  1. I did the long distance and they also never mentioned where the finish was... We were all sprinting for the flags and all got a surprise when we got there and still had to make the turn! Almost crashed as a result!
  2. The finish was the stupidest thing I have seen in a while...
  3. That's something great then. I weigh 73kg, so it's definitely not that. I think I rode the first generation of the 50mm clinchers. May have to try out a set again as I wouldn't mind purchasing a set of the 50mm clinchers
  4. Those 50mm clinchers from DH, do they still flex a lot? I rode a set about a year ago as a demo and found they had quite a lot of flex when placed under power... Has this been rectified?
  5. Edge 500 is a brilliant device. The additional features on the 510 aren't worth the extra cash
  6. Have they increased the stiffness of those wheels recently? I rode a set of 50mm clinchers last year and they had a lot of flex under power
  7. What's your price range? Also tubbies or clinchers?
  8. Anyone keen to ride suikerbos tomorrow morning?
  9. That's a joke! How can they do that? Surely all other races during the year would count as per usual?
  10. It's not your responsibility to put those costs. If the insurance wants those wheels for salvage, then they must pay for them. None of the insurance companies say that you must pay in the policy

    We tried to stay away after that hill but the wind picked up too much for only 3 of us to stay away for the rest of the race... Maybe next time?
  12. Jatho, My dad's XX RD was doing the exact thing. Replaced the jockey wheels with a set of aonx (something like that from cwc) fixed the problem.
  13. The route was terrible with all the speed bumps! Lots of people nearly crashed going over them!
  14. Speak to Mike Hewan at complete cyclist: 086 111 6230. They stock both corimas and bh frames. Service is excellent and Mike will be able to sort something out for you! It's definitely worth it...
  15. Hi skuzzi, Looking for something around a 50mm which black spade doesn't seem to do...
  16. Hi guys, I know the Chinese carbon parts have been discussed numerous times, and from all your discussions, I'm considering purchasing the following: http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?sbk=1&nav=SEARCH&itemId=321098041808 Has anyone ever purchased any wheels from carbonspeedcycles and if so what were they like? At 1390g for a 50mm clincher set, it's very good value for money. I'm just not sure how stiff they are? In comparison, I have ridden darkhorse wheels before and they flex like crazy! Any advice would be appreciated!
  17. Naas at Evobikes stocks...
  18. I have used first freight before. Good service and great price!
  19. Scott R3 SRAM force Groupset Speedplay pedals Selle Italia SLR saddle Ritchey carbon seatpost Edge carbon bars Mad fiber tubular wheels 6.5kg
  20. First freight R250
  21. It would seem that the GoPro mounts have a serious design flaw. In the last 3 months, I know of two mounts that just broke during a normal road ride. It would appear that the mounts have some issues handling the bumps. The first GoPro hit the ground and was damaged and the second GoPro my friend managed to catch the camera before it hit the deck.
  22. Fitness, and I really enjoy cycling compared to most other sports
  23. The tour de Worcster has a large section of dirt and my Gators had no issues...
  24. There is a reason almost all riders use Gaters... For the price they have great puncture resistance and are a lot better than most other tyres for grip! I will always use these tyres, and they last for 1000's of kilometers... For races I use the conti GP4000 tubbies
  25. Yup talk to Jason, I know him well and he is always willing to sort stuff out for you... Had nothing but great service both instore as well as online!
