DaLoCo Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 I wish I had some nice looking aero wheels to compliment the bike....but alas, too pricey and I am too heavy http://i570.photobucket.com/albums/ss148/DaLoCo69/IMAG0310.jpg
Chubba Posted March 8, 2011 Author Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) Clearly its a road ride from the result so far - Had a plan this morning at 5.50 to ride from town to hout bay and up suikerbossie on the road bike to get a feel for it. Plans changed with rain and a sick kid. Sooooo it must be a sign to do it on the MTB. Edited March 8, 2011 by Chubba
Chubba Posted March 8, 2011 Author Posted March 8, 2011 MTB with knobs, going for sub 4.Have you changed anything on you bike for the road - gearing? Hardtail or soft?

Look at some Mavic Cosmic Carbones they can handle some weight.
Carmichael Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) Have you changed anything on you bike for the road - gearing? Hardtail or soft? Nope only pumped the tyres harder, and cleaned it after sunday. You ? Sorry a Hardtail Edited March 8, 2011 by Carmichael
Chubba Posted March 8, 2011 Author Posted March 8, 2011 Nope only pumped the tyres harder, and cleaned it after sunday. You ? Sorry a Hardtail Softail, but have put these on http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=39985 pumped to 4bar. Haven't changed anything else, not even cleaned from Sunday.
