  1. And the beers were ice cold!!!
  2. I started in B batch for the half marathon. I only got stuck behind a few riders on the single track and only for a few seconds at a time before a gap was found. Everyone was pretty aware of each other i thought. Maybe I was just lucky but the riders hitting an incline in the wrong gear and having to jump off also got off to the left and I could go around. The previous post was spot on...no free miles at cradle moon and the heat made it tough. But still a good training day! VG will be a good one as well. I like both tracks coz I love to ride my MTB 😎
  3. Just consider that when you supplement creatine, your body stops producing it naturally, and I am led to believe at lower levels after stopping supplement.
  4. Its a bit like asking which is the best bank.... 🙂
  5. do you have a picture. there seems to be a few dts models
  6. If you are unsure .Start at 2bar at the back and 1.8 in front and go from there....you won't end up far off that pressure.
  7. You should be able to try and buy when you collect your number.
  8. I'd like the installers name as well. Thanks
  9. Fair comment and questions. You have to keep the e-bikes out of normal bike racing. I like e-bikes and what they have done for the sport, but keep them to themselves.
  10. A bit of revelation for me was how good (comfy) my bike feels after a 100+ km ride. I run a 30mm (6bar) at the back and a 28mm up front (5bar). Hutchinson tyre. Binned the GP5000 after is started to crack/perish a year into its life span. Was too risky.
  11. I switched from GP5000 (perished edges within 12 months) to Hutchinson Fusion5. Great grippy tyres and feels like a Pro One. Running 30mm tyre (6bar) at the back and 28mm (5 bar) in front. I'm 95kg's
  12. Yes if its a cost decision. Your big change will be the free body. You need to research is the Novatec will allow you to swop out the XD freebody and replace with Microspline to accept the Shimano 12spd. If it doesn't allow a straight swop then its a new hub on the back....
  13. Just don't hang your bike off the back of the rack. Get one that your bike stands on and is clamped. The rest is covered above!
  14. For what it's worth. I ran Pro One's which stick like *h*t to a blanket on the road, loved them. The GP5000TL have been disappointing in that they have perished quite badly on the wheels I had hanging in the garage. I was surprised at how bad it got and how quickly, but they were also great.
  15. Maxxis Ikon 2.1 at the back or Race King 2.1 at the back. Run Ardent, Ground Control, Nobby Nic 2.3 upfront and you will have the best of everything. Tyre pressure is critical as well and skill.
