Thanks again, still a tough decision.

Thanks!

Opinions please?

Ignoring my post count, I get the impression that the HT is possibly not an option. Surely it also depends on the type of terrain?

I currently own a full susp. bike. I'm looking to changed to a hardtail, is this advisable and what are the major differences. Im just short of 6ft 1 and weigh 88kg's. If this topic has been discussed at lenght please advice me on the thread.

Everyone on the sight suffered with a MLOT with regards to cleats and clipless pedals persevere.

Thanks for the advice!

Great, the campy groupo is chourus (wheelset being sold to me) and I will replace that with my 105 cluster etc... If it is too much of a mission then I would rather not.

10 speed cluster

What is the process when changing from a campy wheel to a shimano? (hub, cluster etc...)

Cool, thanks everyone that responded.

I'm 6FT 1. Would a 56 Colnago frame be far to small for me?

Cheers thanks for all the advice guys, but I think I'm gonna go the trailer route. Now I just have to find a trailer at a good price.

I am keen on the trailer idea, but not willing to spend in excess of R10 000 on a trailer + racks. Had two forum members reply to my post in the classified and have not heard from them again! I do not currently own a trailer, I normally hire and no one has a trailer with bike racks. Thanks for the advice though. Alex0072007-11-26 02:55:33

I hope this is the right forum. I own a Landrover. I also, for my sins have 4 kids. The wife and I recently started mtb riding. We are encouraging the kids to ride but what are the solutions to travelling with 6 bikes? The youngests bike I am not too concerened. My major issue is that which carrier will siute my vehicle and still allow for a trailer. Needs to carry a minimum of 4 bikes? Help?

Problem solved!

Check out the classifieds!

Not going to go into details because I do not want to embarress the individual.

I recently posted a classified add in the notice board forum. I requested that people pm me if interested. I had numerous responses and one individual said and confirmed that they wanted this specific item but needed a week. I said that it was fine and subsequently updated my poll by saying that the item was sold. I have tried to pm this individual and they have failed to contact me back. If you do not have the funds or whatever your excuse is at least have the balls to let seller know, otherwise you are just wasting everyones time. Those people who have the funds ultimately lose out on good deals.

Some very valid points.

I,m a newbie to this site, as you can tell from the number of posts and have recently started riding again. I have been watching the tour most days and have to say that yesterdays revelations have left a very sour taste in my mouth regarding the tour. In my amature opinion, test the riders prior to the race and during. No test no ride.(all proffesional races) Do not come at the death and now start bringing up the past 18 months for Sucks Fakes. If this continues there will be no tour in the future which will be very sad for our sport. Contodor and Evans will always question wether they could have legitamately beaten the "Chicken". I certainly would not like to win something on technicalities. Just my 2c. Sorry, one more thing, big up to Barloworld, Hunter and Soler. Pity they have to be associated with this particular tour.
