The Crazy German Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 @bridgeCPT: Interesting choice of machinery for Belgian Mathias Smet ... Fat tackies with internal gearing (in his rear hub)Wrong name that bike is mine and my Name is not Mathias. i believe Nathrix it was you that was once amased that I wanted to do to Hell and Back on Green slicks long ago.
The Crazy German Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 I wonder what type of tube he is going to use for the tyre wall cut that is imminent in the klein karoo ? He needs at least half a bottle of stans in there if it is tubeless ! Maybe he surprizes us all?Mix of sludge and natural latex a good 100ml of each for each tyre. It survived tests well lets hope it holds.
Meezo Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Wrong name that bike is mine and my Name is not Mathias. i believe Nathrix it was you that was once amased that I wanted to do to Hell and Back on Green slicks long ago.Not Mathias, i think to Nathrix defence he was commenting off the Bridge tweet stream. Nice bike btw, any more details on the build? Have you got spare tjoeps?
arendoog Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Mix of sludge and natural latex a good 100ml of each for each tyre. It survived tests well lets hope it holds.Keep us posted please .I did this event in 2012 so I know the route .I would like to know how much your bike weighs and your name so we can follow you on the web reports
The Crazy German Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Keep us posted please .I did this event in 2012 so I know the route .I would like to know how much your bike weighs and your name so we can follow you on the web reportsthe bike is 16,5 kg without bottles no lightweight build its made to be durable. The name of The Crazy German is a well kept secret on the Hub sadly. I have been sick for the last two days so there won't be much high speed progress to follow i am afraid.
The Crazy German Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Not Mathias, i think to Nathrix defence he was commenting off the Bridge tweet stream. Nice bike btw, any more details on the build? Have you got spare tjoeps?Its all a customs build still have to pack so sadl not too much time to elaborate. Its still very new su the Rohloff gear hub has not been ridden in yet. I just do Pioneer for scenery and to see some old mates. I have tubes I carry a 600gram one and a 250 gram lightweight one its most likely a waste of my energy to carry those. But reseating that tubeless setup can't be done on the trail. But as I am only cruizing weight is not that much of an issue.
