phil looking great, hope he can hold it.. will give him super confidence for the worldcups..

GREAT start by Phil leading at the moment..

dudes currently lining up for the race...

I saw the one Kenyan lady, she was riding in tekkies and plastic flat pedals, when I say riding, she was walking the downhill sections...

the course looks really nice, flowing single track sections, nice drop offs, technical bits..they are only showing the first 3 riders basically, haven't seen any of the other riders really..

batty into 3rd, looking lovely as ever..

batty 4th

streaming the ladies currently on DSTV.com Pendral smashing it.. aus in 2nd.. haven't seen Mariska yet

Well done Swiss, glad you got your nutrition sorted.. NAAAAASSSS ONE!

just realised dualx hakahana and 5150 bela bela are on the same weekend... sat and sun, could be a hectic training weekend to do the double...

I couldn't do it unfortunately.. all I do know about other "technically challenging" Offroad Tri's or Du's is that there needs to be a lot of place for over taking.. hakahana has a lot of technical jeep track, rather make the route on jeep track then on singletrack, at least there is a chance to pass on jeep track

I had one for a few weeks, but returned it due to technical issues, I wasn't very impressed, the battery life is also not great.. need at least 12 hrs. got the 910xt and its SUPER

try put an elastic band around the brake lever, so that it holds the wheel in the brake position.. leave it overnight and see if it improves - sometimes it sorts it out... the lever may get more "power" after a while with the elastic band on. remove, pump the lever a bit and reapply the elastic band... hope it sorts it out for you..

Which direction were you going in Achilles, west or east?

that emergency hanger was only meant "to get you home" as far as I remember, not sure if you want to use it to race with?

Yip, I just got myself a set for R3000.00...

with you on this one..

I must say it is nice to get this info after the hearing.. no need to speculate on guilty or not guilty.. done and dusted by the time we hear the news..

oh and the link the that item has now been removed...

Not sure if anyone has posted what the mail advertised yet? don't have time to go through the pages and pages.......

R110k at Lynwood cyclery

The Burry one is going for R110k

MUUUUCH faster, at that price you wont be able to afford to eat, so you will be constantly at race weight ;-)

Apparently going to be priced at around R130k - according to the guys at Lynwood Cyclery

We don't all have "The Mountain" MH - us GP riders get our thrills by riding blind behind other riders ;-)
