  1. 1 or 2k, never. At least 3,5k
  2. Samsung S4. On a plane to Thailand
  3. Why not just rent a road bike? I'm sure someone in CT will be able to rent you one?
  4. Good luck IanJ. Hope Emily makes it through the pain and suffering.
  5. Hi Gary. Womans specific bikes are precisely what it states. Narrower handlebars, shorter stem, easier gears, woman specific seat and shorter cranks. But most woman fits perfectly onto any sized bike. The problem with woman specific bikes are that their aren't many of them and they are more expensive than normal bikes. If its pink, rather get something else...
  6. What a joke
  7. Did you pay for the shirts?
  8. My advice, try and take it apart yourself, if all else fails, take it to your LBS with all the parts and let them fix it Youtube will have a couple of vids on this, but if you do try and take it apart yourself, golden rule - Don't force anything open.
  9. I will never give up my spare tube again for a guy riding unprepared in a race. Like you said from now on I will always help if it does not cost me anything. It puts my own race at risk if I needed a tjoop or link etc. Last time I did give up my tube and the only bomb I had left, and the guy could not even wait for me after the race to say thank you or offer to replace it.
  10. +1, I sometimes wonder how the hell people can go and ride a 75km race without any spares? I understand the occasional newby getting a flat and don't know what to do. But I will always stop and ask if the guy/girl needs help
  11. Simple mense. Glad you got help! I always ride with a couple of plugs to seal sidewall cuts if I ride alone. It's mos Argus season, probably a couple of nobodys
  12. It should have a air tight liner on the rim to seal the spoke holes. And I'm not talking about the normal liner preventing your tubes to be punctured by your spokes

    Grey MTB Race

    Well done. Could not make it, was working. Where can I get the results?
  14. What size are you looking at?
  15. The other day a guy was selling a full carbon Cannondale Flash 3 for 16k. It was just over 10kg and it had some cool upgrades as well. For 15k you can pick up a bargain. Just be patient
  16. Where is the sealant leaking out?
  17. Been there, done that. Not worth the effort.
  18. Maybe a good idea. But you will be able to tell if it is Stans (white liquid) in your tyre or not. Also if the old sealant is watery, clean it out and put new ones in.
  19. Is the new rim already converted to tubeless? If yes, just take the tyre of the old rim and if their is sealant left in the tyre leave it in. If their is little or no sealant left, just top up with Stans. To seat the new tyre on the rim, just put it on and use a compressor to inflate it. The trick is to inflate the tyre at a rapid speed to let the tyre pop in to place. If the air keeps on escaping on the sides, spray some sunlight liquid on the places were air is leaking out. You will also need valve adapter to convert the presta to a schredder valve to be able to use a compressor. If you are lucky you can try and inflate the tyre with a normal cycling pump
  20. Definitely a scam site, if not, then I will be ordering myself 2 Cannondale Trigger Carbons 1's today!
  21. And that is the million dollar question
  22. Batman Adventures in Texas Fascinated by American culture and by the state of Texas, the French photographer Remi Noël invites us to discover a series of images taken Houston to Dallas, often featuring a figurine of Batman, traveling companion of the artist. One set with black & white very successful to discover images in the future. http://www.fubiz.net...tures-in-texas/
  23. With you on this, irritates the hell out of me when people rant about helmets on thehub. Leave them be, if I or anyone else choose to ride without a helmet then it is our problem. It's the same as riding in a boat on the river without a life jacket. Are the helmet police going to rant about that too? Each to it's own.
  24. Here is a old gem I rediscovered the other day
