There was a big crash in CL about 10min into the race- hope everyone is fine. A silly motorbike forced the riders on the RHS to slow down drastically. With the bunch being so large and the fast pace, coupled with the eager beavers, it looked/felt and really hectic as it happened 2 bikes away from me.

Hi guys, Any idea whether there is a shuttle from JHB to the start in Tonteldoos for this event (bike + rider shuttle). tx

Rode there today...was enjoyable as usual. I must say however that there are some of us that have complete disregard for one another. Twice cyclists in front of me felt its perfectly fine to blow snot rockets. We are in the midst of a 3rd wave ppl and its our responsibility to keep one another safe. Whilst you may be feeling fine...you could be asymptomatic, give Covid to me and I may pass it on to your parent/loved one. Its winter and some of us do get snotty, but carrying a simple handkerchief could save lives....that together with common sense!

Would also be interested in the 2021 gpx file. Looks like a tough day in the saddle for those of us that are recreational riders . On a side note- would you choose additional travel over lightness (trail vs xc).....the "monster" is now playing games with my head...

Also has a great experience with them earlier in the year. Was in the market during the peak of the 2nd Covid wave and didn't want to really go into shops. That said stocks were at the lowest levels ever. Engaged with them online across multiple platforms and their response was super and consistent. I wanted a few upgrades and they ensured that all was taken of to ensure a happy customer. Great customer interaction and updates via pictures as the bike was built. Highly recommended local bike shop with great online service.

Hello hubbers, I am on a 30t chainring and upgrading to a 32t. Do I need to change the chain to accommodate the slight increase? Drivetrain is a Sram GX (30t up front and 52t cassette). Drivetrain has <5% wear....so hoping I don't have to. I hardly use the 52 in the rear....but it good to know u have it just in case : ) thanks.

Hi guys, I got a GX 1x11. Not too sure what the milage is, but my chain has started to slip only on gear selection. This is only happening in the lower end of the cassette (10;12;14;16). Its not consistent...happens +- 5 times on a 80/100km ride and really frustrates me! I checked the chain and its worn to the 0.5 mark. Would the chain most likely be the issue or could it be the cable tension. The cassette seems fine and this does not happen on any of the larger gears (16 up). ​I keep the drivetrain relatively clean with a nice clean and lube every week. Thanks
