Stretch Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 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.....
Bicycle Supply Chain Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 so my fully rigid SS is not the ideal choice!?
Stretch Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 so my fully rigid SS is not the ideal choice!?in that instance......yes...you're nuts anyway!
Bicycle Supply Chain Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 LOL!!! SS for training only, keep olde geared bike for the marathon/ stage races! Love the SS though!

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.

sometime Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Yep, me too as of yesterday. Stoked... I won't be riding the Nishiki Performance Design this time through the Garden of Eden tho, thank God. I'm also looking forward to riding that trail with disc brakes, front suspension and a few gears.
Ratty Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Wow, that video is incredible, really excited now. Stretch, when you say hot, are you talking 30's or 40+?
Stretch Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 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....
ChickenPush Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 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.... Morning All Let me introduce myself 1st. I'm Hennie and have been actively reading/following the Hub for a long time.I'll be doing my 1st Berg & Bush next week and cannot wait. Not sure what to expect and if I'm ready or not, but bring it on.I had a quick look at the weather forcast and it is predicting rain for all 3 days

What is the main area we are riding in i.e what region do we select when looking at the weather report?
