Carbon frame. Nope didnt have a fall with it. Will monitor it for now and see if it gets worse before I take it to the shop.

When and where is number pickup?

I noticed these marks on my specialized epic expert after washing it today. Is it just the paint or should I have it checked. It is at the seat clamp

Here is my 2012 epic expert

Anyone looking for a Marathon entry???

Did you check your spam folder. My seeding email ends up in there quite a lot

Its in your seeding email

13-14 September

Usual batch for me. B in the Marathon

I would guess that their decision had something to do with this... http://www.darylimpey.com/News/DisplayNewsItem.aspx?niid=34129

With the Shimano's you know what you get. Awesome stopping power with minimal attention needed. I bled my XT's once a year and replaced the brake pads when it was necessary and that was it. No issues with caliper alignment or pad alignment when removing the wheels etc. With the Formulas I have found the modulation to be a lot better than the Shimano's. You decide how much brake you want to apply. I lock out my rear wheel a lot less since switching to the formulas. What does irritate me is that I have to re-align the caliper and pads almost weekly. If I take out the wheels when washing the bike the alignment is all out again. I haven't had them long enough for the need to bleed them so I cannot comment on that. So yes I enjoy the Formula's more but they require a lot more time and attention than the shimano's. If you don't like fiddling with your bike after almost every ride get the Shimano's... Edit: Spelling

I had XT on my previous bike and now ride with Formula R1s on my new bike. Yes they are lighter and more consistent but they require a lot more maintenance than shimano. The XT/SLX are a great package in my opinion

I would go slx. Fit and forget

My wife would give me a proper PK if I attempted that!!!

No it should definitely not look like that. That does not even look like its been attempted to wash!!!

Yip that is what I heard as well. Apparently they want to do a mini stage race where you will be able to do the Marathon on the Saturday and the Ultra on the Sunday...

Why are you getting rid of yours?

Can you follow the breadcrumb trail and still have access to your normal screens or will it show the trail the entire time?

I had huge issues with the Heart Rate measurements. After replacing the battery, the HR belt, and the actual HR unit and still getting random results I decided to move on. The Bryton support guys were also not helpful at all as all response I got was that it must be your shirt flapping against it, or a flat battery. On the second stage of Three Towers last year I got an average heart reading of 225 or something...

So what is the most cost effective option to get for the self navigation purposes needed to do Joberg2C and Sani2C next year. I have had a look at the different options but I am not sure which one to get. I would like it to do the navigation but still be able to see my normal screens with speed, distance, HR etc. I currently have a Garmin Forerunner 910XT multisport watch. As far as I know it can follow a breadcrumb trail but that will be the only screen you see. Ideally I want something with turn by turn navigation but I am not sure if it is really necessary. Currently I am looking at the following: - Garmin Edge 810 - Garmin Edge 800 - Garmin Edge 510(does not allow maps though) - MIO Cyclo 315 - MIO Cycle 505 I am not a fan of Bryton so that is why it is not on the list. I had the Ryder 40 before upgrading to my current Garmin.

We are looking to exchange a ladies white 10 year t shirt medium to a large please. Situated in pretoria

you can do it yourself if you know the right altitude at a specific location...

Compared to the Shimano XT's I had on my TREK en the Formula R1's on my Spez the avids are horseshit!!! They don't have enough stopping power and they squeal like a pig being strangled!!! I have experience with Shimano, Avid and Formula and by comparing the 3 I can come to the conclusion that the Avids are the worst brakes money can buy...

+1 The avids from sram is shite!!!

Nothing wrong with SRAM. My previous bike came with X7/X9 mix and I was happy as can be. I never had any problems with the components. You would feel the biggest difference on the wheels, or even use your money for a tubeless conversion or something... I eventually upgraded to basically full X0 on my new bike with XX shifters. I am loving this combination!!!
