http://bikemag.com/features/onlineexclusive/GT-2008-Engelberg/index1.html 6-14-07 // Online Exclusive: GT Unveils 2008 Bikes http://bikemag.com/features/onlineexclusive/Zaskar-Web.jpg Although the new frame is made completely of carbon, GT didn?t forget its roots and the Zaskar retains the company?s distinctive triple triangle design. Celebrating its twentieth anniversary, the Zaskar receives a new, all-carbon frame. This hardtail tips the scales at just 20.8 pounds, yet remains incredibly stiff. In addition to the carbon frame, the bike also receives a longer fork this year?100 millimeters compared to 80?and wider, 2.0-inch tires. A full LX bike costs $2,300, while the XTR Team model retails for about $4,000. http://bikemag.com/features/onlineexclusive/Marathon-Web.jpg By going to an carbon rear triangle, GT shaved more than 150 grams from the 4-inch-travel Marathon. The new rear end can be retrofitted to last year?s bikes. Another new model, replacing the iD-4 Carbon, is the Marathon 4-inch-travel XC rig. For 2008, the bike will have a carbon fiber swing arm, which replaces the aluminum rear triangle of the iD-4. The bike weighs 24.8 pounds and is being ridden on the World Cup by GT?s top racers, including Todd Wells. http://bikemag.com/features/onlineexclusive/DH1-Web.jpg ?Not every downhiller can afford a $5,000 bike,? said GT?s Mark Peterman. To please gravity racers on a budget, GT developed the DHi-Pro model. The bike shares the same frame as the team model but costs just $3,349. Finally, the company made a few tweaks to its DHi downhill bike. Changes include a reinforced swingarm and headtube, as well as a redesigned carbon seatmast that has a few weight-saving cutouts. GT will also offer a lower-cost version this year, the DH1-Pro Model, which runs about $3,349 and weighs 44 pounds. ?It uses the same frame as our team model, but is built for the downhill racer that doesn?t have $5,500 to spend on a bike,? said GT?s Mark Peterman. Four days is barely enough time toget to know a bike, but some of the models?like the Marathon?immediately felt spot on. And while the town of Engelberg is still developing a mountain bike culture, the trails here?all originally built for hikers?offered a prime proving ground. With relentlessly steep terrain, a half dozen gondolas strung throughout the valleys and an active, mountain bike friendly population, watch for Engelberg to continue to grow as a mountain bike playground. And watch for further reviews of GT?s latest bikes in Bike magazine and on bikemag.com. narra2007-07-19 07:29:56

By the way Slowjoe, Joss that also posted on this thread, is the guy that I spoked about, for you Felt. narra2007-07-19 05:49:26

Can not wait for the new Felt range. But at least I do have time to think of excuses to tell my wive

