DRIVETRAIN

I use the 550's as one of my training wheelset's....thus far I have had no problems ......... should I do I will contact Shimano... "DT "

Jedi..U make no mention of what kind of tyres U used for racing.....???? It's also factor.... "DT"

Mampara U must understand the thinking behind this countries "Powers that be"......they re-name streets/Airports/Suburbs and the list is endless...then comes the "we want to be like the first world countries" where we adopt standards/codes and processes But can they do it?? are they capable? me thinks not.....for e.g...Survivor SA, Weakest link, Who wants to be a millionnairre???? Originality ??? who are they kidding?? Need I say more ??? "DT"

Jeeeeeeeeeesssshhhhhhhhhh my stomach's in a knot.. I'd have to think carefully about suitable punishment if it was my son... "DT"

I agree with the above but am very careful as far as power intervals go..I have recently tried to do lightweight squats but in effect my knee is not ready because of the sensation I got afterwards....altho' I do from time to time do power intervals, however I concentrate on my Aerobic (cardio) fitness at maximum output as long as I can possibly sustain the effort....also not in big heavy gears... "DT"

Hey 4bar...go back in the posts..we've had this one recently.... "DT"

Nothing surprises me anymore as far as Pro-Cycling goes....anyone who is anyone dopes......some are just spineless ... "DT"

If Only I was the stone she's sitting on... "DT"

Is it not usually the case...no one ever sees anything..... Hope his gonna be ok... "DT"

down on your training heading for the Vodacom Race 4 Victory if U doing it and when ??? where are you now in your training and what do you feel you still need to do ???? Weaknesses etc........ Time in which U hope to finish it ??? 117 km.. "DT"

I don't particularly enjoy core strength training but do it even so..at least twice a week I use dumbells and do crunches/ab work etc...stretching very often as well... "DT"

Good golly...bly me...Oh please daddy why don't I own that one as well......I VERY MUCH LIKE IT.... "DT"

Not worth it for me/us mere mortals to pay that amount of money for just a wheelset..., as U say one can buy a complete bike for that cash... "DT"

Was just gonna say 300k's for a wax layer U got to be kidding me...No worries we doing a 130k loop over the weekend so I'll take it easy at first.. What I mean is when I say we gonna differ is that take our Tyre topic for e.g...price?? quality?? duribility?? etc...U like Michelin's...some like GP4000's..each one with different tyres & different opinions hence there is common ground that what works for one will not work for another..again U don't like Conti's mate...other's do..me..I like red tyres for racing because it matches my wheelset..practicality. That's it.....!!! "DT"

What would the Michelin Pro-Race sell for in comparison to the GP4000's ???? Thing is we gonna differ on most things cycling....TitusTi...would the wax layer/film be scrubbed off with ordinary soapy water or what ??? "DT"

Yeah I'll go for this...everytime I see a dodgy oke on an expensive bike I wonder where the hell he got it from..he still looks proud riding the damm thing. Just want to bliksem him and take it away .... Great idea Cois...thanks Admin "DT"

Ok now the problem of the sidewall being frayed is happening on my Ultra Gatorskins not the GP4000's as explained above,,,I will be using the GP4000 for the first time this weekend...to race with. On the other hand the GP4000 does not seem to be a popular choice among some of you ???? What about Hutchinson's???? Maxxis????? what particular brands are good & light for racing??? All this comes down to "Racing Tyres"...I'm not too concerned about the Ultra Gatorskins fraying etc...I can live with that.. "DT"

I ordered 2 GP4000 tyres for my racing wheelset..That said I'm sure I'm gonna be happy with them..foldable & all. Unlike the Conti Gatorskins..very good training tyre BUT..last nite I notice on my "not so old set" the side wall is somewhat frayed..man this happens a lot and the tyre is still damm good for another few thousand k's per say....Can't just throw them away..I opted to "patch" the frayed part from the inside as I've done with another set and rode with it no worries.....also depending how bad it is... Why is this so and have U had these issues on your Conti's ???? Punctures are almost unheard of and that's what I like about them.... "DT"

Yes I agree the Ritchey rim tape really works well...I have it on all my wheelsets and thus far no worries.....except normal flats...very seldom "DT"

Looks very snazzy............still won't make me go faster... "DT"

D/R how does this train story work mate ?? seems like a few of You here is gonna do it...where does the bikes go/is it safe etc.....???? I know I said I never did the Argus but perhaps looking at it from this angle...fun & all I may consider it ????????? "DT"

"Ready for an orgasm".... yeah me too.............anytime "DT"

Oh..& 94.7 is heading this way as well... "DT"

No....I did not...never done this race..Over rated .. "DT "

Nothing looks more sexy than that.... "DT"
