  7. Why dont you buy both and test them for yourself ?
  8. I left my bike at the bike shop. Told them i will call them in the morning to let them know what i have decided to do. I still have not made a decision as yet, but think i will rather go for the dura-ace cable kit as i know they good stuff

  11. Seems to be a common problem on FSA cranks.
  12. Cycling is still safer down here in the cape.However i think thier is a shift now from targeting cyclist to targeting bike shops rather.Basic economy of scale.
  13. Whats happening to the database thing.My brother garage was broken into a month ago and 2x 2008 giant team advance stolen.Thats R60k gone and it wasnt insured.We some how need to do something to stop these guys.
  14. i phoned the events office, they said the route is the same as before and NO BOYES DRIVE. furthermore i checked www.cycletour.co.za as well and they have updated their site with the new info.
  15. is it a Red TCR C1?, my buddies bike was stolen lastweek but that was in cape town
  16. I got the jockey wheels,bolts and skewers, the skewers does come apart after sometime but that could be because i take my rims off the frame as i dont have a bike rack so i load them in the boot or the back seat.guess its not that durable. The jockey wheels no complaints so far other than the paint starting to come off. the bolts are pretty good i think,i really cant see a diff other than bling bling only.
  17. The Giant frame is a ISP and the seat post and fork steerer must still be cut. The reason i am going for a giant is because the frame a stiff and will still be rideable even though its will be very light.
  18. Hey Carlo, most of the items has been weighed, The Dura-ace crank is not 172.5mm but 170mm thats why its 640g I took the weight of the Conti supersonic tires and tubes off the website as iam still getting a set so not exactly sure of weight. Will have it Weighed once its fully assembled though. I have noticed that the weight quoted by manufacturers are slightly off.
  19. Shimano Dura-Ace, i was thinking of getting maybe Campag Record iam not a fan of Sram. Also would a Sram Red Cluster work with the Shimano Groupset ?
  20. Sorry i havent included pedals, When you buy a bike you dont get pedals with it. But i do ride with Look Keo Carbons didnt still worry to weight them.
  21. Guys, iam building a Weight Weenie road bike and need some advice. Below is my current set up,however i want to get the bike into the mid 5.5 to 5.7kg range.
