Jy move met n ride report as jy eers begin!
Epic, en groot dankie vir die deel.
Hoe het die 1290's gedoen? Sover nog nie te wild tegnies gewees nie.

Die twee manne op 1290s het baie goed gery, maar ook op plekke harde klippe gekou met die groot fietse. Op hierdie stadium was die trip maar eintlik nog baie maklik, sand hier en daar wat hulle vasgevat het. Later het dit bietjie moeiliker gegaan....

And then the shit hit the fan......
We came across a long section of black mud. At first it was fun with Mark and I musing about the black mud being thrown metres into the air by the back and front wheels. Then I was alone all of a sudden and as I eventually slid to a standstill I noticed the rest of the group a few hundred metres behind me. I turned around and rode back to the group.
Every single 990, except myself and Antony had clogged up with mud and broken their front fender.....

Fenders were removed and strapped to luggage and we were off again…

Chose an idiotic route instead of following Mark and got properly stuck !

how did your fender survive the mud? That thing looks very close to the tire?

Not sure, but I have a much narrower front rim with D606 tyre which does chuck off mud easier I think. I also sped up when I felt the mud building and might have gotten rid of some of the build up
