It's really heartwarming to see a successful company giving back to the community. Well done cwc

I have the normal rydon with the inserts as your prescription changes you can change the lense on the inserts, due to the sunglasses being the standard lenses you can interchange to take the photochromic lenses or dark polarized lenses.

If we going to be traditionalist About cycling then we are going to lose the publics interest and ultimately sponsorship which directly correlates to prize money. Let's look at cricket according to purists 5 day tests are the only way the game should be played however as a spectator watching paint dry is more exciting. Cricket administrators realized this and the sport was resurrected with the introduction of T20 cricket. Formula 1 was the same hence rule changes every 2 years to allow innovation to cars and ultimately public interest due to rivalry. The Tdf is definitely the greatest cycling race on the planet we should hv the greatest cyclist competing for this title.

I thank you guys for the responses..these are your excuses.. 1. Calendars - due to the grand tours happening over the 4 month period 2. Cycling is a Team sport. My response - why does the grand tours have to only be in Europe, golf, tennis is found thru-out the world and I'm not referring to the every week event but the Wimbledon and Master type events that the Tdf can be equated to. I do empathise with the cyclists who push themselves for 3 Weeks 6 days a week 5 hours a day...but unless there is a great rivalry or international sports person appeal like a Tiger Woods or Lance Armstrong viewership, sponsorship and prize monies will unfortunately reflect accordingly. Wimbledon total prize money in 2013 £22 560 000 with winner receiving £1 600 000 person knocked out in the first round receiving £ 23 500 Master total prize money $8 000 000 winner receives $1 440 000 50th placed person receives $20 500 Le Tour total prize money €2 000 000 winner €450 000 19th person €1000 , I'm sorry to say this Is absolutely pathetic. The Tdf race over the 3 weeks is way more taxing on the body than the masters and Wimbledon combined yet the prize money is a only about 7% of their total. Yes there are many tweets about the rivalry of contador to froome but the true rivalry on the road has not materialized to spark any public interest as would a froome vs Quintana showdown. Teams yes there should be support of the best team member capable of winning but the decision on who it must be should be, made on the rd, based on capabilities and skill not a boardroom decision..I have to refer to 2012 Tdf and question whether wiggens really was the strongest and best rider in the field unfortunately it was team orders and we will never know...2014 team orders have been to support froome, would he be the best rider, that unfortunately we will never know as this is also predetermined hence lack of excitement and wiggo/froome rivalry.

I must say I'm really sad the giro has ended and glad Quintana champion but I'm sorry if I may offend some hubbers but can we really say he has won the race against the best cyclists in the world. Yesterday while the giro final stage was ridden the moto gp and French open was being played, in moto gp Marquez and Lorenzo had a classic fight at muggello till the last bend of the race what excitement..the French open had all the worlds top players competing for the title... Cycling races seems to be watered down and stinks of collusion by team management. Me as a cycling supporter want to see Quintana vs froome vs wiggens going at each other hammer and tongs to the very last climb so that at the end of the race the person standing at the top deserves to be there. Please don't think for 1 minute I don't appreciate wht Quintana has achieved but I have to question what it would have been like if froome was also competing. I hear that NQ is not part of the Tdf and wiggens is to support froome...WTF!!!! Why the heck can't the sky team go at each other as Hamilton and Rosberg do..make it exciting and the best man wins. Why team collusion u may ask, it's like giro was given to Movistar in exchange for the Tdf to sky. Froome and NQ are the best riders in the world at the moment but not competing against each other. Why can't the organisers uci or whoever decides dates change them to allow for the top riders to compete in all these grand tours every year without any compromise. All other sports allow fr classic rivalry Borg vs McEnroe, Schumacher vs rest, Rossi vs rest, Armstrong vs rest, Ali vs Frazier etc. why should we as cyclists supporters in 2014 and who knows how much longer not experience this rivalry. For me the Tdf is going to be great to watch as il always sit in awe of these supermen but it's not to hv the challenge and excitement of wondering who going to win...which to me is very sad

Moto gp races this year has been pretty boring upfront, but yesterday performance I'm hoping may have ignited a rivalry that will inject some on the edge of your seat last lap drama going forward. Wow Jorge and Marquez wht excitement, Rossi unfortunately can't keep up with the youngsters but 300 moto gp races well done. Although the season winner may almost have been decided I'm hoping for lots more drama in the coming races.

