Mike Bike Posted June 16, 2013 Share 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 ChUkKy and arendoog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francois Pienaar Posted June 17, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spy Posted June 18, 2013 Share 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 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
