Swart Kat Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Last I checked, that was a MTB groupset, right? Isn't the whole point to ride it off road?Then you havent done a lot of riding in mud yet? Go try it......
LazyTrailRider Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Last I checked, that was a MTB groupset, right? Isn't the whole point to ride it off road? Last I checked, an X01 cassette retailed for R3.5k. Isn't the whole point to not unnecessarily waste money? If you haven't ridden in properly muddy conditions, you wouldn't know that a single outing in the wet can destroy half the lifespan of a cassette. We'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you haven't.
Cookie88 Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Anyone having trouble with the PPA website this afternoon?
Marius Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 my drive train - chain-front blade and cassette replacement was R6k - more than my freakin car service so definitely trying hard to avoid the muddy races. But the rain looks like it'll stay away, yeeha!
Aaron_B Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Last I checked, that was a MTB groupset, right? Isn't the whole point to ride it off road? Yes, off-road. Not in mud. What's the point? Clearly you have far too much money to waste.

Also, I guess the enjoyment of riding outweighs the cost factor for me. I'll be on the start line regardless of the weather this weekend. Each to their own, I guess...
freakonaleash Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Besides, I'm looking forward to trying this out...
Karen Lottering Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 will there be shower facilities available after the race???
paarlmtb Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Any chance of a profile for the two longer routes? Need to see suitability for SS

New Landy new life Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Signed up for the 70 - think my brain switched off for a second there and I think I clicked the wrong distance on the web-entry - oh well.......HKGK
Marius Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Ok, looks like the rain will stay away..., I'm entering for the 70km
BrandonF_ Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Record time off the bike right before a race, two weeks,..as if the 70km wont be enough suffering already í ½í¸£
