I have Specialized Roval DT Swiss Carbon wheels. I agree that its preference

Ok, i prob missed a few discussions on this topic, but what is people view? For both options i will either need to get a Microslpine Hub, or XD driver for the Sram... I like Shimano...but people say stay away??

I have checked the entries a week ago, and not a lot of people riding the race? Why? Any ideas?

Got a Scott Spark 910, got it in April 2013. Other than that, thats the only issues...

I AGREE, MY BIKE GETS SERVICED AT A GOOD LBS, AND THEY REPLACED THE BB. THE BB PULLS OUT OFF THE FRAME AND THEN U CAN PUSH IT BACK BY HAND, WHICH IS NOT CORRECT... YES PIVOTS IS IMPORTANT, AND I DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MINE, RODE IT FOR A YEAR ON SAME BEARINGS, CHANGED IT A MONTH BEFORE J2C

they didnt have shocks when shocks bombed out after MONTH OR SO HAVING THE BIKE, SO THEY REPLACED THE FRAME WITH BACK SHOCK...

Just wondering how many people have problems with the Scott Sparks. I had problems with the shocks, rear and front. The BB gets worn out, in other words the frame wears out. Its a awesome bike, and rides like a dream. Scott have exchanged my frame x 3 times, with no issues, and the 4th one is on the way. Whats the hubs thoughts? Shocks stuffed again, but is it worth it to put Rp23 with CTD on and front schock with CTD to remove lockout lever(broke 2 and ist pricey to replace)

We are having too many cyclists affected by road accidents. Roadies, MTB's whatever in silent protest and to raise awareness. I know there are a lot of proposals for Burry memorial rides, but let's follow the right procedures and get official approvals. This event has been approved and rubber stamped to ensure safety and max exposure because we want to send out a message. We will finalise the route and safety plans this week on Wednesday. We are going big. Netcare and ER24 as well as Emergency Services, Fire Engines, Traffic Department are on board. We now need the pro riders and the masses. The support is huge. Spread the word... The event will start in the Park next to Key West Mall at 08h00, 12 January 2013. The route starts at Key West, down Viljoen and right onto Paardekraal; left onto Coronation; left onto Main Reef; left onto Barret; left onto Voortrekker and back to Key West (13km). From there the longer route continues up Cecil Knight; left onto Robert Broom; right onto Sterkfontein Road down the hill; right onto Sterkfontein Caves road; left onto Rhino & Lion Park Road; right onto Kloofzicht Road; right onto Avianto road (30km).

And i dont know if usn works for me Now people is recomending 32GI or Biogen and FIT. I cant use anything thats spikes, what is the best product?

Thtats what im saying, but im almost the only 1 in our group with a 26er, and they kill me at some places on rides, so everyine says its because of the big wheels

i I am more a marathon/stage race rider, scott and specialised is most common....

I have a Scott 26er Spark 30 Carbon. I want the 940 but its alu. Love the colours but just the weight.... So it feels that to go for alu after u had a Carbon, feels like downgrade!!! And my 26er weighs just under 11kg, now i have to get a 29er wwhich weighs 12kg!!!

Im in to buy myself a 29er? My budget is 30k but can go a bit higher. I need a large. I were looking at the following : Scott 920 @ 12.1kg @ 31k Scott 940 @ 12.6kg @ 21k Specialised Camber @ 12.7kg @ 31k I cant decide on what to get!!!!! Any advice help????

Thanx Guys, i have treid all of the above and it is going better. Went to a physio and said rest, so i rested 3 weeks, but with no cure, did setup again, but pain still exsists no as much anymore but i can still feel it. Getting a roller this weekend quick. Wants to get in at Jeroen Swart but how? I prob overtrained it for Transbaviaans, and now is paying for it. i fell 6 weeks before Trans and hurt my inside muscle(around the knee) but went for physio and injections and kept training. After Trans the inside muscles is ok, but now outside is a problem. So now physio said i must go for injections again, maybe it will sort it out.

I have checked the setup a couple of times. Everyone said Jeroen Swart is the best, but how do u get in by him?

Thanx man, doing that strecth everyday now, will c how it goes.

Looking for help or any info. Im having incredibly bad pain on my left ITB. It started suddenly. What exercises can i do, must i strap it, setup......?
