@SoloCyclist, the seller was @Mo79 who can hopefully clear up some stuff here as his ratings are great.

Are these on the 303 Xplr? If so, what do thet actually measure on those big boys?

Stoked on this, can't get the 2.2 RK in the back (If you have not switched bikes were in the same boat) And I have lost trust in a Thunderburt's ability to hold air. Love a Race King so will be on the shopping list as soon as available.

Beers in 5th Preen in 6th for the ladies

Outer is putting one in their new mtb. Have a chat with them

How does Gageberg compare to Hans se kop? Considering my current gearing up front and only comparable thing I have been up is Hans se kop. 42t 10/51 was right on the limit there.

Kicking off this weekend with Sea Otter. Keen to see how 'super team' tactics start to work it's way into gravel racing with the Spez boys.

KAP sani2c: ~R15,000 – R20,000 per team (~R7,500 – R10,000 per person). R3333pp/pd FNB Wines2Whales: ~R16,000 – R20,000 per team (~R8,000 – R10,000 per person).R3333pp/pd Cape Pioneer Trek: ~R20,000 – R25,000 (Solo/Tented). R6250pp/pd Berg & Bush: ~R12,000 – R18,000 per team (~R6,000 – R9000 per person). R3000pp/pd The 36ONE MTB Challenge: ~R3,700 – R3,900 (Full 361km Solo). The Munga: ~R29,999 (1,130km Solo). The Freedom Challenge (RASA): ~R35,000 – R45,000 (2,150km, including support stations). Absa Cape Epic: ~R113,750 per team (~R56,875 per person). R7109pp/d Added a per person per day. but should be further refined to per km, as there is a lot of cost racking up in route costs.

Sound like new bike day to me

"Serious racing ambitions" is a very broad concept 😂. I will not be sitting in front with you lot, so might as well fit the big ones. It is the Dylan Johnson magic RaceKing up front, so should go well. Still need to source a suitable rear in 2.1 or 50mm as I have lost faith in Thunderburts.

What are the tyre recommendations for this route? The larger the better? I have 45 options or 2.2/2.1

How does one go about checking a 2nd hand Garmin is okay and also not fake? Can you run the serial nr through Garmin? Is there a way to see if the battery is still fine? So many brand new "unopened" devices floating on the hub, gives me a counterfeit vibe.

Nice, I'd consider larger volume tyres for multi-day gravel, but the rest is prime.
