  1. when they look like this http://i.ytimg.com/vi/YAVg52Xe9A0/0.jpg
  2. ah man i thought this was a Greek Mythology post!! would've gone for a Centaur so I guess there's my answer
  3. lay-oh-paard already have see through clothes
  4. Sounds like it stayed in there anyone know if someone has turned normal road rims into Carbon Deep Sections? How would one bond the Carbon to the Alloy rim?
  5. flip I would love to get my hands on one of these!! http://www.bmeres.com/images/c-thru_ehbe.jpg
  6. TNT1 I was wondering what took you so long to comment? too much tequila if you read a bit further you'll see I added that he wont be riding the Vuelta this year.
  7. "Before wrapping, I perforated the tape with a pin over the whole surface. This squeezed out excess resin after wrapping." that must've taken him forever!!
  8. Andy must be the most frustrated of all, imagine sitting waiting to hear if you have won the Tour or not ?? Convenient because now he could race the Vuelta on the 20 August!! A Spanish race after a Spanish arbitration found him 'not guilty' but I read now that he has decided not to ride it.

  10. was there is a swim involved or am i missing something?? seems like the route was in the water.
  11. what hubs do you have? surely there are adaptors of sorts? I am not a MTBer so excuse my ignorance
  12. Felt releases info on it's 2012 Cyclo-cross/MTB/ and a few others http://www.cyclingnews.com/features/felt-bicycles-2012-first-look-at-full-range
  13. Depends what IM you are going to do, any wind over 20km/h is going to wreak havoc especially when it comes from the side. As you live in SA I am guessing you'll compete at the IMSA in PE which is not known for it's calm seas and wind still days. Personally I would not recommend going with the 101's, especially if it's a road frame and clip-on bars. If you aren't going to ride over 40km/h (as others have mentioned) the benefit will be minimal. the amount of extra watts needed to keep those wheels turning in the wind will nullify any watts you'll save from the aerodynamics. It's my belief you'll get the most benefit from a 60mm in front and 80mm in the rear. I think you guys get Black Spade in SA? They make a 60/80mm combo for a decent price! Not even the Pro's (bar some when they know there will be no wind and a few others who enjoy them) ride with 101's on the front. Plus using 101's in a road race will be like wearing pink compression socks and slops at your local shopping centre. A serious no no but you might just get away with a 60/80mm combo. Spending that kind of money for one race a year would not be viable.
  14. i think you answered your own question there mate..
  15. on MTB rides I'm not surprised!
  16. so I received my very own Lampre Cotton Cycling Cap (like the pro's wear) and as it was quite sunny and hot today I decided to wear it like so... (see picture below) Flip what a health hazard!! with the peak under the front of the helmet I couldn't see a darn thing further than 2 metres in front of me. I had to ride with my neck cocked back just so I could see! I will be thinking twice before copying the Pro's now, unless it's riding up Alp d'Huez at 30km/h.

  17. wow! that integrated braking system is fantastic!! no doubt some TT manufacturers will be exploring that concept more!
  18. um?? are you planning to run in that one piece suit as well?? the time you lose in overheating on the run will nullify the advantage gained on the bike. if you can change in T2 the time wasted changing (not to mention the little kids nearby who will be scared for life) will again nullify the advantage. I use Orca one piece suit (sleeveless) and I get pretty hot in it on a warm day but yes you feel the advantage on the bike. my 2 cents.. train hard!!

  20. it was just a matter of time before this guy got everything to fall into place on race day!
  21. man and I thought this place was the Wild West...
