  1. I am also a Raleigh fan, I rode a leading brand name bike and it cracked(BB) after only 6 months of riding, they did not want to replace, so what do you do? Buy a bike that the SA Champs (Male, female, road, MTB) ride and has got great aftersales service. Only choice. Raleigh. The bike is also very comfortable.
  2. For sure 1%
  3. Is there somebody that had old(pre dimple) 404's and rides new ones. How do they compair to each other?
  4. How do you know when to use 172.5mm cranks or longer
  5. Most people suggest that i will feel the difference. I know it is personal preference thing, but perhaps there was an artical or personal experiance that could help me to decide.
  6. Is the new Campaq crack so much better than say FSA cranks. I know they are much lighter. I have a FSA crank with i think ISIS drive BB.
  7. I have 3 choices, Zipp 404's, Easton EA90's or Bontrager Aelus 6.5. All are Tubby wheels. Are all the wheels stiff, I know that the Bontragers is about 300g heavier and is the 6.5 not to deep for road racing?
  8. I am new at this so i only have a simple question. Every body ride deepsection wheels that is either shimano or campag. I know that mavic wheels you get a different cluster for a campag wheel and i think Eastons are the same. My question is this my friend rides a campag groupset but with spinergy wheels and a shimano 105 cluster. I must say those wheels run perfectly on any bike with campag or shimano without any adjusting. I am interrested in a set of Bontragers but with a shimano hub. Will it work? Help will be appreciated.
  9. I need advice on seat hight on road, TT, MTB. I stay far away from all the tech shops. Is there a easier way, and what is the distance that your seat must be behind the BB? Please help?
  10. Do not need head and shoulders, do not have hair left. But contact CarbonBoy, perhaps he can help you with a number to keep you busy during the times that you are so bored.
  11. Yes rather leave it. It can be somebody, somebody knows.
  12. Ja ja, I could probably get the number from you, or is it your perhaps your number??
  13. Do somebody have the tel no of a bike shop that sells HED?
  14. Thanks for all the replies, tubbies or clinchers. I know the tubby wheels are normally lighter, but how easy can a tubby climb off the rim?
  15. 79kg
  16. What is the best overall racing wheels you get. Bora? Eastons? Mavic? Zipps? Spinnergy? HED? Is a deepsection so much better? What about climbing, sprinting? Best value? Normally these wheels are heavier and flex more, is it still the case? Tubbies, or clincher? I currently have Campaq Eurus(old), but want to buy new wheels. Help pleease?
  17. I think they just hide there lack of any calves
