The Grip

Finished my CAAD12 build and it rides like a dream. Just need some nice deep sections now.

I just recently bought the same frame and want to fit the new Ultegra R8000 groupset on it. What BB conversion kit did you use, as I’m having issues with fitting the cable guide (not enough space between the frame and BB)? I got the Praxis BB30 conversion and it doesn’t seem to be compatible with the guide that fits under the frame.

Thank the Pope!!!

Racing Knysna Cycle Tour next weekend so I’m in urgent need of some Darkhorse race wheels. At 1,195 grams these babies will make the race a whole lot faster, on the up and down. + It will just complete my bike. http://i64.tinypic.com/17febc.jpg

Well after last weekends performance he didn't look to be in top form for the classics + he had the strongest team.

Doesn't look like it. Expecting sunny skies, light breezes and temps in the high 50s Fahrenheit.

I don't see what all the fuss is about...it's just grass with a few rocks. #arenberg #jk pic.twitter.com/O3qMqOVzmj

I just hope Paris Roubaix won’t be anything like it was in 2011. All the teams were marking a Cancellara out of the race, letting Johan Van Summeren slip away. No one was racing the race, they were racing Cancellara. "If I had stopped for coffee, they would have done the same" Wasn't nice to watch, but I suppose that’s bike racing. Go Fabian!!

I'm sure that swill still change on the TV guide.

Just saw now on Twitter that SS will broadcast RVV @14:00, SS8. Great news!!!

Sorry, Roubaix

Looking forward to it, cant wait.

Lol! Now that was a Classic!

Also checked now. Looks like it will on SS8, starting at 13:00. Remember the uproar created last year on FB and Twitter when SS decided not to show it live? Well we got our way!

Thanks for all the updates.

GO FABIAN!! To me, the best classics rider.

Also looks like the old Scott CR1 to me. http://images02.olx-st.com/ui/5/71/65/1268900483_81306665_1-Pictures-of--SCOTT-CR1-CR-1-TEAM-CARBON-ROAD-BIKE-W-DURA-ACE-NR.jpg

I really enjoyed the racing last Saturday, great event and great prep for up coming events, can’t wait for this Saturday. Good fun!

Looks cool!

VA220 @ 06:05. Sien julle manne daar. Good luck en lekker trap!

Entered, will be my 1st one.

Craig Alexander all the way.

I see Biogen just released a low GI carb drink using the same carbohydrate as 32GI namely isomaltulose with L-glutamine added to the mix. They also claiming a 2 hour sustained energy release. I’m currently using 32GI and I love it. Has anyone tried Carbogen low GI?
