  1. I need some advise. On Road wheels, when it frees, there is a "crrrrrrrrrrr" sound. Can it be made louder or softer?
  2. I have to also mention, I have a set of HED Jet 5 wheels and American Classic Aero 420 (AM'S be sold). I need to get a wheelset with no deep section for those windy days.
  3. thank you furbz, a bit concerned about the wind. I am a light weight already.
  4. Hi So I am on the market to purchase a new wheelset. I have done tons of reading and still cant decide. These are options: 1. Zipp 101 2. Zipp 30 3. Mavic R-Sys SLR 4. Mavic SLR Can my fellow hubbers share there personal experience with these wheels please?
  5. Like my grandma always says, you can steel 99 times, 100th time you will get caught
  6. I make dua/pray that this whole issue is resolved amicably.
  7. Something just struck me. The kids that were with, to some it was a traumatic experience. What about those poor kids. I pray that they find peace in their experience and try to move past it.
  8. Could not help but share this. A few weeks ago, I was nearly run down with my son in the vehicle by a Rentokil vehicle (ironic, I know). As fate may have it, I ended up behind him in peak hour traffic. I had a choice, either get out of my car or follow the instructions on the vehicle to report bad driving. I chose the latter, not only because my son was with me but because in a flash, I realised the outcome. Eventually, on that same day, the same driver was sent to our offices where he apologised sincerely. I see it as a win win situation. He has learnt his lesson, I have gained a new friend. I left with these words :"There is no animosity between us, I would like to think that if I get along side the road and you in difficulty, that I can help you or visa versa". Violence solves nothing!
  9. No action in my opinion justifies brutality. If it were the case that water sachets were thrown, I would approached the van amicably expecting apology. If they became abrupt, I would of just reported it to the race organisers they were working for.
  10. This I like... The fact that an apology must be made. Not condoning what went down, but an apology would be a step in the right direction.
  11. I have been following this post for most of the day and looked at all the comments/posts. In no way do I agree with what has happened.I am bow my head in shame not only for the actions but also because of the name of the club "Muhammadeyah". The most pious, loving and caring man to walk this face of the earth, our beloved prophet, Nabi Muhammad SWA looked for 72 reasons before doubting the next person. You should carry the name of your cycling club high, and replicate the manners of what is your cycling jersey... "Muhammadeyah". A note to all Muhammadeyah's cyclist, remain humble in everything you do, this was they character of our beloved Nabi Muhammad SWA. PS. I am not turning this into a religious debate, merely just depicting the cycling club name and how it relates to Islam. Lastly, I see that on the Alfa Body Works Facebook page that there are a few disgruntled users slandering them. This is not necessary. I am almost certain that Alfa Body Works is just as disgraced and they will take action. PS Again: No, I am not a MC2 rider and not affiliated to Alfa Body Works at all. Just an innocent reader that needed to say something.
  12. Just received a whatsapp broadcast that Cervelo was found together with thief ... bike was striped but most parts are accounted for...
  13. My build is complete... or at least i hope so...
  14. Slmz Yup, sorted. LBS adjusted brake cable in such a way that I can use both wheels.
  15. Hi So I got the above wheel. I was riding AM'S before, tried fitting the HED and they too broad. Even if I open the calliper with release. What now? If it is adjusted, will I have to go through this every time I change from HED to AM's?
  16. Thank you I was told that if it is marked as gift, i wont pay. Is that true?
  17. Hi Can somebody please tell me what do you pay i.e. Tax or duties if I am going to purchase from Wiggle in the UK. Is there a percentage I can work on?
  18. Like my son would say "Daddy's Frankenstein"
  19. I think a credit check is being done on us whilst we wait for reply
  20. Hi Terence Is this for complete bikes only? What is the interest rate and terms like?
  21. I would hold onto Zipps seeing that it is only used for races. No real point in spending extra if only used for races.
