Buying a can of Spray 'n Cook for in case we get hit by rain.

Stocked up on brake pads, got brand new tyres on, wheels trued and rim tap replaced. New valves as well.

Brakes bled, wheel bearings checked and hub bodies serviced. Rear shock serviced, Lefty is fine.

New chain rings and chain, rear cluster on both fitted and spare wheel cleaned to a shine.

 

Frame replacement arrived last week, so that's brand new and warranty replaced the cranks as well.

Not much more I can do now, my fate rests with the gods (and my partner).

 

The family is coughing and snotting around me and I am hoping I remain immune.

i still question whether this really works

It's cheap and worth a try. After 2013 Pioneer and 2012 Epic, I am allergic to rain and associated by-products!

Enough of all the weather reports, last minute panicing, illness paranoia and associated *** - let's get riding already!

Used it on the tyres and derailleurs at a particularly muddy SabieX some years ago and we did seem to have less trouble than others ... DO NOT get it on or near the brakes/rotors but I'm sure you all know that :ph34r:

What a performance by Hermida and Van Houts..

 

And sheewie.. Langvad and Kleinhans.. Langvad even pushing Kleinhans up some climbs.. girls are strong as nails hey.

 

Bulls 1 - I reckon they are happy with not losing too much time on the xc guys and even happier about the 1min lead over Sauser and Rabon..

 

Also a good ride by the Fedgroup guys.