The 2007 range was highly developed, but it could be criticized for falling behind big brands Scott and Specialized and falling short of the technical innovations of smaller companies such as BMC and C?rvelo. The engineering design team have realised this, and throughout product launches and shows last year they hinted at major changes for 2008. Well here they are. and this is in no way cosmetic. Each range has been thoroughly overhauled from the ground up. Race bikes HoC Frames (Hors Category) Bianchi's HoC 928's are at the pinnacle of the range with race bred geometry, light carbon being the order of the day. The HoC Carbon 928 SL UD now sits atop the composite race bikes with an all new high modulus uni-directional carbon monocoque design. Nano Nano The carbon itself is of the Nano-tech variety (ala Easton and BMC) re-sculpted low weight drop outs and a new oversized BB shell to improve stiffness throughout the transmission. The frameset's tubing is reworked with a triangulated top tube which flows into a more ovalised box section at the seat tube, this flows into the seat stays - a la specialized's Tarmac and Wilier's Cento. The downtube starts in a more conventional round section but increases in diameter and ovalizes at the reworked BB area. All these design tweaks combined with the new material and the dropping of the 12k weave outer layer of previous incarnations has given the 928 SL UD a very competitive weight of just 900g (55cm). Combined with a new 300g SL fork, this is a seriously lightweight chassis. The test bike we rode in the Bergamo hills (specced with Campag's Chorus and Zonda wheels) came in at a complete weight of a touch over 7 kilos/15.4 pounds - light enough in anyone's book, and remember this is no superbike component spec, more what most of us would use day to day. http://mos.bikeradar.com/images/bikes-and-gear/in-depth/2007/bianchi-launch/bianchi_2-480-70.jpg Ride light Aboard the 928 the first thing you notice is the weight, this is one light bike. Climbing on the 928 felt nimble and quick, and out of the saddle stomps up steep sections were remarkably free of any stresses. No wandering, no flex, just forward motion. Once the climbs had been conquered, descending felt planted and in out of the saddle sprints, quick direction changes were instant and without drama. This tester would have preferred a wider bar, even though the 42cm Deda Campione has a great traditional bend and nicely oversized diameter, but that's a small niggle. I had no expectations of comfort as bikes of this ilk are usually all about efficient transmission of power and can lead to a rather harsh and eyeball shaking ride over rough surfaces, so I was pleasantly surprised at the comfort level of the 928 SL. It's not quite in the league of a titanium bike or, for that matter a Time VXR, but it's certainly much better over harsher surfaces than most of the US bikes I've tried and those from the other big Italian marques. http://mos.bikeradar.com/images/bikes-and-gear/in-depth/2007/bianchi-launch/bianchi_3-480-70.jpg http://mos.bikeradar.com/images/bikes-and-gear/in-depth/2007/bianchi-launch/bianchi_4-480-70.jpg Bianchi will also continue to offer the Aluminium FG Lite C (It a racers favourite in Italy) with its exclusive Hyperalloy construction (a mix of alu, magnesium and with Bianchi's patented structural foam injection (which increases the strength of the frame)) http://mos.bikeradar.com/images/bikes-and-gear/in-depth/2007/bianchi-launch/bianchiweb_woz002-480-70.jpeg B4P The B4P has a new bonded T-Cube design carbon frame, which uses a more conventional tube construction as opposed to the monocoque HoC. The T-Cube design eliminates the use of lugs and therefore the B4P for 2008 has seen a significant drop in frame weights - down to the kilo mark for a 55cm model. The new oversized BB design (similar to the HoC) has increased the stiffness by 25 percent over the previous model. http://mos.bikeradar.com/images/bikes-and-gear/in-depth/2007/bianchi-launch/bianchiweb_woz004-480-70.jpeg S9 Matta The B4P range is topped by this beautifully sandblast-finished 3al/2.5v titanium beauty, double butted ti throughout with reparto corse specific profile tubing. For safety's sake the tubing is completed with the patented structural foam injected core. Be individual Also in the Reparto Corse range of Bianchi bikes is a fully custom option. Bianchi Individual offers carbon bikes (the T-Cube process on the B4P range) in any geometry you require, even offering the opportunity to dial in your own personal characteristics of the material (stiffness or comfort). http://mos.bikeradar.com/images/bikes-and-gear/in-depth/2007/bianchi-launch/bianchiweb_woz005-480-70.jpeg The B4P range starts with the 1885 series a triple butted hydroformed aluminium frame with all new high modulus carbon fibre seat stays and smooth quality weld finishing throughout. C2C This is fast becoming Bianchi's most popular race range with its relaxed sportive derived geometry and supple ride characteristics its certainly an excellent choice for the distance rider. http://mos.bikeradar.com/images/bikes-and-gear/in-depth/2007/bianchi-launch/bianchiweb_woz007-480-70.jpeg The range topping 928 carbon C2c is as with the HoC's a fullmonocoque design using a mixture of HM carbon, combined with high strength carbon and a more elastic Kevlar composite used on the fork and seat stays. It works with the Kevlar fork and seat stays to give an incredibly smooth ride. The only bike that's come close is Specialized's excellent S-Works Roubaix with its Zertz inserts, although in this rider's opinion, the Bianchi offered a greater balance of comfort and stiffness. Let's go off road! http://mos.bikeradar.com/images/bikes-and-gear/in-depth/2007/bianchi-launch/camos-480-70.jpg Oetzi carbon Bianchi introduced the carbon monocoque Oetzi just 3 years ago and for '08 it's had a radical upgrade. It now uses the same Nano tech carbon as the HoC road machines, has a redesigned seat stay and BB, but still retains its v-brake bosses for the lightweight freaks. High impact resistant carbon is used in areas that can have potential impacts (downtube, chainstays etc) but the use of the HM Nano material keeps the weight down to a very respectable 1.2kg for the frame. http://mos.bikeradar.com/images/bikes-and-gear/in-depth/2007/bianchi-launch/bianchiweb_woz014-480-70.jpeg http://mos.bikeradar.com/images/bikes-and-gear/in-depth/2007/bianchi-launch/bianchiweb_woz015-480-70.jpegCamos The all new Camos full sus XC/Marathon machine is an all new concept for Bianchi. With an HM carbon front-end mated to an alu dual pivot rear, the Camos also features Carbon dual spring chainstays. These stays are profiled into a thin slither of material which acts as a leaf spring providing 80mm of travel (all perfectly controlled with a DT airshock). The chainstay assembly can be removed, flipped and reattached using the 5 Allen head mount points. This alters the characteristics from soft and supple to a stiffer, more resistant feel. The two prototype test rigs available were set up in both configurations and there was a marked difference between the two. The all-up weight of the Camos frame of 2.4kg and a complete bike (in XT/LX) build of 13kg (28lbs) make this a real contender for the coming year. http://mos.bikeradar.com/images/bikes-and-gear/in-depth/2007/bianchi-launch/bianchiweb_woz017-480-70.jpeg http://mos.bikeradar.com/images/bikes-and-gear/in-depth/2007/bianchi-launch/bianchiweb_woz052-480-70.jpeg Back to topEmail to a friend

