  1. Last year was 102km this year again so don't see the issue as no where was it said the route has changed
  2. Yip my solution as well will be that
  3. What model XTR gear system is on there? Fork is a Reba or SID
  4. Any roads around PTA not the ones around the Gerhardsville area there are anycase no shoulders there
  5. Mountain biking.....basically almost nowhere except Groenkloof, Klapperkop, Fountains and the Monument unless you go out to PTA east but don't know for how long more The road is where it is safe but you need to look out for cars
  6. Go look at the 2012 route decent amount of climbing in each day not Epic acsents but I have heard a couple of pro riders saying the Joberg2C is tougher for them than the Epic because there is no chance for rest
  7. Yip I gave not been cycling their for sometime now also had a close getaway their once. I take it that this is Piere and his son David from the old DAD's cycling who now arrange the XC's at Fountains? Will keep them in my prayers hope he recovers fine
  8. What distance must I do, normally do the longest option but here are two or is the 132km option only for elites
  9. Generally the roads are good its only their through the township when you turn left off the road you goes towards Nigel with that its bad, this is also where the one hill is and were you usually loose the group
  10. So I was literally a couple of minutes to late to do the online entry, I was just hectically busy with work last week. I now need to do a line entry, what are the chances of myself getting the correct seeding? I am normally a A-bunch starter
  11. Sorry man but this is also very hard for me to believe, Advendurance stages the biggest MTB races on the calender with the MTN series and the NIssan Series in the Northern Area, if your statement was true then Fritz Pienaar and co would be a multi millionairs and could have kept all his shops. It has been proven numerous times without a sponsor an event means jack **** and can't be staged properly
  12. I actually expected this response, nowhere did I say the said person got what he deserved and that was to be shot. There have been numerous incidents on that highway with attempted high jackings and some that were high jacked in the last year, its the same if you cycle past Diepsloot on the road that runs next to the highway which links to the R55 its a gamble you are taking
  13. Thats bad news but it is illegal to be on that highway with a bicycle in any case hope cyclists learn from this
  14. Your club needs to to approve your application with CSA so I take you already paid your membership to the 1 st club and got your liscense approved? If so and you then joined another club just go onto their website and change your club details their it should not have an effect on your liscense
  15. Seems like excellent value for money Kiwi
  16. Monument is not a hectic course also two laps one big climb on the lap
  17. Actually Scott carbon and alu frames are made by Giant....Scott supplies the mould which have patents on them and Giant manufacture them. Thats why Giant is the worlds largest bike manufacturer...they make frames for plenty brands. I would go for Scott as Sintesi said the R&D Scott put into their bikes is 2nd to none
  18. Ah thought I may get a lead from here to help...damn
  19. Generally the bike is just one size smaller than the unisex size for example a normal medium would be roughly a womans large. True womans specific geometry would make sure that the seat tube is longer and the top tube shorter as ladies tend to have longer legs than upper bodies
  20. Hi Hubbers, Has anyone ordered something from the Livestrong Store online shop? I did and have been waiting 4 weeks now for it to arrive. I know the holidays and customs may have an effect on the delivery time but they can't supply me with a tracking number for the parcel! Their reasonong is that DHL Global Mail Priority (intl) posted it and when it arrives in SA the Post Office handles it from there. Secondly they charged me $89 postage to send it here so I thought great just like CRC when I take the DHL option I will receive it within 4 days max but no it seems its snail mail option. Has someone had better luck with them or someone I can try contact?
  21. The new Scale 29er series has been updated with more models, think they start at R8k now, I know of a couple of shops in Gauteng that have Karakorams, ask your GT dealer to find out if all the bike shops have bought them or some are on consignment, the GT Karakoram is great value for money
  22. I see it has Deore 30 speed but still to much I think
  23. Otherways to determine your VO2 max and LT exactly? To be able to train more scientifically and keep on improving without the methods the sport doctor or bio's use? Its normally R700 for a 6-12 week program so it really isn't that expensive
  24. I went from a shoe like yours to a carbon sole, I did feel a difference although I am sure it is not a huge gain except weight saving
  25. So the accelarate is still a low GI product just quicker release?
