Helen you biscuit!

1x look road frame cracked with me, was swapped out no questions asked. I believe it was flown back to the factory as this was the first recorded manufacturer fault on that frame

ya a little odd for this to make it on a cycling forum?

in it to win it! na na! i said it before it was cool!!

Puncha: JHB slang for a tube/tire that wont hold air Ace: ie. your out riding on your own...

call me a noob, i have a tiny saddle bag on my road bike. 2 bombs, tube, adapter and some porno patches(quick stick pucture repair). wont change this anytime.

all you haters, what do you do if you get a puncha and you're on your ace?

in it to win it!!

ya not exactly important in SA. food for thought tho, rim weights would come down in time if we go the disk route, resulting in reduction of power needed to accelerate the wheels to speed? could make for some very responsive wheels in the coming future....

my little addition to this thread... she might not be recent but boy she rides like a dream!

more specials are on the way!

shot for the help guys!

hi all, does anyone know if there is a way to convert a campag hyperon hub to a universal or shimano single speed? this is the only thing holding up a Look 959 single speed project. Thanks in advance!

settled on some Shimano RS80's lekker!

shot! i've sent him a pm

how are Darkhorse wheels? very tempted to save up and buy the 38mm carbon clinchers....

i recon that was cost before the rand when to sh*t

i've been trolling that site for an age... no movement so far....

i'd love to get some AMC 420's they would look great on this bike, but price??

Ok to clarify.These wheels are going on a bike I am building for the other half!Speed and aero are not at the top of the list. Looking at a 4 hour 94.7So I'm looking to make her time going up hills as easy as possibleI'd like them to be clinchers for ease of puncture repair should she be caught out alone.I'd be happy with something around the 1550g mark.Heres a pic of the build. The current wheels with tubes tires and skewers weigh a whopping 3.4kgs

haha! lol, my bad. road hoops boys...

Hi All, i'm looking for some lightweight ROAD wheels for a max of R4k i dont mind buying second hand - they just need to be in good cond. anyone know someone selling a decent set at this price? Thanks in advance!

did a back to back test of 26er and a 29er with my father. 29er was a mid spec yeti bigtop vs. a top of the line 26er look. we were looking for and differences in heartrates. we swapped many times during the ride. so we both had each bike when fresh, and again when we were fading a bit on the way back. what we noted post ride on the computer (using polar heart rate monitors) our heart rates were on average 10-15 beats lower on the 29er compared to the 26er... this held true for when we were fresh and when we were tired. anyone else found this? after this experiment we are sold on 29ers. not as responsive as a 26er, but it seem less energy is used and an extra confidence is gained with the larger wheel when attacking complex routes.
