[Event] Spur Lourensford MTB Classic

[Hennie VR]

Yes... my bike also needed a serious service after the Gravel Travel but luckily no new chain required!

 

Mud was all over the front derailer which resulted in only having a few gears available for the rest of the race. So river crossing are going to be the next best thing.

Any recommended chain lube?

 

Yes... cleating was also a major problem in the Gravel Travel!

 

You can also ask at the water points if they have ekstra water to rinse the chain, but dont use to much otherwise I (sweep bike ) will suffer when I pass the wp.

 

I only moved down to the Cape earlier this year so chain lube is still a lottery to me as well, but I will be riding with a small bottle of Finish Line wet lube on Sunday.

If this was in my back yard, I'd do the same. Unfortunately, flown down for the weekend, so gonna do the race regardless of conditions. Hope it's not too rough.

 

It bloody cold and overcast this morning, so little chance of things drying out, I'd say.

Have a good one!

Keep the rubber down....
