AdrianDJ Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Even if the wind wasnt blowing, unless you going to win the race, those wheels aint gonna make a difference. except for the bling factor
gummibear Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Even if the wind wasnt blowing, unless you going to win the race, those wheels aint gonna make a difference. except for the bling factor I think the OP is worried about the wind that's been predicted for Sunday........50km/h >
'Dale Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 It's the strong gusts in Cape Town that is so ferociousPlain wind with low gusts are fine to manage with 50mm
GoLefty!! Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 I have two sets of wheels for my road bike, 50mm deep sections and the standard giant wheels that came with the bike. Obviously I want to use the deep sections but considering the wind for Sunday will it be a stupid idea? I weigh around 63kg. Deep sections will be interesting.... I'd opt for standard wheels but thats just me
GoLefty!! Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 58kg rider will be on 404s and going nowhere slowly?
GaryvdM Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 You guys are making me nervous. Like jcza, I packed my bike on Sunday, with 50mm wheels. I am 95kg. Will I be ok?
JCA12 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Windguru reckons. South easter of 34 kph at 11 with 40 kph gusts. Should be a fun race. Ill be on my mtb with slicks so will be a long one.
G... Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 You guys are making me nervous. Like jcza, I packed my bike on Sunday, with 50mm wheels. I am 95kg. Will I be ok? Im not sure at 95kgs, will you be ok????
TALUS Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Mate, I am 92ish. Climbing is always a pain for us Clydesdales. Some irony though that the racing snakes (at last) has something to rattle their cage. I expect to be a bit more popular than usual on the flats going into the wind. I am taking my deep section ass... Starvin' Marvin 1

GaryvdM Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Im not sure at 95kgs, will you be ok???? Tell me about it. It's a killer on the hills.
DJpak Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Mine says.. simon's town is going to be 69kmh. 50mm? So dangerous....
G... Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Tell me about it. It's a killer on the hills. I started at 103kgs. Currently 84kgs from cycling. I remember your pain, tough on the climbs but super fast downhill. You will be fine on the hoops, just watch on Chappies decent and Suikerbossie Decent. Oh of course the start line for some reason the wind howls through that piece. andretraut 1
