Ferro Posted September 1, 2017 Share If i had a sub 9kg HT i would probably give it a go. My HT nowhere near that so might as well take the DS and try shed some weight in the next 3 weeks Andrew_Smith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bj horn Posted September 1, 2017 Share Ooo looking forward to the replies on this, also need to make a choice, but mine not so much a sub 9. So not a weight thing as a gearing thing. got a 3X10 on my hard tail and a 2X10 on dual sus3x10 ht & trap hom op afdraand, scary stuff on a 9 kg bike Rouxenator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rouxenator Posted September 3, 2017 Share I only ride HT (real bikes). Done my first few on cheap 3x8 GT 29er. My fastest was last year on a 2x10 Silverback. This year I'll be back on the Silverback but it is now 1x10, slick (worn) tyres and tekkies with flat pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rouxenator Posted September 4, 2017 Share If my Saturday ride is anything to go by then I should be able to ride down to Knysna, then back to Uniondale and then back down half way. Lovely training ride this Transkaroo thing. Dexter-morgan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patchelicious Posted September 4, 2017 Share After the rain damage a few years ago , the jeep track on way down the WaPad was pretty sketchy, HTs might be a bit touch n go. Personally, I wouldn't do this ride on a HT. Robbie Stewart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rouxenator Posted September 4, 2017 Share Nonsense, unless that was before 2011, but since then I rode all of them and it is perfectly fine on a hard tail. Unless you are a pensioner, then you might want to opt for easy mode on a duelly. Patchelicious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie Stewart Posted September 4, 2017 Share Hopefully I can get dragged by someone Sweeper-truck? I say this tongue in cheek, since on a couple occasions I have been tempted to hook onto the back and see how far up the hill they would take me...
