Thug Posted February 14, 2014 Share If the marathon goes up the Mamba then a 32x20 (29") Mind you, even if its doesn't there are more than enough hills to warrant the 32x20. McFlats 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vega Posted February 17, 2014 Share Hi Guys. I'm attempting the Marathon and Half Marathon (the next day) on my SS.Its my first trip to the mecca of MTB in SA and really hopping for some dry conditions. any advise on gear selection for the marathon??? Cant wait!! I rode there in December with a 32 x 17 (26). Was first time on SS and took some strain. Agree with 32 x 20 for Mamba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudi Pollard Posted February 18, 2014 Share That first half kills your legs so the second half definitely does not feel like downhill!!! Hopefully it wont be as hot as last year WesselvdWalt, RossW and Lexx 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
