My latest Momsen SL792 Carbon SS, after a frame replacement due to a warranty claim

Hi Guys I lost my Garmin Edge 200 at Hero Adventure Park (Heia Safari) on Sunday 29th June. I put it on the boot of my car when I was loading the bikes and forgot it there when I drove off Went back later to look for it, but no luck. If anyone found it please PM me.

My latest SS ...

Yes, you probably were right about the gearing. . However my team mate was riding a geared bike, so I had to gear so I could at least stay in touch with him on the flats.

+ another 1, I did on a HT with a rigid fork, it was awesome :-)

Unfortunately I didn't manage to finish on my SS, mostly probably due to the heat, lack of training & wrong gear selection for the altered route on day 2. Managed day 1 fine with 18x34 and decided to stick with that for day 2. Wasn't feeling strong after day 2 & after looking at day 3 profile (hilly start & flat finish) I opted to put gears on my bike and finish the race. :-( maybe next year

Thanks, noted. But I'm going to stick with 18 for day 1, think its technical enough to stay with the geared riders. Plus my partners on a geared bike, so I'm going to have to do my share of the work.

Thanks Edgar, I normally ride 16x34 - Northerns, Modders, B'sorah etc.

USN Cup races were flat, VG definately wasn't :-)

Thanks, but that should read 18x34 not 18x24. Thought I had correted it.

Hi I am planning to ride the Berg & Bush Descent on my rigid SS, any recommedations for gearing ? I did Spring Classic (18x34), Nissan Trailseeker Cullinan 70km (16x34) and Van Gaalen 70km (18x34). Also the USN cup, but they were flat.

I'm planning to do the Descent on my singlespeed this year. Any advice ? I did the Nissan Trailseeker #3 Van Gaalen 70k marathon with a 18 x 34.

We'll be there, its a good race
