  1. The Shimano Dura Ace CS-7900 Cassette is compatible with the Dura Ace RD-7900 rear derailleur and the RD-7800 rear derailleur except for 11-27 and 11-28 . The RD-7800 rear derailleur does not have ample chain wrap capacity to handle the CS-7900 in 11-27 and 11-28. These cassettes must be used with the RD-7900. The CS-7900 is optimized for the Dura Ace CN-7900 chain, but it is compatible with the Dura Ace CN-7801 chain.
  2. Smerds - You need the Shimano Dura Ace SM-FC7800-P BB for the frame: The original BB used is the Shimano BB71-41.
  3. Smerds - This video explains the BB86 of the Giant TCR Advanced: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AftPKuX_tyo
  4. Slowtwitch - Correct indeed! TCR Advanced 1 - Carbon Steerer - http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-us/bikes/model/tcr.advanced.1/7309/44336/ TCR Advanced 2 - Alloy Steerer - http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-us/bikes/model/tcr.advanced.2/7309/44385/
  5. I think you are wrong... http://www.sram.com/truvativ/products/truvativ-pressfit-gxp-bb "A variant of the external bottom bracket, PressFit cut weight by up to 40 grams and provide easier installation by allowing you to press the bearing cups into the frame instead of threading them. There's no change to the crank — spindle length and diameter remain the same."
  6. Also busy with a Giant TCR Advanced bike build. The Giant TCR Advanced has a BB86 Bottom Bracket shell inside diameter 41mm, shell width of 86.5mm and axle diameter of 24mm. Something like this will work with your Shimano Ultegra 6700 crankset: http://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/first-pressfit-bb-t86-bk http://www.competitivecyclist.com/product-components/2011-shimano-bb86-bottom-bracket-road-6758.19.1.html BB86 Service Instructions: http://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help/bb90-bb86-bb92-etc-bottom-bracket-service Shimano Press-Fit BB Technical Docs: (*First two PDF results) http://www.google.co.za/#sclient=psy&hl=en&source=hp&q="press-fit+bottom+bracket+adapter"
  7. "Legislation in the form of the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act and the Consumer Protection Act (CPA) works on an opt-out basis." http://www.techleader.co.za/pieterstreicher/2011/06/20/edging-towards-viable-anti-spam-legislation/ The e-mail did contain an unsubscribe option, so technically it is legal according to current SA law. It would be nice though to have the opt-out option in the privacy settings of your user account control panel. But agree with other posters that this is unwanted and unsolicited e-mail.
  8. Spat + MTB_Roadie: see you guys in H. Going to be a super strong group again this year. Now to only get that spare Giant TCR Advance from brother andydude and off my lazy ass.
  9. "Contador's case before the CAS was scheduled for August but WADA asked that it be delayed. CAS said the case will be heard in November"
  10. Suggested Retail Price - R51 000.00 Price - R39 600.00 Too bad you don't have a picture of the complete bike with the Campagnolo Scirocco clincher wheelset: http://www.campagnolo.com/jsp/en/wheelsdetail/item_sciroccocop_catid_10.jsp
  11. Some of the photos will make a great desktop wallpaper for your computer. They also have great photos of other news and events. I check the site regularly. http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/
  12. Have a look at these stunning Tour de France photos: The Big Picture Part I - http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2011/07/2011_tour_de_france_part_1.html The Big Picture Part II - http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2011/07/2011_tour_de_france_part_2.html Does anybody else have links to more TdF photo albums?
  13. Not andydude with his Giant TCR Advance - he is currently sipping cocktails in Mauritius.
