  1. wow,wow,wow Pantani, sorry he slipped my mind completely for some reason, what a climber what a tragedy But "do you even cycling"???????????? Pantani was '98 Ullrich was '97
  2. Can it be the testing? I have heard the french have one of the strictest tests and rules when it comes to doping . Statistics show Russia Italy and France have the highest numbers in Anti Doping Violations: • Countries with the most anti-doping rule violations worldwide | Statista so the more they test the more they catch ? When did an Italian win the TDF last except for 2014 Nibali
  3. if they show it live it should start at 12:40 for Women's race and 15:25 for the Men's race That's the times found at redbull TV
  4. there are some offers for very basic or beginners/ new bike set ups under R300. But mostly it's worth to have a full one done
  5. Google is your friend , if you want professional help look for a place that does online fitting for now and if it's in your area you can probably go there after the Virus has calmed down for a proper session
  6. I have been there at 12 on Sunday to make it back in time for F1 ????
  7. I am also interested in joining a ride here and there, have not done any of the mentioned ones yet
  8. Hi , I have a vintage bike which is about 90 years old . Got some info that it is either from the late 20's or early 30's It says Pantherwerke on the plaque. Any collectors with more knowledge ? Anyone interested ? I am willing to sell due to relocation
  9. 2 liter spray bottle with 3 drops of dish washing liquid and then hose it down works like a charm for me
  10. I have seen a advert from Mannies bike mecca on his FB page for a Westair special. No idea if it's a good deal but here is the link: https://www.facebook.com/manniesbikemecca/posts/4880204372004506
  11. I think Meezo took grip mounting to the next level. At a certain point of doing a back flip the logo is level , look at the photos later
  12. had some assos, vermark , pearl izumi, giordana… but since the latest addition will nit touch them. its a 4mm thin padded bib from sqlab
  13. sounds very interesting but is it just 10 high passes or why is Sani pass (2867m) not on the list ?
  14. There are also some 35 degree stems around (adjustable ones are not really for offroad use) or riser bars with up to 3-4cm of rise
  15. i am very surprised that these decals are drawn by hand. I always thought they are all stickers ???
  16. I missed the big screen and live stream at the showground
  17. read this in a satiric magazine it's too funny : Fontenay-le-Comte (dpo) - What a sporting achievement! Austrian cycling pro Fritz Gauhuber (27) is the only undoped rider to complete the 201 kilometer first stage of the Tour de France. He is thus only ten days behind the peloton. Gauhuber, who initially collapsed completely exhausted and had to be treated medically, is now on the road to recovery. "I am very proud of my performance, for which I have been training hard for years," said the athlete a few hours later, still completely out of breath and shaken by convulsions. "Many say that it is impossible to get through the Tour de France without any doping, and I can tell all of them that at least the first of 21 stages is quite possible. Still completely exhausted from the 201 km: Gauhuber, who drives without sponsors, because no one wants to support a loser, also reports how hard the tour can be without doping: "At the sections where normally doped riders sprint for the mountain classification, it was sometimes so steep that I sometimes had to push my bike. Of course, this is really good on the calves, "said the fair athlete. In return, however, he had much more time to enjoy the beautiful landscape. As soon as Gauhuber, who after all received the so-called "clean jersey" for his services, has recovered completely, he wants to make the second leg from Mouilleron-Saint-Germain to La Roche-sur-Yon (182.5 km). Presumably, the race is over for the rest of the riders - either because they've tested positive for doping or because they have reached their destination after 3535 kilometers.
  18. Don't forget about the speed ​ok it's a high speed for a MTB but it's almost 5%saving in watts output, how much would it be at 25 km/h ? ​i found this on the internet: SQlab Study on Wind Resistance An internal study by SQlab on the track has shown that test riders with their hands on the inner bar ends were able to cover the same distance in the same time at 14 watts less. 10 test runs were each conducted at the track at a constant speed of 36 km/h. To precisely log the watt values, two power meters – provided by the company SRM – were used. On average, the riders had to muster up 293 watts without inner bar ends and 279 watts with them.
  19. tested them (SQLab) and must say i was very sceptical , but with rather wide handlebars they are amazing , it's a very comfortable more aerodynamic position for your arms, elbows and hand. tested them even on a freerider and use them on the flat stretches and not so steep uphills
