, or white knuckling down some ferocious single track which is superbly maintained. Our 30km ride might sound easy but we had 860m ascent. Also the zaam at the end was great, such friendly service and I even got to practice my Afrikaans a bit

Nothing in CT?

I was in this position at the beginning of the year with IM70.3 At the time I had an entry level road bike and was thinking seriously of buying a TT bike. However, based on the fact that I would only do a max of 5 triathlons a year, a dedicated TT bike just wasn't the way forward for me. I thought long and hard and eventually settled on the felt AR4. Its an aero road bike which is 100% convertible to a TT bike. I bought the clip ons and a tri saddle. I think the ar4 is the best dual purpose road bike in this regard. The design is identical to the TT bikes besides some geometry on the rear triangle. The best part though is that its one seriously kick ass bike to use as a road bike which is what I use it as for 90% of the time. So ja, if you have a spare 30k for a TT bike that you dont mind riding 5 times a year get a TT bike, else get a aero road bike like a feltAR, Cervelo S, Scott Foil or the Spez Venge. I would stick to the Felt or the Cervelo personally.

Yip, cant deny it. Zula is only a year old, gonna have to wait a lil longer

happy wife, happy life

Chubba u love arguing That sukuma sounds lekker. May need one of those soon. Wonder how much they gonna go for?

Well priced. Wouldn't touch it.

Thats revolting. Respect to anyone who buys one, but if you have XTR on your bike there is no need for that. Rather take the cash and buy a real watch like a Festina, Tissot or Tag.

I have the same bike. Such a lekker ride. Enjoy it dude!

We did kloof nek, signal hill, and tafelberg road up to the cable car station. Total ascent 540m and distance 24km..............Decent mornings ride.

wow this is going to be one sweet ride! :clap: :clap:

That initial bit up boyes drive from that direction is virtually vertical!

From my experience. -Redhill road in simonston is an absolute biatch of note -The mast at tokai is very very very steep -Kloof nek is also pretty darn steep -Noordhoek peak is a monster -Suikerbossie is also tough but of late I seem to be getting better at it -Chappies is pretty staunch but all depends on the speed you wanna go through it Thats about it from my side, good mix for a hill training sessions there.
