As a cape virgin, how does the ride compare to the te urewera loop?

In what regard?

[Truenotch]

@Beaver day one will be a cake walk (mostly tar seal), day 2 is medium gravel and day 3 is the Motu. It's easier than Te Urewera, so bring something shit .

Just general punishment/butt shattering/technical difficulty etc. Marku has pretty much answered it for me so I'm happy as!

How many spokes? That may work. 

Standard 36 spoke wheel. They're a bit shit, but that's what this event is all about!

I'd try around for some 17's first, but feel free to use me as a last resort. I do know that the brake shoes are the same between the C50's and CB100's. So I'm assuming the hubs will work with those hub plates and axles?

Accommodation sorted for brent myself and oldrx7.

 

The excitement has really kicked in.

 

Need to get me a giant condom like @Mop Head wears in the rain to keep me super dry.

 

Also need to buy a motor bike so I can actually attend the event.

Ah yeah, this. 
 

I broke my bike doing 42 traverse a wee while ago, then just left it on the back of the Ute since then. It was growing some funky mould last I checked. 
 

Might finish the Suzuki Adly combo and roll that for max punishment. 

[Mop Head]

Yeeeeee I ain't coming. Have fun people. 

[Shakotom]

Life’s getting in the way of small bike stuff at the moment.

CG125 is there and works / just need a backpack , just dunno if I can commit eh
