Headshot Posted March 9, 2020 Share Good luck Max! That bike is the enemy of the cycle industry which annually expects a massive spend on drivetrain and suspension components both before and after the Epic Spend, I mean race.

Waxhead Posted March 10, 2020 Share He did Tankwa? How did you find the monster? I did it about 4 years ago on a SS. Had to walk that hill. Well most of it.That was a beast of a hill, could not do all of it on the bike and walked/shuffled/ran most of it. I did Imbuko a few weeks ago and that was insane - 3000 elevation over 77km with average speed of 10km per hour! Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
