[charltons]

I believe there's some injured riders floating around, maybe change your identity and take their spot.....................................just a thought.

Its a shame he's one of them!

 

[Jackstack]

Yeah, no one will recognize you're not Craig Gordon...

True........Mr. Enduropulse maybe?

Problem is I'm now one one the injured ones, new body parts didn't come today, surgery rescheduled for tomorrow.

Bugger. Did you go online or local for the parts?

It appears they misplaced some rather special bone screws,but hopefully by this time tmorrow I will be on the way to becoming bionic man.

but alas my LBS is struggling to source tubeless 29er tyres.

My preference would be...

You might need to tone down your expectations.

Continental have and extensive range and have variants of the Race King in "29er" and "29er". You might get lucky and your LBS may be able to order in a set of "29er" Race kings. Don't know about the others, but most of them also spec ranges in "29er" and "29er" tyre types.

Stans is your friend

Cheers

[Sumgy]

Maybe some Specialized 2Bliss??
I know that the Fast Traks are available in Australia as I had conversations with them about these recently.
Then again I have never had a problem with Ignitors or Crossmarks set up with Stans.

Not very much in 29er UST as far as I know (if that is what you are chasing).

...speaking of tubes.

I am riding a little bit new 29er...

I have Shitmano tubeless wheels

but alas my LBS is struggling to source tubeless 29er tyres.

Without tubeless i feel confident that stromlo will psssssssssssssssssssss me more than once.

Can anyone get there hands on something for me? Happy to give u cash when i see u

My preference would be

- race kings with snake skin (can u get them in white ;-))
- racing ralphs (errrr white?)
- block eights

happy to take suggestions on other tyres that would offer superb rolling. Just a reminder that its size 29er. Not 26.

Thanks a tonne!

can we keep it 24 specific please....sorry, there's enough to read in this thread without discussing tyre types... again

 

[bunchie34]

if this has already been mentioned, apologies, but geax do the saguaro and mezcal in 29" TNT versions which run tubeless just fine.

great fast rolling tyres both, just don't show either of them any mud!

 

[QZ13]

Didn't people stop using tubes about the same time they stopped wearing baby blue safari suits?

like this

adz, I'll check tomorrow at work for those 24 hour specific () crossmarks that are hanging on the wall, I'll pm ya if they're the droids you're looking for

 

[adz]

thanks Qz13

...ooops off topic again ;-)

There will be a "neutral" feed zone on top of the mountain - which means the riders get to see it twice per lap

It will have water plus some GUs for the solo riders. We are looking at transport options for getting some packs for riders up there - but not their helpers.

The only approved place for riders to get individual assistance from their helpers is in the Dyna Sys World Solo Pit Row.

Will a Broccoli and Custard feed zone be allowed?* It's important that international riders get an understanding of how things are done in Oz.



*I wouldn't want to hand broccoli out to people only to get them disqualified. In fairness it is there for EVERYONE and most would have sampled it at the Easter Solo Nationals.

Some of the BC Canadians are familiar with their obligations in the B+C feedzone, I explained it to them in detail while I lived over there (summary: the more you hurt the more you need)

Better check with these guys

(copied from the newsletter #12)The Australian Sports Anti Doping Authority (ASADA) may be at the race event. We don't know for certain if they will be there or not as the testing regime is random and is not notified to the organizers.

 

[Blingerific]

Just out of interest
Are they planning on allowing this track to stay in use after the race?

Stu

The new trail past the Observatory? No, it will be blocked off and rehabilitated. All other trails will remain.

Cheers!

Does the above statement mean we are not allowed to feed solo riders any where but the pit row and the top of the hill? Not even give them a gel at another point on the track?

Excuse my ignorance, just want to make sure we dont get it wrong on the day.

thanks

Not quite, the only place they can get assistance from their helpers is from the Pit Row. The "Neutral Support" at the top of the hill is the same help for everyone.

so some custard/broccoli connoisseurs need to get onto the neutral support team...