I'm sorry pillik huberus hmmmm

Hi I hv a large with a similar build as you hv described and mine def is below 13kg, Nad

Omw what climbs, I have never seen professional cyclists struggle, super humans no doubt, 22% climbs, do we have climbs at that rate in the western cape, I'm sorry I can't relate to such gradients.

Hi Nick I thank you for the interest expressed in solving this matter, please realize the resolution of this case will be an indication for me on whether I would continue any future business and personal short term involvement with Hollard. I can't speak for other hubbers but to me this is a principle issue and although you have legitimate technical reasons not to pay out the claim, I would hate to be further associated with such a company. I will be following this thread and sincerely hope an amicable solution is promptly received. Regards Nad

I think there needs to be some sense of calm regarding gumtree, I'm trying to understand the problem here, a 4 yo bike being sold for 29k, if you think it's too good to be true I suggest u buy it however I can't see the huge win in this price for the bike on offer.. If you want to judge a person based on what they look like to 1. Determine affordability 2. Whether they actually are cyclists We have a serious problem with hubbers or we have become so elitist and snobbish that we pull our noses up to people not fitting our mould. Get a life!

Yes, all legit.

Keep us posted on the progress of this bike please.

Vigilantism is probably not the ideal way to solve this problem. We need to exhaust all avenues within the policing processes before we take the law into our own hands.

Hey bugs lilise hubby All the best with your recovery and despite the loss of possessions you came out f this unscathed. The MO seems to be the same so it appears that these 3 f@ckers are terrorizing the mtb riders. I hope the police track down these guys bec the escalation rate of the crimes will increase the risk of someone unaware of the dangers in the area being seriously hurt.

Hi Agree Scott spark 940 is a great first time bike. It will be the gift to yourself that will keep on giving, you will never find yourself in any situation that the bikes not capable of handling. Great choice and welcome.

Hi Wish ur dad all of the best with his recovery, sounds like a hectic fall. Regards Cana

Not exactly a good looking bike, actually quite fugly compared to the pyga 650b or even the giant.

I have the 800 I don't even use half the functions and I also thought it was way too big. If I had to do it again il prob buy the 510, it covers all my requirements as a cyclist, although I do like the gear indicator on the 1000, The tex t and call feature...hmmm I'm not sure it's such a good idea, would it not be a risky distraction.

I have a Scott 10, who can I verify its authenticity with.

I think we need to guard against any petty unpleasant experience being the justification to 'expose' lbs as offering poor service or not customer focused but rather money focused. Admin needs to have very strict systems in place to manage these types of comments or the hub will lose its credibility. I'm not defending the store in question but consider these alternative perspectives; To most cyclists Technical details are very important so if they do not receive these from the lbs when considering a new purchase they would go to one that does offer the details. Buying second hand rather than new - yes there are many pros and cons of each and really it's very subjective, so we may not agree with a different position regarding this but are we not arrogant to not accept this differing view. You don't mention your relationship to the prospective buyer, 1. if a friend then why go into an lbs if you going to buy second hand in any case; would you expect a different response from a BMW salesman if you told him you going to buy a car off Gumtree will they also be Compared to the government. 2. If he wasn't a friend, was it your position to discuss the hub. I remember the fable of 'Chicken little and the sky falling on her head' when I read this post.

Hi Meezo The guys responsible for consciously selling fakes and jeopardizing the lives of their consumers..agreed they will need to face the consequences of their actions..it's the lives of the many innocent people indirectly linked to Cycle Science caught up in the aftermath that I empathise with

Great review Martin

I watched carte blanche and I felt really sorry for these guys.. Their worlds as they currently know them are going to be totally destroyed..people working for them too.. Their business without a doubt is going to go down in flames all suppliers are going to question their integrity and credit limits/terms are going to be reviewed..their families and the lives of many innocent people associated with cycle science either directly or indirectly are going to be adversely affected.. Look I have been following the comments and realize the need to expose the store for misleading and defrauding their customers..but for many of us on the hub in a month this will be forgotten while many innocent will only begin to live the true extent of the aftermath. So please spare a thought for them

Hey man sorry to hear this, we will keep a look out for the bike, please ask him to send our more details like the Pyga serial number
