LOOK695 Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 I'm going light, hope to sit in the bunch on the downhill for aero. Does 200g make a difference on hills when the pace is constant?
jcza Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Does 200g make a difference on hills when the pace is constant? I don't think much and if the heavier wheels are aero you'll gain it on the flats and downhills.
Edgar Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Jeez are you ones riding MTB cassettes? Its not the Alps, its Mpumalanga. What bunch Oomie? After you attack on the hill you'll have to go Solo to the finish.

Jay_B Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 What wheels are you guys using, as light as possible or deeper carbon wheels for the downhills My 50mm are lighter than my Alu by a long way so they staying on...
Patchelicious Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 My 50mm are lighter than my Alu by a long way so they staying on... Same this side. Use your lightest...
Bianchisti Posted July 14, 2015 Author Posted July 14, 2015 I'm going light, hope to sit in the bunch on the downhill for aero. Is there much wind to consider with deep sections?
jcza Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 How are the road surface? Tubbies or clinchers? Road surface in Nelspruit is excellent. On the Brondal road not so great. White River to Sabie is good and Sabie back to Nelspruit is very good. Check the forecast for wind

jcza Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Hasn't the Brondal road been fixed? Potholes filled but road surface is not great
LOOK695 Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Potholes filled but road surface is not greatAt least it is a short stage
