Jbr Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) Gonna have to go check those trails on the Lefty now that I don't have an enduro bike anymore.. I was kind of hoping for a Hoogekraal stage rather than conties The revised bit will be a bit scary with only 100mm travel That's if I don't do the DC anyways.... Edited October 22, 2020 by Jbr
MORNE Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 I need a fork for my hardtail!! Want to join in this fun. Classifieds have been barren the last few weeks in that regard. Anyway, soon hopefully.

Yyyy Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) what are the rules regarding dress code? Do you have to go full enduro kit (full face helmet, pads and baggies) or can you do this this in roadie lycra and normal helmet Edited November 10, 2020 by YaseenEnos
Headshot Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 what are the rules regarding dress code? Do you have to go full enduro kit (full face helmet, pads and baggies) or can you do this this in roadie lycra and normal helmet FF helmets are not mandatory but a decent trail helmet is always a better bet than a roadie inspired XC lid. I would not consider doing a race like this in lycra simply because if you do fall, its not going to offer much protection. Think about pulling a pair of thicker board or nylon hiking shorts over the lycra. I always wear kneepads, full finger gloves, baggies and long sleeves unless its very warm. Because its racing, you do tend to push harder and as you tire on a run mistakes happen. I wore thinner than normal knee pads on a race once and suffered painfully when I crashed...

Robbie Stewart Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 what are the rules regarding dress code? Do you have to go full enduro kit (full face helmet, pads and baggies) or can you do this this in roadie lycra and normal helmet only if the bike fits the dress-code...
Christofison Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 I risked it last year with no knee-pads, only because I couldn't afford any at the time. Thankfully I managed to keep the rubber on the ground, but it was scary. Those rocks at Conties are pretty sharp.
