Probably more important what carbon rims you are running. too wide and they will blow off. hookless and the tires will not work. Some guys trying to run MTB rims and they are often too wide.
Ye 29er carbon Mtb rims. 33mm wide. Why would there be an issue with a 38mm gravel tyre? Never had a problem with the schwalbe all ground gravel tyres that were 38mm (except for a side wall cut)?
What tyre blew off? I’ve been using Specialized Trigger Pro 38’s for some time now. They’ve been great.
How do the specialised roll on and off the road? What rims you running them on?
Panaracer gravelking tyres
So my second gravel tyre exploded off my new carbon rim today.
Please can I have some advice on what gravel tyres to run on my gravel bike? Any recommendations? Looking for either 38 or 40’s.
I rode with the schwalbe G-One all round gravel tire. 38mm. Did quite a bit of gravel and corrugated and single track riding and never had a problem with them. First 1km of dirt on Saturday and that was me done for the day with a puncture and a side wall cut in the same place on the tyre.
All recommendations welcome for new tyres! I am going to give the Panaracer 38mm gravel king tyre a try going forward!
Gravel race to loskop from benoni
I'm pitching this tomorrow night to my fellow race committee members, to include as an event for 2019. There are plenty gravel roads in the East.
I feel like I missed out on a great day of riding! Took my new gravel bike out and punctured (side wall cut) as we turned off the road out of harties onto the first gravel section. Punctured and cut the side wall! Early pick up for my wife! I had a laugh when the next group of team riders came and the front guys on their mtb almost seemed to count me as the first gravel bike out... bad luck on my part but I guess that’s the way it sometimes goes. Will be back next year on my gravel bike but maybe on slightly more rugged tyres with stronger side walls!
Rode the stretch from Sprocket & Jack to top of Emmarentia via Alberts Farm and back today.
No worries on a gravel bike.
Will start the spruit from the witkoppen Rivonia side and ride all the way up... all good on a gravel bike from that side of the spruit?
Anyone done the spruit on a gravel bike lately? Coming from the east rand and haven’t ridden up the spruit recently
Has anyone entered yet and what do you get as part of the race entry? I read somewhere that 3 sun city entries are included and discount on accommodation? What are the specifics on this before I go ahead and enter? Would my wife and daughter get into the valley of the waves with the entries included?
Anyone know if we can still book a car shuttle from underberg at registration? Our driver can’t make it anymore and need a car shuttle?
Anyone know please responses to us ASAP!
Go for the Trek! Amazing bike and amazing special they running at the moment! Use the balance of the cash you would have paid on the tall boy and enter a stage race that you can work towards and enjoy the bike on!
Hey guys, so i had a dilema today.
After deciding on the tallboy 3 i walked into olympic cycles today and saw the trek fuel ex 9.8 2018. trek is running an amazing special at 69K for the bike.
is the tallboy still the better buy?? how do the two compare??
My riding is Tygerberg trails and the odd race. I do not compete for podiums just for smiles.
what say yee???
Quick question, what is the fastest double lap that any one can confirm (not a mates who knows a guy that knows someone).
2 of my friends rode elite, first lap at 2:16 and they took it easy on the second lap at 3:08.
Great day out on the bike...First lap 2:30, second lap 3:35 (at a nice pace) with some tequila and beer stops along the way...
Hey all. Can we collect our rcepack tomorrow morning? We only leaving JHB now and won’t make it in time.
Anybody got accomodation that we can buy for the 18th of August in Willowmore?
It was there - too hot to drink in a hurry....
May be in a hurry, but let it cool down and you will gain many many minutes based on recovering and drinking it for the next 80 kms! Felt like death before and felt like superman after the chicken soup!
Looking forward to TB this weekend!
For all those that did TB1, was the chicken salty soup at the top of bergplass again this year? It saved my life last year!!!!
Thanks
Where did you find the seedings?
Seedings are out.
AL. First time attempting the race. Eek!
Ye that is not cool hey! I ride both on the road and the mtb. Road as it's less wear and tear on the bike and softer on the pocket but ride all the marathon and stage races I can on the mtb...
This whole roadie vs mtb thing is rubbish. You should just reply and say, oh another mtb rider riding his bike on soft tar roads...
In the end, we all cyclists trying to ride our bikes and enjoy the sport of cycling... Who cares what bike you on, at least you out there riding the bike!
But, if you are going to ride, don't pass comments on the bike to other cyclists, especially if you only doing 5km/hour on a climb.

Does modders take cards or only cash? Riding there tomorrow and just want to make sure I have cash on me if I need cash
Hi All
To all the guys that ride the spruit often, do you think it will be dry on Saturday after all the rain we have just had?
My buddy and I are riding from Centurion and want to hit the spruit to Northcliff hill and back again on Saturday morning but we don't ride it often after rain.
Will it be a mud fest?
Cheers guys!
