Can one say that the higher price guys don't waste/spend their time on the hub that much or at all, and the cheaper guys got way to much time on the hub??

Winters 3 Options --- In better/good days, take your road bike out (if your a roadie)
Bad/Good days - MTBthere is no under R10 000 option ?Asgree.
Mampara - you might be right about the mass production' date=' but there is a differance between lower groupos and DA or Record. Have 105 and had a few rides with DA - huge differance 4 me.

okay, take the Ti and now carbon bits out of a DA/Record groupsets, why are they better then lower end? Make the parts that work you have a winning formula. Sell 100 000 groupsets and not 400 000, 300 000, 200 000, 100 000 groupsets as model prices increase. All carbon frames come from the same place. Giant alone produces 100 000 plus a year, so why are they still expensive.
Everything that is not hand made and take 20+ man hours to make should be cheap(er).
..Yep, your right. but ppl pay that so the companys are just pumping what they can get. aggree that bikes are overpriced and you don;t really buy a better bike. my point on the groupo is that DA is much smoother and fater that the lower groupos same goes for Record. thats why I would pay more for those.Don't mind the weight factore at all, just easier and smoother.
Even for thehub' date=' and in spite of it being a Monday, this is a pretty fockin random poll. Weirdos. [/quote']Why the F is this a weird poll?

Most of the value for money bikes are way down on the chart. I'm willing to spend up to 40K per bike, more on the road side.
Crossmark is great - works wonders on flat karroo roads (with the smoother traction), but words fairly well in wet areas aswell.
This is K&K news every day / week. When will this end? Do you guys think that its only because there are a lot of people out training for the argus? OR
Just to see how many of you trained during the holidays / Desember month.
Buy yourself Rollers and only train indoors when its really dark or if its raining. For the rest of the year head out and ride outside - for us roadies I MTB more often during the winter.

Every cyclist for himself, stop bugging idiots. If they want to be killed by a taxi from behind, or hit their head on the tar, let them bee.
just a sad case if you have to dope to be compedative in local races. Shame, so lame
thanx Johan
How often do you guys replace the cluster and the chainrings on MTB and Road ?? I know it depends on the wear but just a estimate - like one a year - twice. After 5000 km ?? How do you determine ?
HAHA - ja the bling on that thing must cost extra. Reminds me of the celebs buying a celphone and adding diamonds to make it cost more, in the end you have normal product pimped over the top.
Pantani what are you riding?
Any one know what will be the best option to look for ? Price R1500 - R3000.
So the trim is something I tune in myself or at a shop - or does this only refer to the fact that I need to either hold in to shift up to the bigger ring or do a small / half shift to move the FD to stop the chain from rubbing on the FD?
Hey
its crazy dude
Tuning your own gears ROAD ?

Would like to know if its really as easy as tuning and playing with the small screws on the FD and RD of a Shimano groupset?
