Zaskar

Send it in, or call Intelligent health and fitness and make a plan with them. It might be a headache from the Cape, but at over R300 a peice you dont want to void the warranty.

If i bought a Kona, i would want one of these... if

I read that his is going to be in that 'burnt orange' Ford Focus ST / Audi S3 colour, rather than black.

They used to make some really nice looking titanium frames. This was their website address - http://www.airborne.net/, but now i see that it has been removed??

I had a similar problem once on my Ksyrium SL's. After i had done a few rides on the IDT, the rims cracked where the spokes / nipples screw into the rim. Virtually every single drive side spoke was affected, some had cracks of around 1cm long and 1mm wide on each side of the nipple hole. Unfortunatly i didnt take any pics, got insurance to sort it out before i could. But if you want some pics of metal cracking, check out my Alien seatpost that broke during the 2006 Argus...

Ive ridden a few bikes equipped with SRAM, and i can honestly say they are by far the most comfortable levers i have ever held. So if thats the way Campagnolo are moving, it can only be a good thing!

Its the electronic version, so to downshift you just press the small button on the inside of the shifter.

Much the same wheels really, but i think the dimples on the Zipps give them the advatage over the Eastons. I dont know the new easton hubs (R4, if i remember correcly) but my Zipp 404 hubs used to come loose every few months. Also that little carbon seal on the zipps isnt the best at keeping water and grime out. If it was my money it would be a hard decision between the two, especially if i was buying new. I would probably go for the Zipps, just because they always seem to have a better re-sale value. I bought and sold my 404's here on the hub after 12 months without loosing anything on them. Keep looking here on the classifieds, because every month there are some deep sections for sale, and sometimes you can snap up a bargain.

Maybe you should try settle this in private first, before throwing it out into the open like this? Maybe it was an honest mistake, and he didnt realise it? Im sure if you speak to him he will agree to refund you.

Between Amateur and myself, we have 4 sets of Campag wheels, (Bora Ultra, Shamal Ultra, Eurus and Scirocco G3's) all with a mix of Campag Cassettes. I have ridden all the wheels on both my Chorus equipped Cannondale and my Shimano 105 equipped Scott and i have no problems what so ever. No problems with teeth spacing, or slipping gears, or chain lining up etc. Infact i think the chorus cassette works better on my 105 than any shimano casette has ever worked on that bike. I train on the Scott daily with the Sciroccos and i if there was a problem i think i would have found it. Maybe im just lucky, but it works for me!

What are you after, Road or mountain bike shoes / pedals? But for a first pair i would say go for the SPD type shoes and pedals.(Shimano Peddaling Dynamics). They are the easiest to learn to use, both clipping in and riding in, to walking around in the shoes when not on the bike. The soles are flexible and are not as stiff as pure carbon soled road shoes. Pedals i would say go for Shimano, but there are plenty of other brands that make SPD compatible pedals and cleats. Shimano have lasted me very well, im still riding my a pair of 520's that i bought in 1992. But look out for cheaper brands like Wellgo, Ritchey etc. Regarding sheoes, have a look at the Olympic Shoes, available at Sportsmans Warehouse. They are very good value, and from what i have heard are pretty good shoes. But there are lots of shoes on the market, so shop around. Hope that helps!

IDT, thats about as much as you can do. I know amateur was able to ride a few weeks after her op, so im sure you will be able to in a week or so. Just take it really easy, just to keep the legs turning.

Just saw it in the flesh, and wow its nice! Cyleart do a great job, hope you enjoy all the new bits!

Thats terrible news Chilli, hope you get well soon!

I must agree, i took this one for a quick spin at NF and was very impressed! I rode this and then straight away rode the same track on another (single pivot) full susser and the difference was like night and day. This frame stuck to the ground, and there was very little bounce when pedaling. If i was in the market for a full susser, this would definitly be on my short list!

Yeah my step dad is an attorney, and he often deals with RAF cases! Ewep mail me for more details!

Not good at all! Sorry to hear about this, and hope you are ok Bruce.

And not one girl wearing a helmet! But then i suppose they do have safe cycle lanes to ride in.

This the one you were telling me about? I must say it looks very nice!! What brand kit will it be?

Like Mampara says get a Gobi. I use mine on both my hardtail zaskar and my road bikes. Its nice and comfy, and very similar to the Arione. Using a road saddle off road may not be the best idea, ask Jules, he snapped his Arione in half a few months back in a mountain bike race!

who or what is Mrs. CS??? and what happened with your dream bike?

They look good, and should take some of the road vibration away, but they also add quite a bit of weight to the frame. In my opinion you are better off going for something like the hourglass seat stays on the Cannondales, that also eliminate vibration, but dont add the weight.
