Thermophage Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 No. It is enduro. It says so on the tittle and has the same colours on the logo as the EWS stuff so it's proper #enduro. So you need to kit up. Goggles, MX kit, pads & armour, all colour coordinating and because it's enduro you need a Fox 36 (or pike minimum) and as much travel as possible. Anything less than 150mm and you'll be putting your life on the line. Forget geometry or sense you just need to get as much travel in because you can never have 'too much bike' in #enduro. Short travel trail bike? Forget what the makers have designed, the hard thought out R&D and just strap more travel front and back as you can. If it's got #enduro on the cover then you know it's not that xc bermfest. This is different Tygerberg, this is #enduro tygerberg.You spelled Tygerberm wrong Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1
Jewbacca Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 You can fall anywhere anytime.As evidence by the numerous almost KIA's at Hoogies. Rather wear protection kids.I also meant so much kit for an XC trail and a 4:15...... Meezo 1
Thermophage Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 I also meant so much kit for an XC trail and a 4:15...... So because you ride slow you don't need pads?Not quite sure how you're trying to take the piss here? OR better, WHY or even IF you are.
capediver Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 If the weather is anything like the last couple of days, its going to be a sweatfest...there is no wind on the back of that hill and it cooks under the baking sun!! Eddy Gordo 1
Eddy Gordo Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 I rode there saturday afternoon. Gave the cobra a miss and headed to the car. The back of the hill was extremely hot and the front(table mountain side) was extremely windy.
Mambat Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 Muishond, maybe?? Nooooooooooooo........... Serious question though?? Can an e-Bike enter... I looked on their entry page and doesn't state otherwise....
capediver Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 Nooooooooooooo........... Serious question though?? Can an e-Bike enter... I looked on their entry page and doesn't state otherwise....If they had a separate category, don't see why not...would be unfair to compete in same category/class as non-ebikes tho'...maybe iRide Africa can shed some light....

Dan Dob Posted April 5, 2018 Author Posted April 5, 2018 Nooooooooooooo........... Serious question though?? Can an e-Bike enter... I looked on their entry page and doesn't state otherwise....No E-Bike category I'm afraid. CSA expressly forbids E-Bikes on the same course at the same time and we are operating under their rules.

Imagine an EWS round at Hoogies. I mean that would just enduro my mind. I'm bringing my hard tail. Duane_Bosch and Dan Dob 2
