    interesting stats on the times from each wave - Group B in 2nd place according the the median finish time.

    I’m certainly not fast, just good at sucking wheel and dodging snot ball’s 😂😂

    Hopefully soon this interaction will read: “you are registered thru your permanent finish time board, no need to go to registration, you will need this board to enter the start chute, have a great race” @NicholasH 😎
  8. im always curious to see an industry expert, world tour proffessional, show up here in a leetle forum tuning folks facts.
  9. not bold at all champ - chatGPT is quite resourceful out pointing out the stats on the risks of direct mount RD's with links to read up. Of interest is the number of reports of frame damage as a result of the removal of the drop out. Im not detracting from your bike packing experience, but a data point of one is not data.
  10. for those on the t-type yes, but then instead of a R80 dropout, you're now replacing parts at a multiplier of that if they break on the RD.
  11. actually quite easy, take a small piece of tin foil, and just crimp it around the remainder of the compressed pin, creates a reliable contact with the battery and will stay in place. needs reinstall every time you charge the battery though, so is frustrating.
  12. Has anyone given the holdfast solution a try? Priced really well at R4,6k for mounts and bars (bike racks excluded).
  13. Curious as to what this setup cost including the two pro rides? might head to willowbridge as well how much outside of the thule spec are you for the crossbar spacing? Did you have to alter the prorides to fit?
  14. with extra long bars (est. >1.80m) - you can fit your bikes past the roll bar like the picture below. this is the skitch rack option which fits with a t-fitting in the roller door gutter. i definitely want a similar setup to yours, but the thule price point for that solution, close to R20k, makes me want to search more.
  15. Agree - of all the evils for transporting a couple of bikes on a bakkie, above the bin seems like the lessor. im also at the point where im not sure above bin or on the roof is much of a difference, and sourcing a solution for the roof is alot easier
  16. Nudging this thread forward, on the exact same product hunt and surprisingly its not that straightforward. the outer width on the bin rails at 158cm is an issue for the aero rails needed, minimum 165cm-170cm needed. i am chatting to rhino rack now for a quote for this exact solution, but headed towards R10k before R5-7k for actual bike mounts. I've hunted on aliexpress and the footpads and bars are under R3k delivered, but max width i can find is 130cm Has anyone on here got this solution working? And how practical is it with half the bikes rear wheel hanging off the back of the bin?
  17. The carbon options from Silverback, titan even avalanche are worth considering. The silverback has excellent clearance for 2.1" tires which is what you want. Mechanical brakes can be converted to hydraulic using TRP calipers which are "weighty" but work really well.
  18. Might be a tad gusty on the return, otherwise cloud cover should make things comfy
  19. Any news on a published route/GPX file?
  20. Looking good for the 80km folk, the 130km folk have a little extra to contend with 🌼
  21. Moving the event for the G20 was definitely a blow, i hope the organisers are supported.
