  1. LittleBen tells me that spraying 'spray and cook' on your frame, tyres etc. works well. Just don't get it on your rotors/calipers! Never tried it myself though!

    Was just gonna say - TitusTi what you doing posting 24 hour stuff under 'product reviews', but then noticed the post had actually 'deteriorated' into an event/racing topic! And yes I did contribute to that, sorry! BTW TitusTi - is it something that I can watch with my wife, in that it has some sort of start, whats happening, how do 24 hours work etc. and then the elation at the end? Or is it another of those showing okes riding round and round (now those may be interesting to us cyclists for a short time but for most other people they aint!)

    The Ducks will be there again! 4 man and we'll have our dirty double race winner anchoring the team.
  4. Mud Dee - You sponsoring a 10sp RD
  5. Done! Gonna cost me just a left hand ten speed STI lever (Dura Ace). Anyone got one 'lying' around'?
  6. Ok well that sorts that then! Saves a few bucks. (of course if Scotty says yes)
  7. Sure! Just waiting for the left STI to arrive (long story!) and we'll test. Have the cassette and chain already! BTW - we are using an old 8sp 105 RD on 9sp TT shifters on my son's TT bike and it works fine, hence my logic!
  8. Why the rear derailleur guys? Surely the movement it makes is the same for all cassettes and the high and low adjustments are the same as you pretty much have the same 'width' cluster but with 1 extra gear? Also the biggest and smallest gear on the cluster is still the same size? The STI's will make sure it 'only' moves the necessary amount to change for 10sp (fractions less than for 9sp?). I would go with cassette, STI's and chain. In fact will be doing exactly that on Little Ben's bike soon and we'll see!
  9. Hey all that is my niece's baby, no wonder she's that gorgeous (runs in the family!). OK so there is a family relation to casci, thought it best to get that out in the open now! Actually even cuter than the picture shows! She got more hair than the dad.
  10. I am assuming csiad with your 4 posts that you have won many elite expert super races lately? Rather disparaging of others efforts and echievements. I sincerely hope yours are way better to be able to make the comments you have!
  11. narra - by the same logic it was obviously something more serious or important than we know for her to do that, but ja that's just my thinking!
  12. Luckily ................................... she has entered SabieX so Littleben will still see the 'babe with the red hair' as he calls her!
  13. DNF7143RiderDirtM5454 Veteran M4503/12/1962 - that tyre was obviously very bad else you would have sewn it with your dental floss?
  14. DR - what time? I don't even see you in the results, were you under the 'radar' so to speak?
  15. DR - just woken up? We were too far behind to have seen those okes man!
  16. 5k's? You must be joking, 5m's maybe!
  17. No wonder the weather was so bad - MichH no riding? Can't be!
  18. They were just lucky I was not having my best day Well done.
  19. They must have the same model helmets by the looks of it but I'd say Barend looks like he sweated more (looks more 'muddy'!).
  20. Thug - but I bet it needs a towbar? Got a similar one from HoldFast also at a fraction of the price of the Thule. BrotherBen has the Thule, very nice though!
  21. Does your Commencal know you are 'lusting' after another huh huh?
  22. tow-rope - Sunday at UA please?
