MTBer

What worked for me is a double bolted seat post

You all forgot to mention the Arm Warmers

I logged on, entered my details as per this years event and in a matter of seconds got a response that I am on the accepted list. Dont see what the fuss is.

I took these 2 pics a couple of weeks ago on Empire road near Wits

The other thing that does not happen in SA is that you can not get spares/parts for some of the items, I saw on the Shimano website that you can order almost to the last nut and bolt. I needed to replace a shifter on my MTB and when queried here with a couple of bike shops is that you can only get them in pairs

Thanks, on my way

Where is the factory shop

It was mentioned on Super Cycling by Farmer Glen that there will be a third race the same time as the adventure and race

When my broken marathon frame was replaced last week with the new Sensor frame I had to get a new rear shock as the travel was diffrent, and yes they did come to the party regarding the price of a new shock which I was happy to pay as now I have a brand new frame and shock.

I have just had my GT Marathon 1 MTB (Aluminium) frame replaced under the GT warranty, (cracked it on Day 2 at Sani2c) it was replaced with a GT Sensor frame as they do not manufacture the old frame anymore and it was sorted out within a week with my LBS here is JHB. All I can say is that I had good service all round.

you will eventually hear metal on metal and you will take a bit longer to stop

Hi all, I am wondering if this is fixable. I took a tumble and snapped the carbon rail on my 2 month old Gobi. your asistance will be welcome as I am not looking forward to forking out more money..

Hi all, I have noticed there are quite a few requests for sourcing a new battery for Polar (CR2354). I found this place off Eloff st Ext for R10 a battery, off there this afternoon to pick up a couple. http://www.mantech.co.za/ProductInfo.aspx?Item=CR2354

only one member of the team is guaranteed of an entry, if you want to ride as the same team its ok. You cant split up a team and have two guaranteed entries.

I rode the very first event way back and I have been back every year since sometimes with different partners. Wont miss it

Cajees is the only bike store I ask for discount and you will ba amazed at how much they will come down too

Linden Cycles have some

HI there, I was just wondering, I have Shimano XT bottom brackets (cups) with hollotech cranks and within in a year I have seized the left one twice and I probably average about 60k's a week , has anybody had the same problem.

I think back pedal breaks are must for kids around 3-5, they just dont have enough strength in their hands to pull a break hard enough for them to stop in time

And add a little mud to it and your cycling shorts getting a bit wet

Ride there quite often as we have a house there and it is good riding, no hils though. If you ride the perimeter along the fence you should get about 30kms and then include some of the single track as mentioned above

Where do you guys order your seals for a Fox fork, I see CRC does not have any

Those sign holders definately make Joburg great

I think we should all thank the Joburg residents who allow us to have the full road closure, if it were not for the residents patience and tolerance this race would never survive. I think the cycle challenge office should put a full page add in The Star to thank them

I PVR it and then fastforward and stop if I see anything interesting, normally takes 10 mins to watch
