NotSoBigBen Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 The tree above the hump is hanging low at the moment, you have to duck, killing all chances of building momentum. I had to walk the last 1/4 of the climb on Wednesday... Pleased to report that said tree has been cut back! I have also been able to successfully negotiate that climb a few times now ..... this however may well be more down to the few kilos I have shed Bobbo_SA, RocknRolla and Stretched@Birth 3

Hairy Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 That would explain why the thing is so skew. An oke with moerse big legs pomped that thing around the tracks Did you manage to get it working properly?Yes I did with this little tool Bike built up and riding can be found here https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/128530-single-speed-road-bikes-only/page-11?do=findComment&comment=2586466
Bobbo_SA Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 How was the bike with the new bar? Bar was awesome, actually the ride was awesome too, Mr B pushed us but didn't try kill us. The rigid fork takes a little getting used to and having to pick the lines more carefully is fun in the dark but all in all I'm quite chuffed to have the GT back as option to ride, still one of the more comfortable HTs I've ridden. Still need to weigh it but if my squishy bike is 10kg then i reckon this is close to 9kg. Will post a decent pic once i can get out in the sun on the weekend.

Oliver Z Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 36-17... Not a KZN cyclist then... Nope. From Jhb. Everything is relatively flat here.Even a 36:15 is fine for normal road riding.But, for an event like the Van Gaalen's 75 or Hakahana 75, it wouldn't be advisable to higher than 2:1 ... some challenging climbs on those races. The pic shows the 44:21 setup for the Juma race; after that I got a bling green chain and the new 36 for the front.

Lone_Ranger Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I think I recognise that stem...?Hahaha!! Absolutely. Nothing wrong with your memory. Matching stem and handlebar????????????????. Nothing like a bit of bling to spice things up. Ryanpmb 1
