Tothehills Posted February 24, 2014 Share Have some one managed to find the great Tech support between water point 1&2 on the marathon race yet? Or are we now forced to carry a complete toolbox aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hennie VR Posted February 24, 2014 Share Well it seems sabie is wet wet wet. Sad I'm not there as I would have loved to be there. Good luck to personal hubber friends DewaldZA, HennieVR, DPLot and DACoetzee. May the two Dewalds score a top 20 finish and my brother from another mother a better time than last year. Yeah yeah I slowed him down. Sorry hendrik. En sterkte. Thanks Bud. Needed you out there for the moral support on Saturday but I think you had a lucky miss. Damaged list thus far:Chain, Cassette, Rear Shifter, Brake pads, might as well change wheel bearings as well as all cables. The mud got in everywhere and washing the bike at every stream didn't help. I can see a complete bike strip and clean coming up. Rode in my Hub kit and I can't even get that clean. Seems Omo has met it's match. Went for revenge after last year and Sabie made me it's B**ch again.............but I will be back in 2015!

wynandvdmerwe Posted February 24, 2014 Share Great race, even if it is slippery and muddy. Waterpoints were so much better than in Dullies, keep it up! WesselvdWalt and Li Mu Bai 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at replacing chain and cables. Wheel bearings are finished and the fork needs a service. Might have a seized headset as well. Oh, and don't forget the BB. As for the clothing - 3 washes with Vanish and one with Omo liquid has done little to bring back the original colours of my riding kit.

nickc Posted February 24, 2014 Share I saw a guy on a Cyclocross bike !!!HUGE RESPECT. Made me look like a real amateur. I saw that after the race - any idea who it was, I think I saw the same bike on a bike rack yesterday - a Cannondale. Any idea if he is on the hub - would like to get his thoughts on doing it on a Cyclocross bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea if he is on the hub - would like to get his thoughts on doing it on a Cyclocross bike.It was Freddie Pienaar. He was a pro road rider some years ago. Do not know if he is on the hub. nickc, WesselvdWalt and Pants Boy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarHugger Posted February 24, 2014 Share As for the clothing - 3 washes with Vanish and one with Omo liquid has done little to bring back the original colours of my riding kit. You will need the following:Clean Green + Sunlight liquid + high pressure cleaner = CLEAN KIT http://www.thehubsa....14/page__st__96http://www.thehubsa....stroom__st__192 Washing machines and powders (whatever it is) are useless!

I FLY Posted February 24, 2014 Share I'm with you on the complete strip, clean and lube/grease thing. Looking at replacing chain and cables. Wheel bearings are finished and the fork needs a service. Might have a seized headset as well. Oh, and don't forget the BB. As for the clothing - 3 washes with Vanish and one with Omo liquid has done little to bring back the original colours of my riding kit. I took the cheapskate option. I decided not to ride either day as I have destroyed more than 4 drivetrains in the Sabie mud over the years. Instead we did a ride to White River and back on Saturday afternoon. militarac, RossW, WesselvdWalt and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
