German myself so definitely not the issue ????. I think the biggest problem in general are assumptions. Mine was that I wouldn't crash before September, other people's would be that their LBS would have parts for the bikes, or that when you take it to the LBS they know how to service,wont scratch/damage, use correct parts and lubes. One difficult balance.

Hi Hubbers, Got in a bit of a crash this weekend and managed to bend my rear derailleur hanger. Wondering if there is anyone that can help me out in sourcing a new one? If anyone has a spare that they are willing to sell to me please post here. I have ordered 5 more from Canyon(extreme i know ) although will only have them in hand mid-late September so in a bit of a pinch training and needing gears for the Jock Tour. Willing to pay postage and replacing ones should you not want to sell. It is a No.25 for the Canyon Aeroad CF SLX. It is a plated derailleur, two part, hanger and bending it is not a real option. Done it before although the hanger cracks from the stress. Not always straight after bending but during a ride some time after. Any help would be much appreciated. Any time off the bike in a state of emergency in my life

Did you find it on this website? https://www.asgevents.co.za/BergeenDale/ This one shows a 93km route labeled 102km. ASG needs competition. With the rates they charge for their events they can definitely afford spending 4 min in uploading the right route. Makes you think if they even applied to use those roads.

Do you know what route they are going to use this year. Sounds like the 2016 at 105.9km.

Well it is somewhere between 90-110km... Hopefully.

According to the ASG website your route is not correct, although that is not saying much. The ASG website is definitely not the best authority for ASG events. If you look at the asg posted route, it is 93km total. I think yours is maybe the 2015 route. Got a feeling it will probably be the 2015 route and they made the mistake.

Please advise if the route is 102km like 2015 or is it 93km as shown when following the route on the map provided. Seems as if a section for the 2015 route has been removed. The Ventersdorp section. Is this right?

Looks like a good race!. Anyone interested in joining a team PM me. got 3 other Elite category riders already in.

Any Elite teams looking for an extra member? Situated in the JHB Pretoria area.

If anyone sees people going the wrong way around please do call them out. Went there last week and there must have been about 6 cyclist going the wrong way (possibly everesting). Seriously dangerous stuff when someone comes at you on those downhills. Would hate to see it closed again bec people are not obeying rules. Seriously my favourite route. Worth the drive money and pain.

Thanks ACM will try them out.

Hey Shaun Any luck finding them? Keen on getting those for myself.

Done before in 94.7? Thought it might have been an error on their part, but hey another dimension not always bad. Cornering Intervals for me.

Looks easier, from MapMyRide, the total climbing has come down from 1444m (2014-2015) to 1305m (2016). Slight disappointment but looking forward. Wondering if they can still call it Joburgs toughest race.

Any ideas on how they plan to get from the M1( M2 on their website) to Carr street? Seems like a pretty sharp 180deg turn on the off-ramp.
