  1. @Bbox - got it (we're now up to 10 entries, that's how quick the entries are coming in)

     

    @Imploder - point standings at the end of the Tour (24 July) is final - all DQ's after 24-Jul won't apply to this competition

     

     

    Frosty, have you forgotten about me? I'm not on your points table :huh:

  2. Hey BBox then you came in 1 spot ahead of me.

    Well done - great time for your first event.

     

    Now that I got the "official" distance on the run legs I feel a bit better on my run times ;)

     

    Got to cycle with a nice bunch - thus a very enjoyable ride for me.

     

    Great stuff that the weather played along.

     

     

    We must have been in the same bunch then... the guys worked well together.

     

    Even though I felt very good on the bike the last run was a big struggle. Felt like i was dragging a tire behind me.

  3. Monark, as a point of departure, you will notice that the budget of a few hubbers do not allow them access to the modern day conversion of bigger wheels, so instead of minding their own business and sticking to their mtbikes of yesteryear, they will nose around in threads where they have very little knowledge, and post irrelavant nonsense, and attempt to mock the world wide 29er hype. Just remember, this crowd is however very small, and as they are saving up their hard earned cash and converting one by one, the group becomes smaller, so that one day we will be able to post 29er threads without remarks from green-eyed-monsters.

     

    Back to your Q on the cockpit - It is believed that 29ers are better controlled by a wider flat bar with a shorter stem, and a racier setup to compensate for the raised front-end. A proper bike fit is however still the route to follow to ensure that you enjoy many miles on your bike.

     

    Take that you evil 26ers! :clap:

  4. We have succeeded in our application to the Chief Com to start the groups in order of fastest average speed at recent races.
