Umm, perhaps motorists could do the same? Conduct themselves as cognitive humans instead of feelingless automatons intent on the destruction of all those in their path?
Hell, Pop's alot of questions all at once! I rode my bike stock on Sunday, didn't change a damn thing! One of the hardest days of my life! I also did alot of very aero tucks combined with very high cadence! The one in the mag is my very own, you can tell by all the white duct tape stuck to it!
Yeah, you really, really need the 34 at the back, the cool thing for me is that the granny ring is now actually a validly useable chainring, on my old clown bike I never used the thing. Maybe I was just younger and dumber, don't think so though, I'm still pretty dumb!
Funny that we never heard anything about the guy that caused the first day crash... What makes the acis guy so special.... Hey, thanks all, yeah I'm good, and there wasn't one first day crash but 4 in the first 10 km, then a couple more later on. A little pissed that I managed to stay upright the whole of day one but came down twice on day 2, oh well s)*t happens.
The Titus is awesome! The Fisher is also awesome but in a different way, it's simpler. Got a Fox F29 on the Fisher and a Reba Race 29 on the Titus, the Fox is winning at the moment. The important thing is the wheels, they have to be light and strong, also try get the Spesh Captain tyres or the new Bontrager Dry X's. Both bikes are running flat wide bars.
I'm taking 5 sets with, gonna see which I feel like running on the day. A set of Spesh Captains A set of Spesh Fast Trak's A set of Bontie Dry-X's A set of Crossmarks A set of Small Block 8's Thinking of taking some Python's with as well, just in case.
Was wondering when this was gonna turn into a slagging contest. Full sus, is the way to go. 100mm front and rear, if you're racing on one of those smooth sculpted courses then maybe (only maybe) you can ride a ht, other than that a decent full sus has been proven to be more effecient, they just climb better due to superior traction control.
Yo Haga, I have a RX 29'er, I got the custom one but the guys at Bowmans have the Ali ones. Get hold of Shane at this address: Shane@BowmanCycles.co.za
I'm kinda climbing like a cheese filled sausage at the moment. I'll take you on on that one though. Hell, I'm wearing pink I gotta get up that damn hill quickly!
