  1. We can't understand why we can't go for our daily run.....
  2. Not quite a custom build, more minor alterations at the moment, but the frame suits my needs and she will be adapted over time.
  3. There is one red spacer in that cassette. Try and turn it around. I have the same hub and that was my issue. I had put it in the wrong way around.
  4. Drop me a pm and I will send you gps tracks of the route we follow when we do it if you would like them.
  5. Are you including lugs and mounts for extra waterbottles etc?
  6. And they come with all sorts of bits to protect the various parts of the bike. Worth it imo.
  7. We bought bike boxes from here https://bikebox.company/ . They are not particularly cheap, but they have paid themselves off in the time that we have had them with zero breakages. Worth a look if you are going to be travelling by plane/truck/bus etc.
  8. I visited it last week after finishing the Race around Rwanda. I haven't fully internalised it yet, and I'm not sure that I ever will, however I do believe that the 4hrs I spent there will have changed me for life.
  9. Running shirts do the trick for me. They are still a wicking fabric. Reasonably, to well priced, at Decathalon.
  10. You have to take your climbing legs with. They don't call it the Land of a 1000 Hills for nothing! I got to see volcanoes, one of the great lakes and ride through a rain forest all within 170 odd kms.
  11. http://www.racearoundrwanda.com/ https://inthebunch.co.za/2020/02/dave-bell-pushes-his-endurance-at-inaugural-race-around-rwanda/ Great and well organised event. Very interesting country and I could do this race at a fraction of the cost of our SA races. Air tickets to Rwanda are relatively cheap. All you need is a weeks leave.
  12. I went to participate in the Race Around Rwanda. A new non-stop, self supported bikepacking race.
  13. The second photo is Nyungwe Forest. The first one is after I came out of a valley about 270km east of Kigali. Bikepacked all around Rwanda.
  14. Just been cycling in Rwanda. Some spectacular scenery and a great place to ride a bike.
  15. Maxxis tyres have a line just above the tyre bead which should run parallel to the rim when seated properly. If there is one area still below the rim lip you will not be able to see the line and you will the know which area is being problematic. A little bit of manipulation with your hand in that area can help seat it. You can see what I mean on this vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdzau5cQE3Y
  16. Are spares available for Suntour forks?
  17. @Davidworltour If you do not come right with the above, drop me a pm and i will send you a gps route of back roads and a bit of dirt that we have done a few times. It is the route mentioned above via Heilbron etc.

    I may be wrong. Munga whatsapp group think she's female.
