Thanks for the quick reply, I sent you a PM.

Hi, I need the end caps to convert a 142x12 DT Swiss Shimano HG rear hub to 135QR, would you be able to point me in a direction to someone that might have stock?

We went to Mankele in April, only the lower trails were open and after a discussion with management it did not sound like te upper trails would open soon due to farmers fencing their property and crime issues with illegal miners. We also did MTO in Witrivier, it was amazing and I was actually very impressed by the route markings.

Evobikes.co.za stocks them, not sure which one you are looking for

To spice up the discussion, should all the other riders that took the wrong turn on Kyalami get a DQ too?

Her take on this on her Instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/p/CWkJCa6q9r6/

The start time was taken after the neutral zone, thus not gun to mat.....they stated this in the preview video the week before the race and it reflects in my result too.

This is what happened to a lot of people, and I assume if they are going to be consistent they all should be disqualified like Emma was?

I do not see any obvious issues with the installation, although it looks as if the NDS crank is almost in contact with the bearing? Would it be possible to measure the width of your BB Shell? What frame is it?

As @JA-Q001 said, the setup is regulated by the NDS bearing and there should (in your build) be no spacers between the bearing cup and frame and there should never be any spacers between the bearing cup and crank arm. The dust seal does not count as a spacer. GXP come in 73mm and 68mm (and I assume your SRAM Red crank would be for 68mm), is there any chance that your bike's BB Shell width is more than 68mm? This could lead to your chainrings being pulled closer to the chainstay as there is a little bit of space between the drive side cup and crank arm. If all this space is taken when the BB Shell is too wide or spacers were used the bearings will not be able to turn as you will crush them. Can you maybe post some pictures?

Would have been nice if the road surface was better, I would definitely visit Tom more often. Best I could manage up there was a 2:58 when training, but the race got the best of me and in 2019 and I only managed a 3:22. Would love to have another go in a race this year.

What an idiot, lost all my respect for him.

Yes, with black lines

I stood at the start with the VA group wondering whether I should rather just go home as I did not like the weather and I'm still a bit negative after my wife was hit by a car that skipped a red light 3 weeks ago. I eventually decided to start in the B group. I was really unimpressed by the lack of work in the group as I spent most of the time at the front. I decided to just keep the pace high and see how the legs will hold out. The last km I totally blew up and ended 5th in the group. I liked the addition of the Hekpoort climb, but found the first 80km to be a bit boring. We had a close call with a vehicle from the front but our motorbike marshal did a great job in keeping us safe. We had a few ambulances come past us during the rain, I hope all involved in accidents are okay.

Yes that is what they advertised, but I also haven't received my points yet. Edit: just checked again and I received it now.

As far as I understand the racetec time has already been adjusted.

Exactly what I thought based on times I saw on strava. One issue though, the loop over Tom Jenkins would have been a lot slower than the rest of the route. I don't think they adjusted for this. Not that I care, just an observation.

We had a rider going down very hard in VA at the intersection by the Sasol garage, I assume it was him. He fell really hard on his head. I am not sure what caused the accident. I would also like to know if anybody could give us an update on this?

Really enjoyed the race, first road stage race for me and first stage race for my wife. Will be back for more.

Team Vitality question My wife and I joined team vitality, with the aim to use this to register for CSA licences. I am currently trying to apply for a license on the CSA website, but can not find the Team Vitality Club under the clubs listed. Any advice on this? I am also not sure how the kit is delivered or obtained, I applied online and did payment, but nowhere did the application ask for sizing and explain how the kit will be obtained? Thanks in advance.

Reviving an old thread: Going to Sabie this weekend, any updates on the safety and road conditions for road cycling around Sabie, Graskop and Hazyview?

Does this mean the seeding system is biased?

I'll join #RhinoFriday
