Thermophage Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 It would have been carnage if most of us on this fred tried to ride todays stage.Yes, but not because of the technical difficulty. Just because we're not interested in the physical fitness required for tolerating that level of pain for so long
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Yes, but not because of the technical difficulty. Just because we're not interested in the physical fitness required for tolerating that level of pain for so long And in this heat

Andrew Steer Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Myles, I am sure you just forgot to use the font... or were you seriously giving Christoph Sauser pointers on his tyre selection for the Cape Epic??? A guy who does more mileage on these very trails in a week than you do in a year, at way higher speeds etc. Yes, they got a puncture, but wholly balls pal, he's probably put more thought into tyre selection for this event than most people put into choosing their wife. We did an article on him a few years back, he tested tyres for weeks over various tracks, checking time splits, durability etc - he's not just an animal on the bike, he's an OCD one off it too. He knows exactly what the tyres can handle, what their strengths are, their weaknesses, and he's weighed them all up and made a very informed choice. We should just look on with respect and enjoy, these guys are not from this planet
Robbie Stewart Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 A saddle bag at Epic??? Don't get Ben start talking about bar ends with riser bars.... And if your name is Karl Platt and you have won this comp 5 times before with bar ends?
TALUS Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 In completely different news. Sadly (an Egyptian, I think) competitor passed away at the African Track Champs in Durbs today. RIP.
