Plentipotential Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Note to self: Avoid buying a second hand Cape Epic 2014 bike! Unless it's a Bulls Bike. Underachiever and scuzzy 2
scuzzy Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) Correct me if I am wrong, but one of the Specialized "teams" are some of the in house mechanics. From what I understand they rode with Sauser and Rabon, and even with them there they could not fix it. Crap way to have to try and fight back from 10mins down.Sorry, just checked and they in fact did not finish with them. Hopefully they can lend a helping hand tonight. Edited March 25, 2014 by scuzzy
Spoke101 Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 I must admit, Specialized does not sound like the most reliable bikes, I mean, they had tyre issues yesterday and brakes today, not good. No wonder Bulls win on consistency. Apparently the major tyre issue yesterday was a rock got kicked up and jammed between the frame and wheel thus cracking the carbon rim. Then they have to put a tube in but first have to pick out the 20 thorns.
Meentb Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 It seems like most teams are on XTR brakes. Saucer is on XX. Believe Philip too. So how come Phil replaced pads early in the stage and Sauser had some trouble too. Se Cherise, Erik and a few others are on MT8's. Are there any teams using the ever popular Formula R1's
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Gotta wonder why Nino has not been able to pick a similar strength partner to have a real go at the GC in the many times he has done this now. perhaps he see's the Epic as training and isn't lloking for the win?

The mechanics team may have given parts to Sauser to help out and would explain their not finishing, yet.
Spoke101 Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 when/if max knox comes back to the hub we need to tune about this picture.ps. where is philip buys?!Here he is!!!
GoLefty!! Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Like I said, Rovals are crap. Buy at you own risk. The construction is dirt cheap
jcza Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Christoph Sauser @sauserwind 21m we had major brake issues. if we would not have our team mates helping us the overall would been gone. tx so much boys!!! On another note - Shurter is not riding the Epic to win it
Meentb Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 BIG UP to maxman. Awesome pics. Keep them coming. Maybe consider putting a signature on them. Might just see them being used by others Bloukrans 1
Tubehunter Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 perhaps he see's the Epic as training and isn't lloking for the win? Have guessed the same, but it seems crazy to come all this way and do that with all the resources Scott make available, just for training....

On another note - Shurter is not riding the Epic to win it I really wish he would ride it to win it. Without the weather leveling things the racing would far less exciting

On another note - Shurter is not riding the Epic to win it Guess it's still cheaper for Scott Factory Racing than hosting a training camp exclusively on their own dime...
