  1. Drill holes in your cranks...
  2. The carbon crank never made it into production as it cost too much to produce for the weight saving over the new 7900 cranks...

    Tubes?

    Tyres only puncture when you ride over stuff that you're not supposed to... besides when a tyre goes flat its only flat at the bottom...
  4. Shamus has put it out there,and he has put the technical side to it, But I have run wire bead and foldables as tubeless with no issues. But I have had issues fitting various tyres (wire and fold) to different rims...
  5. Why modify an already light thing to make it lighter? I'm not saying it can't done but its a lot of effort to modify, rather put the effort into training to carry the 2.5grams that you're gonna save...
  6. Hey man maybe he got a discount from his cousin

    Virtual mod

    Those wheels would never work with so few spokes... whats the idea behind the triple clamp fork? add weight? Bar ends on a bike with a triple clamp?- not cool (bar ends in general not cool) The bike looks like its a four inch travel bike so a triple clamp is overkill... Just my 2c
  8. Beatiful but no lefty...I know to find a good 2nd hand one is nigh impossible, but I think to have a 'Dale you must have a lefty...Just my2c
  9. Just do like the old days and drill holes in your cranks...
  10. I know theres an old colnago hanging up in the workshop at coolheat, all orginal with campy stuff...no one really knows the story behind it therefore not keen to sell...but I also know they have a few retro parts lying around in their warehouse-purple vuelta chainrings for example...as well as very old GT frames from when they bought in GT...
  11. Whats wrong with the standard ones?
  12. Bumpity bump
  13. Some tunes sound like they were taken off a porn set...

  17. Jeez I want another star, I've been a domestique now for too long!
  18. Specialized Stumpjumper comes to mind..
  19. Strong, Light Cheap pick two...
  20. I had no congestion from my couch...But seriously, its become a fact of every race and unless you're in the top 30 or so places its horiffic! and the problem is that every race operates on their own idea of a seeding system so one weekend you are racing A cat the next you get put in E...
  21. Get hold of rob@cyclesafrica.co.za he's the owner of Cycles Africa and they are based in CT...they moved from Jozi a few months back...
  22. Very cool man, But I prefer the black model...no offence just personal preference...BUT Very cool bike!!!
  23. Schweeeet
  24. Yes you could, just find one that is close to the broken one, you never know you might find one that is exactly the same, try going into the bike shop with the broken one and say you want one like that. Most shops won't bother looking unless its for a brand they know. For example a Raliegh RC 3000 dropout fits an entry level Bianchi frame...I have done it before...
  25. Get rid of the thudbuster...Wider bars give more control and stability, and I agree with Mampara, carbon is overrated, alu bars are generally lighter for the same price...
