Eldron Posted January 15, 2013 Share I think 2.5 will be fine then dont want a snake bite. What do you say Eldron I think thats about right for 110kg with tubes. You can go lower if you're a "finesse" rider that smooths out the bumps with technique but as a beginner I reckon 2.5 is good. Go tubeless - you can run lower pressures that result in more grip and comfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldron Posted January 15, 2013 Share hahaha, is this a inhouse joke or what?? A snake bite is when you hit a rock/obstacle and the tube is pinched between the rim and the rock - the twin puncture holes look like a snake bite hence the name ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rouxtjie Posted January 15, 2013 Share Jacques, what do you mean by No sleeves shirts?? aint a normal T-shirt good enough??The shirts with the sleeves chopped off, like a tri suit. Normal t-shirt is fine. Nothing in your ears or go-pros on you head. Just go and have a jol...take a spare tube...a SRAM quick link for your chain...1 bomb and adapter. two bottles of juice / water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut Butter Posted January 15, 2013 Share Okay, Just misunderstood that one. Thanks. Is the bomb I use for my road bike the same as the bomb I will use for my MTB?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bianchi Posted January 15, 2013 Share Okay, Just misunderstood that one. Thanks. Is the bomb I use for my road bike the same as the bomb I will use for my MTB?? It should work, but those are 12g bombs. For MTB you usually use 16g bombs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcza Posted January 15, 2013 Share It should work, but those are 12g bombs. For MTB you usually use 16g bombs. Or if it's a 29r you need a 25g bomb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pusher Posted January 15, 2013 Share Tube 29. Well, I bought the Titan Comp 29er with the standard stuff, so I think it's tube. I need to find a book like "MTB for dummies" or something. Like I said, I'm knew to cycling. lolMake sure you have a spare tube and know how to change it.The USN race is normaly quite popular with kids and families and has a great vibe and whatever you think I KNOW you will have fun.A couple of years ago the 10km ride was one of the first races my daughter did-12 at the time-and as you get to the finish you ride quite close to the dam which is quite bumpy. Well a couple of bumps later she found herself and her bike sitting in the dam in the middle of June. Man was she p*ssed off! When I spoke to the marshal who saw it happen later on, he said seeing the expession on her face was priceless and killed himself laughing.

Active Monkey Posted January 15, 2013 Share Just ride as if its a fun ride. If you feel you cant anymore, pull iff an get out of the track and take a min. Watch out for loose sand and riders suddenly just stoping in the path. Even if its 30km i take a camel bak filled with weak game mix ,as i put my phn in there ( emergency) i put in a banana and some jelly sweeties. I also cycle with a water bottle with just water as back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
