Free chainsaw with every rental.

I have no knowledge of any rentals. He would be competing with dozens of others who harbor the same hope in an area with no demand for such bikes outside of a couple of events.

How windy are we talking for this course? Any issues with a jet9 front?

Port Elizabeth is known as the windy city so you never know. For IMSA last year, I subbed out my 80mm front wheel for a 45mm but it turns out I could have easily ridden the deep front. Based on only 1 week of experience there I would have called it the breezy city...and since they adjusted the first part of the course to go through town instead of along the coast, I would think that wind shouldn't be a problem. But who knows what it will be this Sep 1-2?

Thank you, that helps. I had a few pucker moments in Lubbock that have me second guessing, though that was steady 27 gusting 40

Does anybody have an idea how strict they'll be with regards to the swim wave seeding according to my AG? I just moved from 40-44 to 45-49 and while the former starts at 7:38, the later is supposed to start at 9:28, so much later and potentially a lot more wind on the course. Hypothetically: Would I get DQF if I just mix into the young 40-44 crowd?

In addition: Does anybody know when T1 will close for the bike setup? Will I essentially have to get my bike ready at 6am and then hang around for three hours before I am allowed into the water?

Yes. You will be DQ'd if you start in the wrong wave.

T1 will close shortly before the pro's start. So yes you will be waiting around.

No worries.

If I were you, I'd sneak into the Pro wave. Less windy AND cooler temps.

And drafting off Frodeno is probably super efficient - do they sell e-wetsuits? I mean, there are e-bikes, right? There's gotta be e-wetsuits!

this forum never disappoints
