Brighter-Lights Posted July 24, 2008 Author Posted July 24, 2008 I'm doing TB on this bike with the SID fork. Raced in Baviaans the weekend and I can tell you... the road is bad... Did baviaans kloof nature reserve mtb challenge. Day one from Heroncliff to geelhoutbos, day 2 geelhoutbos to heroncliff. 144km took me 6hr15. But day 2 coming back, took me 10 mins longer than 2007... when my back time was 2h52min for the 72km. Ok... coming from the Willomore side like in TB: Section past Geelhoutbos is quite bumpy at places... water levels low... Climbing grasnek = good surface. Descending to Doornkraal = good surface - could let go of the brakes. Doornkraal to Rooihoek... the first fang is no that bad.... but the second one is really bad... there's no way you'll get through there no with a low 4x2 - had to criss cross the climb - donga's From doodsklip the road is really bad and hard on you... the first mock climb up bergplaas is bad and technical... once on the climb up bergplaas it's not that bad... a few deep dongas but staying on the side is quite easy riding.... will be challenging at night.... Down Bergplaas to poortjies is very good, well... like it used to be... Some dongas but fast flying 90% of the time... Poortjies to kondomo is good... Will ride never ender the weekend and see what it is like...
calabash Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 That is a hell of a good looking bicyle!!! Better lock it up well.
Sean Badenhorst Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Two posts about the TB route, but only one bottle cage... I don't give a bike a second look unless it can carry two bottles.
Flea Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Thanks for the feedback BL - seems like we need a good set of lights for the downhills?
Brighter-Lights Posted July 24, 2008 Author Posted July 24, 2008 I always use one bottlle... even for K2C... I suppose the water crossings in Trans will still be 'clear and clean' when me and Wes get there :-P
Bikalot Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 but with the shock on you messed up your colour scheme must agree with you on the bottle cage thing sean!
nellie Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Once you've had black you'll never go back BL... Nah...i like my white bike... with a little bit of colour to break it:)...