I think you need a specific version of the software ? Do not know ?

What group was the HiQ guys. I joined Cedar at Uranium(Car Dealership), looked back and saw a group and looked in front of me and saw a group. Not part of CycleLab but do ride sometimes with them for a bit of the way.

That is Polar SW

Did you ride on Saturday ? With the guys from HiQ and cyclelab, I think ?

Hi Marktd I stay in Craigavon Would like to join you one of these days but is racking up the km's at the moment Jinx, my wive need to get into the thing again and I will ask her But please let me know when you hit +- 100 km. Got some nice routes that I can show you narra

with red barlow world kit awesome

hippie

Thanks for helping me right

I meant that in a good way

Thanks for all the comments and advice I like you idea ALamb BikeMax, I know all about you guys I only have power on my indoor trainer (Fortius) and not on my road bike. Can I incorporate power training during the week and leave it out for the Long Ride ? My wive is not going to let me get an PT soon, I bought the trainer. I also am thinking of doing maybe 3 interval sessions a week, power based maybe ? But know I might be looking at getting a coach Because my time is so limited and I want to make the best use of it, and I want to be the best I can be:) slowjoe, dankie vir die link. sal nog lees. As jy dink ek is vinnig dan moet jy die ander hubbers sien. Lyk asof ek stil staan Die manne is vinnig en sterk

Morning 5:00 am and then again after the kids is in bed at round about 19:30 . Sunday is difficult, and it is winter so you can't actually go for a early ride

Howdy loyal hubbers Question ? I am busy putting a training plan together and do not know how to split my sessions. I do have some ideas but I do not know what will be the best for me. Mon - Rest Tue - Intervals + 1 Hour ride Wed - 1:30 - 2:00 ride Thu Intervals + 1 Hour ride Fri - 1:30 - 2:00 ride Sat - Long Ride Sun - 1 Hour ride - Family day So my problem is on Tue and Thu. I do have time to do between 1:00 - 2:00 in the evenings on these days with the intervals in the mornings. Will it help or should I rather just do the intervals and recover ? That means only the intervals and nothing else on that day ? What intensity should the rides on Wed and Fri be ? Any ideas ? Thanks narra narra2007-07-12 02:36:08

There is no mentioning in the "Terms & Conditions" or at the registering process that your information will be kept private So Admin can pretty much do what he want with your info, the posts you make and the pole's you take part in. Just let me know if I am not right

tooHot, you riding this weekend, want to join you then we can talk k@k the entire ride Can even convince Pantani to come with, he is well rested after his holiday at Durbs
