Stretch Posted October 13, 2012 Share For those who have done it before, would u suggest doing it on a 26fs or 29ht? How bumpy is the majority of the tracks, or are they smooth like Sani2c with just a few technical sections?way more technical than sani..... and gravely thornveld.....fs if i were you.....

Ratty Posted October 15, 2012 Share As a matter of interest who is doing what....we are doing the new Great trek which i have been told is going to be quite smallish field and lekker chilled.... We are also doing the Great Trek. This time in 2 weeks, we will be on our flight to Durbs. BTW, decided i'm taking the HT. Rode my FS yesterday for the first time in 2 months and I'm so much slower up the hills. Not just because its a FS, I've got more grippy tyres as well.

Ratty Posted October 15, 2012 Share Wow, that video is incredible, really excited now. Stretch, when you say hot, are you talking 30's or 40+? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch Posted October 15, 2012 Share Stretch, when you say hot, are you talking 30's or 40+? a hot day will easily reach mid 30's to 40 degC.....not saying it will necessarily be like that but come prepared in case we have a hot day.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChickenPush Posted October 16, 2012 Share a hot day will easily reach mid 30's to 40 degC.....not saying it will necessarily be like that but come prepared in case we have a hot day....

What is the main area we are riding in i.e what region do we select when looking at the weather report? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
