  1. Been there a few times, always friendly and helpful. Always nice to go in to a shop that treats their customers well and actually show interest in what you are looking for and genuinely helpful.
  2. there was a chap in the US (Who would have guessed) that set his RV to cruise control, got up and went to make coffee. yes, as you guessed, the car crashed and yes you guessed it, they sued... And yup only in the US, he won. The manual did not stay that the car will not drive itself when cruise control is kicked in...
  3. Ok, question, have never been down to that part of the spruit. Is there a sign by the see saw saying use at own risk???
  4. If you get the cork pads, not really, they wear real quick. However, I bought a set of Zipp break pads, made in conjunction with Koolstop, and they work great on both. You just need to check regularly that there are no little metal slivers stuck inthe pads or those little bits will mess up the carbon braking surface
  5. Ok, so, the bike options Trek Ex 9 Specialized Epic Comp BH Trail Racer D45K Trek Top Fuel 9.8 (2007) These are my choices at the moment... What would people take???
  6. Ok, another one of those who prefers what questions. In terms of MTB XC bikes, rather take carbon frame or alu frame?? Which is the better option in terms of durability, chances of breaking etc??? I am looking at a bikes, costs are similar, so that is not a factor, simply the material of the frame. What say the wise... (ok then the people) of the hub???
  7. For the power riders http://www.alibaba.com/product-free/101054304/Professional_Srm_Speed_Power_meter_Bicycle.html
  8. Thanks folks
  9. Help... Whats is the difference between a long and a short rear derailer cage? why would I coose one over the other? And please for those who might come up with one is long and one is short... No...
  10. Loved my Trek when I had it. Ride was responsive... felt good, went from a steel frame, no not aluminium, steel, to the Trek, and man oh man the difference. wow. The gave that bike to my dad, only fair, he bought all my others, and i picked up my Specialized. Dad put some damage in to the frame, sent it in for repair, got a loaner from Trek while in for repairs, and now you cannot even see where the repairs were done.. Still a great frame. A guy I peddle with used to have the some model Trek and also loved it.
  11. Have the same set, R2200 in store. I am happy with them, will be using them again this weekend. Have not used on the trail as yet, but in terms of the light on the road, shows everything and can't complain as yet. If something does come up, trust me the hub will be the second to know...
  12. Thats of the feedback guys and girls, I now have to go and look at all the info that has been given and chat to the people mentioned. I diffinitely feel that the coach will be the best option in terms of results. Thanks again. As always, The Hub, a wealth of information.

  14. Thanks for the info folks... It seems that strangly enough, people do actually get on their bikes and get the .... ridden out of them by their training partners. It aint just me at the moment... Will get hold of the guys recommended, but any more info will of course be greatly appreciated..
  15. Any Suggestions??
  16. I would be reffering to all the great cycling type folks on this forum....
  17. So that should move prime to 15.5
  18. What sort of training programmes do folks here use? Is it a case of get on the bike, ride till you throw up and then do it again tomorrow. Do you use a HRM or a power meater or both? Do you have a coach? Do you plan your training yourself? I am trying to lift my game and looking for the most effective way to get the best results.
  19. AAAAhhhhhhhhhhh. Thank you...
