So using a 32t hollowgram crank is perfectly compatible with Sram eagle? Or do you have to run a larger 34t spider front blade?

Gym opened in constantia that has an altitude room 2800m above sea level. I tried it out the other evening and I must say it is very different to normal sea level training.

Is this just another gimmick or will it change my performance? Need something to keep interested over the long winter....

Chances are the shop will now go bust and liquidate making it harder to get your money back. I would first get the cash and then splash it on social media.

Looks like we have some serious rain on the way for the first 4 days. Stage 1 just got interesting and I need to get some extra break pads and a sense of humour!

Just swopped my Shimano XTR for XT. I go through XTR pedals every 9 months or so. Comes clean off the axel and cannot repair it in the field. I would just stick to XT but I have a warranty and they hand me new XTR's. I just nod and accept...

I did Tankwa this last weekend. I would say GR300 is tougher but the weather is cooler and the terrain not as rugged. But there are no free miles in the Knysna forests it's either up or down. Heading to GR300 tomorrow, looking forward to it.

From finishing middle of A group last year to C! And I PB'd- 94.7 (2:30) and 99er 2:44.... You think is worth moaning and trying to get reseeded?

My roval hubs and spokes are giving massive problems, keep popping spokes out. Mechanic has advised to rebuild with new hubs before the Epic. Any views on these hubs? I just want reliability. O and I love my Chris King road hubs....

My specialized shocks are so lekker after the 150hr service.

Anyone know what the distance will be before we hit the dirt section?

I ride D-E, the group seemed slow rolling to the climb and then took the climb really slowly allowing everyone to get back on. There were 5-6 guys working hard in the second half and one rider that had bees in his head and took us on an interval session for 20min. By agter Paarl the group was tired and the pace slowed only to hot up in the final sprint by guys I had not seen all day. I have no issue with wheel suckers that appear for the bunch sprint. I just need to get back up to B-C to suck those faster wheels....

You think they will allow me to watch the service?

50hr service is R700 I think and full service R1500. They even made me sign off the invoice! Be prepared

R1500 per shock, so it was R3000 for the two. How complicated is it to service and how long does it take. Not even my land rover costs that much to run. And that's saying something SPECIALIZED. They have a monopoly on servicing these and that makes me feel uncomfortable and the competition commission too.....

Atta number 4 done, 7:30. With my pedal coming off the spinal in the last 20km so it was a single leg strategy to limp home. That's the third Shimano XtR pedals that have broken like that. 1 per year. Wtf

Spoke to Beers at RECM 200, after the heavy injury he had from moto cross and then to get on a MTB and ride like he does, outstanding. Give em hell up front. Got seeded back to A from D, seeding operator error apparently. Atta number 4 and nervous like it was my first.

I waited to get my PPA number with 500 other sods. Missed my start group D and headed out with H!! TT for 2hrs05min but was a great route. Love the races around CT instead of that rollers out north every weekend. Bring on Attakwas this weekend , lots of rollers/mountains/rocks and mud there!

Had the same issue last year, it's your clear position. Get hold of Spook Groenewalt he has a wonderful bike set up tool.

So will that MTB race next March be called the Specialized Epic? Quick Kevin lawyer up!

Nobody will stop me riding my bike, ever! Economic 'riding' freedom fighters to the fore.

Any views on riding 25cc over 23cc? Other than a more comfortable ride. My new specialized 25cc turbo also have zero tread...should I be concerned?

Tour does similar climbs but the routes are generally very different. It's just unimaganative by Dr Evil, western cape has many more places to ride. Maybe 2012 was a very profitable year and all they see are dollar signs. #capeepicdissapointed But I am paid up and will enjoy it non the less. But J2C and pioneer now look more interesting. But that amabubesi is calling. But then again I can just buy the jersey at the store, no?
