Mike Bike Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 I had a great race...was much tougher than i was expecting. I managed not to puncture this time...which makes a big difference.
Mike Bike Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 It seems a Continental Race King is not the front tyre to have on this type of route... race king should never be on the front...x king is your man arendoog and ChUkKy 2
Sharkie 2 Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Race King will never be my front tyre....rear tyre yes arendoog and ChUkKy 2

Francois Pienaar Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 I had one near fall but managed to keep the rubber side down.But the terrain never let off; rocks, sand, rocks, sand, marbles... Today showed me how rubbish my technical skills are, haha. Overall it was a jol and I was happy with my performance on the marathon and I managed my goal of a top 10 finish, 8th. My ego took over when I saw the "KOM 500m" sign, so I attacked and took the KOM for the marathon just to find out that there is no prize for it (only the Ultra guys.) Big up china, rough race. Def another monster on the calendar. Helpmytrap 1
Rusty250 Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Awesome route and amazing riding conditions. Pity no training before the event made it really hard. Compliments to he organizers and the the generosity of he private game farm owner / s beanz 1

spy Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 I think this race is one of the toughest Marathon races under the MTN National banner,Sabie / Barberton is all about climbing altough the terrain does challenge you and technically you can cope, Clarens is closer to Rooiberg because the total accent is similar but the terrain and technical nature drains every-bit of last energy you have and if your concentration is off in this race you will pay for that.
Stefan Cremer Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 race king should never be on the front...x king is your manX-King sure has the grip and lowish rolling resistance you want for front tire, however the sidewalls are rubbish, even in the Protection guise. The X-King cost me a top 10 at Tulbagh, again in Wellington and around 25minutes at Rooiberg - all sidewall scuff marks that just continue to leak air. Rubbish tyre. Rooiberg was a properly tough test of skills, those marbles kept the downhills really interesting!
