Not recommended? Due to some technical bits at the start as mentioned? Can one go check it out and ride that before to see if it can work?

I wanted to know if this can be done on a CX bike? See it's not to technical, so seems it would be ideal, but want to test the waters.

Did you ask him why? I know a lot of the teams ride Ultegra Cassette and Chains, as they can get more mileage on them (What I heard)

Go to dcrainmaker.com if you want good reviews on all the Garmin's. Very detailed reviews but good if you are wondering about which one.

So what is the guy's feeling about Canyon Aeroad road bikes on The Hub, those of you who do not know them you can look at another post or search the bikes. It was the bike of choice for the Pharma-Lotto team and Phillip Gilbert So do you rate them? or and why then?

Getting a new bike soon, and after that article it just made me more excited that I stayed with Campy. Was tempted by Sram, but man Campy is just so cool and the passion of the guys are beautiful. I have been riding campy for 8 years now, 3rd campy groupset coming up and had, had an awesome time. My Chorus groupset on my bike now has been going on for ages and has given me no problems ever! Just love looking at there stuff... Thanks for the great link...

I am a keen Triathlete buying a new bike. Not a tri specific bike but a Canyon Aeroad CF and i need to choose between a compact crank and a normal crank. I am leening to the normal as in a Ironman time trial a bigger gear ratio upfront will be good. On the hills the compact rules. So what to choose?

Ok thanks. It is a Canyon Aeroad CF = Germany I currently ride a Giant TCR (2004) = Taiwan (Large)

Ok, so I am thinking of ordering a road bike from a EU country, getting somebody to bring it in for me. How wrong can I go with measurement? I obviously know my bike frame size, but things like stem lengths? I can get it about right, but would a 110m stem vs 100mm stem make a big difference on a 58cm frame (large)? I know my crankset length and would then do a setup once I get the bike.

Very nice!! Seen one at my LBS, and it is really nice. I just wanted to ride it and take it home. Congrats

I just like a hardtail, like the hard ride. Still young, so I can take the hits. And a full susser is even more expensive and do not want a cheap fully, because it is then so heavy.

Why only when your mates aren'y watching?

So what are is the take on KTM MTB's? Are they any good and how is there 29ers? Like this one

I am a medium. But thanks for the info. Will look at the XTC. Would not mind a Morewood 29er but like the others said, not sure where to get it. LBS said it is not yet in production.

Have seen one aswell, very nice, but think they are expensive or above my pay grade

That sounds good as well! Must say, where did you buy it from? Can you pm me a pic or post it here?

Cool. Thanks for all the advice. I will look at the On one, as that is cheap for a frame! But I love a Giant, have had a few Giant Road Bikes. So what did you full XT, with AC wheels cost you? How much over 20k?

I have seen it. A bit ugly for me and I am a medium.

I have never heard of a Chumba? Who would stock them? I am in Cape Town.

Sorry did not realise that was a carbon frame! But yes that colour does not work for me! So is the XTC any good? Is it not too heavy? Do you like the bulls bikes? And do you know what a Copperhead 29 would cost with XT or X9 on?

Are you not talking about the Felt 26" Carbon bike that is going for just over R20k? I can do a stretch if I feel it is worth it.

I am thinking of buying myself a Hardtail 29er. Can anybody give me some advice on what to buy, what is any good? I am looking at a ali frame bike, as the carbon one are way to expense for me. I would like to spec it with XT or X9. Can you guys please help me. How is the Bulls Copperhead 29" like? Looking to spend about 20k. Thanks

So if I can ask you. What dit this bike cost you in the end? What does the Frame alone cost? Looks very very good!!

I second Jens Voigt. The tuffest guy in the business and Mr Power Fabian!
