Iron

Agreed , we have already booked accommodation for next year

Fair point , so when winter starts next year and all these oaks stop riding cause they dont like the cold . the classifieds will light up then is my hope .................... im in the market for new wheels thus the question , and i know there were some very cool ss built up a few months back.

So I have already bumped into a guy who no longer has his bike that he "specially" built up for SSWC. when are the rest coming on the market I'm looking for a deal

what a jol riding there in the dark , had a blast . madmarc , yip we cut it a bit short last night , rain and getting wet is no prob but lightning out there is not cool.

i think its fair to say that each dual bike will go through bearings and bushes at a different rate and some are cheap and easy to relpce and some not . My merida was a pain and for some friggen reason i use to go through the bottom bearings in the swing arm and the bushes on the shox at a horrid rate .

the constant servicing and cost of parts on my last FS is the reason i went back to a HT.

I ran race kings front and back. And was great in every event i used them in aswell as on my SS commuting. Think i need to go back to this again as the current maxis tires on my ss are *** !

if you can get a SS frame with sliding rear drop outs. its the way to go , or if all else fails listen to what Dangle said above .

Maxis Aspens on my SS , not cool tires for punchers ,i commute and ride this bike almost everyday .need these to wear out now so i can replace them . I got Ritchey WCS on my other bike and the great.

it's the tires I say , I had a pair of conti race kings on my last SS and did like a gazillion miles on them with no hassles . think I need to go back to them again .

its because you hakkers are always taking up the whole track and we have to bush bash to pass you

Wish i had your luck , im averaging a puncher every two weeks at the moment . think my tires have more plugs in them than tread .

I'm one of them , went from DS to HT and loving it . however this is personal preference , each to his own .

the latter , one day when you a big boy you will look back and appriciate...........

coolest toppie you ever met ......................

We stopped at every water point and soaked up the atmosphere , ate like all the jelly babies ( sorry everyone but i have a weakness for them ) and trundled along again .Note to self : trying to climb with a Boostedgp who weighs less than my bike is , well HARD !

You can call me anything you want but a roadie ! and you can keep your beers

Big up to him on his attitude , i like people like this and will be happy to deal with him . Wish him luck on the sale . As said the asg specials have kind of killed his sale , not his fault but i think it will move in time

Bring it , Iron is going to train for next years so you better up your game big time .

Great event filled with fantastic people . @ Karma , keep the beers till we can get together and all drink them

ahhh , cleaver man !

Ya , hats off to you on a SS , i ride my SS day in and day out and would not do this race on SS............................

Loved this race and well done to all !!!!!

Recovery drinks I only use after a big race BUT with a proper meal too or just a meal alone will do. Just did makele 3 day race this past weekend . after each day it was USN recovery max WITH a proper meal. Don't just rely on recovery drinks only , they do assist and are super convenient as pointed out by Eldron .
