  1. B12
  2. I am looking at the Felt bikes. The B12 is full carbon at R22k the S22 is Alu with carbon fork and chainstays at R17.5k. Both are Ultegra specced and have the same Felt 40 mm deep section wheels. S22 below.
  3. You guys that ride both a road and TT bike. What size Road and what size TT bikes do you ride? I ride a 61 Cervelo and it looks like a 56 TT bike should fit me fine
  4. Had a look at them this weekend. B12 Full carbon with nice wheels for R22K. By far the best value I have seen.
  5. Maybe if if I amputate my legs just above the knees it will fit me. Seriously it looks very nice but way to small for me. I need a 59/60 cm bike.
  6. Is a dual not the orginal Soloist? The one where you could turn the seatpost to change the the seatpost angle.
  7. I am on 61 Cervelo. I would think a 59/60 TT bike.
  8. Bikes dont come much nicer than that.
  9. Just spend a small fortune on my new Elsworth MTB. (no small is the wrong word). How much are these bikes going for?
  10. I ride a Cervelo road bike and believe in them. Why the P3 and not the P2? Yes I know the P3 must be the best TT bike available, but is it worth the extra money. How does the prices compare? Guru included.TryBoy2008-06-13 01:32:13
  11. I am ready to Iron Man agian next year and want to invest in a TT bike. Any suggestions on what to get?

    Time is by far the best. Forget Shimano.
  14. You get a liitle holder that screws on under you waterbottle cage. Totally out of the way and dont come loose.
  15. Thanks Titus. How low is low? Which other tires do you use and where do you get them?
  16. We had a thread a while back on what pressure you ride your tires. This weekend I started experimenting a bit. First I pumped my tires till they felt good using my hand. (these are 29 er Bontrager Dry X). I rode them and they felt nice. Then I measured the pressure with my pump and then with my Topeak gauge. Both measured 1.6 Bar. Now this looks extremely low to me. Question to all the clever guys: Does the size of the wheel have an effect on how a certain pressure will feel? i.e Will the same pressure feel harder in a 29 than in a 26?
  17. Erhm... Yes, interesting, but also see this thread from last year... Thanks Mountain Lion. I see that mr Borman indeed had an opinion on this. It does seem from this thread that most riders prefer to ride soft tires, +- 2.1-2.2 bar. I wll tell my buddies harder is better and kick their butts this weekend.
  18. Does mr Borman have a opinion on this?
  19. I am riding it at 2.2 bar and trying to convince my buddies that it works better than making it too hard. 4.5 bar is seriously hard.
  20. What pressure do you guys ride your mountain bikes? And what do you weigh?
