NotSoBigBen

Thank everyone, I am passing the info on as I get it. I asusme there will be some serious 'tinkering' this weekend @Eldron you think they may have thought that if used as an SS it would look clean?

Dream on!

Ping AndreZA !

He's not an idiot if it was that easy he would have done it. But ..... since you write it with such confidence I assume you have either done it or seen it done like that on an Air 9?

Anyone had to replace cables/outers on their Air9 yet? BrotherBigBen seems to be 'naar' about it, must you really remove the fork and BB 'magafta' and ....... a special tool needed to remove it as well

I'll be there!

uh oh I get the popcorn

There I did a search for you https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/108000-sram-grip-shift-is-golden/page__p__1492158__hl__sram+10+speed+grip__fromsearch__1#entry1492158

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: clearly a spelling mistake though

Unfortunate choice of words .....

"at some or other point in ones life everyone wants to ride a Specialized" so just let it go, your turn will come

Spinning bikes/IDT/rollers are the devil! Only to be used under extreme conditions when riding is impossible (a hurricane perhaps?)

Not long SLOW, long STEADY - last time I'm saying that

I'm sure the 'techno' okes will be here to comment in a bit but if you're strapped for cash you don't HAVE to buy XTR

If it rains while I'm out well that's just bad luck and I'll persevere but don't start in the rain .....

Ah the Swiss patriot

Dangle, flip 'Shadows' that takes me back to a very different time in my life Sticking with the quitar theme for tonight Joe Walsh - Lifes been good http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzxF-M2erx8

Gary Moore/Phil Lynott - Parisienne Walkways (live) Frikkin sublime!

I'm happy with the wider bars (660mm) and no bar ends but don't like the 'sweep' of these bars or the rise .... will pop into the bike shop tomorrow. Maybe a 660 with 20mm rise and less sweep is available?

The_Break that would be the ideal situation I guess. Going to my LBS tomorrow for some stuff will check if they have those ....

Besides the one silly comment which I'll ignore thanks a stack for the advice everyone Went and got the correct pads, because it's on my race bike I don't intend changing the wheels generally so they can stay

It is true, not a pretty sight but true

They are 'full' carbon

I guess that's why they make specific pads for them ... thanks man! Will fit the right ones tomorrow!

Is it ok to use 'normal' brake pads with carbon wheels?
