!

I always ride with juice in my CamelBack (either Fit Carbo Supreme for important races or Energade for lesser ones). I just clean it out with hot water as soon as I get back home and once a month or so go for the Milton's option ala Mandibles!

I want one of those Ducati one's (think they were Bianchi's though?)!

If AM or Freeride bikes shouldn't have bottle cages then why do they put the 'mounting holes' there huh huh? Probably to fool unsuspecting XC riders into buying them anyway!

On a muddy or dusty ride it's not great if they are inside the frame, can't imagine underneath .............. maybe go for the in the pocket pro look? My Epic also has a mounting spot there but I guess that's just to amuse me! Also has 2 within the triangle but only 1 is really usable, despite it being an XL.

Rode with someone last night who was on a Merida AM800. There is place to mount 1 single water bottle 'within the triangle' but it is not possible to even put a small water bottle in. Think it was a medium frame! Hydration packs will be the order of the day for this young man I'm sure!

I will use my R550's ........... cause that's all I got! And my shaven legs of course!

Sure ! Shirt - 350 ZA Rond Pant - 295 ZA Rond Setup fee - R490 ZA Rond Delivery (8 sets) - 105 ZA Rond All excluding V A T, not sure about the designing part as a very close family member (casci) was the genius who did the designing and also provided them the necessary files to do the printing. There may in fact be a charge if you want that done too. This by the way is all in 'digital print' due to the small quantity we did (only 8!). Any more info PM me and I will provide you the full details!

Nope, exactly why I did it with them in this format.

So finally the kit we had designed and made has arrived. Howzit Sportswear were the suppliers. The printing quality as well as the actually 'assembly' of the garments looks great. We had the better 'HT-90' padding rather than the standard and preferred bib shorts. Must say that we ordered a variety of sizes and everyone seems happy with the fit so far. Will be riding with them tomorrow morning so will comment more about general comfort and fit after that.

I would agree with Skye, you came, you explained. It's out there everyone knows your experience, move on now go somewhere else when next you want to buy something. Anything else now is just wasted energy and vindictive. But ja it's up to you!

Pansies as Marius would say!

I have noticed that the 'dark' lenses that come with the Adidas Evil Eyes have a 'film' on them that scratches easily. Is it possible to get dark lenses that don't have that? How much are replacement lenses and are they easily available?

pererace70 - I used to train with a Tiagra groupset on my GT for 2 years till a week ago. No problems! Works well, isn't cool but does work! Only trained in the dark with it

Is Tiagra still only 9 speed? Has the price gone up relative to the 'coolness'? In fact will Tiagra ever be cool?

Damn was gonna suggest IDT but how about motor pacing? Looks flippin dangerous to me, especially if my wife was driving ..............

IanJ - Thanks but I already have

uuuuuuhhhhhhhhmmmmm so there I am worrying about my 'profile' and my staff deliver this to me on "bosses day" !!!!!!!! What to do, what to do !!!!!!!

Ewep - my wife says you can never be 'too thin' or have 'too much money'!

Ewep - Simple, it never gets easier you just go faster (Greg Lemond?)!!!!!! I too suffer pretty much the same but at least LittleBen is still in my sight (just!!!) when he gets to the top of Suikerbos 2nd climb!

Not sure how many bar but sure harder than I could pump with my 'mini' pump by hand! 1H is definitely not dikgat so if 12g's is ok for me he should be fine.

Nah would never think to gloat about my superior Specialized but now that you mention it .........
