milky4130 Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Quite a stacked field. Its going to be a fast one!All of a sudden that Mania Race looks more appealing to me now
milky4130 Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 I actually have a photo I took on the 28th of April at 7:04. This is from my garden looking at Helderberg mountain. I adjusted the colours a bit to give a better idea of the light in the garden but now the sky looks a bit brighter than it actually was. DSC_0271.jpgAaah indeed you are right. I see the start times has been adjusted now, thanks to you

Had my tubeless done about a month ago, so should be fine???? Not to many punctures since then. PS. what extra measures can one make for extreme cases when tubless puncture, bar Samurai Sword.
Cookie88 Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 how recent is recent?When was the last top up?Did you puncture since fitting them?Recent being last week, done about a 100km since then and no punctures so holding thumbs...
TheHubaHuba Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 how recent is recent?When was the last top up?Did you puncture since fitting them? How often ie. months/kms would be advisable to do top-ups?

If you see them in your tyre just dont remove them as they seal the whole if they still in the wheel.
lerouc Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 How often ie. months/kms would be advisable to do top-ups? depends on how many punctures you get. Shake the wheel side to side and listen if you can hear it. If not top up otherwise if you had a few punctures just take it down to your shop and ask them to check.
milky4130 Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 How often ie. months/kms would be advisable to do top-ups?lots of factors to take into consideration, heat/temperature, how often does the bike stand, punctures but generally every 1-2 months I'd say.
TheHubaHuba Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 lots of factors to take into consideration, heat/temperature, how often does the bike stand, punctures but generally every 1-2 months I'd say. Thanks for the advice guys! Now looking forward to Sat
