  1. Marking and marshalling was good except for last about 5km , after the mud and turn coming round the fence. Marshal was too busy on his phone to tell us to follow red and not black arrows. Ended up overshooting and having to turn around.

     

    Nice race though.

  2. 40km or so was lekker. It is a MTB event so am prepared to get muddy and dirty. It adds to the event.

     

    Watching the mud tumblers was fun too. Fortunately did not tumble myself.

     

    Nice race. Thanks to the orgsnisers

  3. I was going to start a new post, but since the topic is almost identical, I'll hijack this one...

     

    I'm planning to get a Lyne dropper post for my Merida Big Nine 300. Price seems good, reviews seem good, and I need a 27.2mm version - they are harder to find.

     

    Only problem, it's internally routed...

     

    Some forum posts suggest that one might be able to route around the inside of the BB - no idea how much space there is - but there is a large hole at the top, and smaller hole(s) in the bottom.

     

    Alternatively, it's a sub R10k bike, I'm not averse to drilling the seat post - perhaps an inch above the BB, at the rear?

     

    P.S. When I asked the LBS for advice, they suggested I buy a new bike that comes with a dropper post, only R45k hey!

    Lyne 27.2mm internally route dropper for Merida. Works fine.

     

    No need to drill. Pop one of the bottle cage rivets out and run the cable through.

     

    Search other dropper post threads where I attached pics.

  4. Great stuff. Hope to see you there. We are busy organising a party of note. Looks like the live band will be there all day.

     

    I'm working on the map at the moment and will post it a little later. Why don't you join on the weekend and I'll show you around some of the new flowing singletrack we've built...

    Cool. What time is the venue open from this weekend. I would like to give it a whirl
