  2. agh' date=' the fun name game PS: well done girls![/quote'] I confused what you mean legend??? Jo is probably the person whose name is constantly being misspelled here... but it's the first time I see the surname spelle wrong, it's van de winkel, although i know it's pendantic - but you don't want to be calles turtelnek either, do you? True true but remember i have had long day so my little fingers are not working well neither is my brain!!! and microsoft doesnt know them personally so it spells the surname wrong whichever way i spell it The worst part is that i have them both as facebook friends so i should know better stefano i am not entirely sure but he was half decent hey tried to outsprint me but ya junior gears just dont have the same kick as an 11-23

  4. if you change to the latter cassettes you will have a problem with top end speed the cassette ratio of 23-11 is perfect for all the hills in the country unless you really suffer then try getting yourself a 1125 and you have the best of both worlds!!!!
  5.

  6. Thats hectic so now any cervelo soloist P3 and P2 would be deemed illegal thanks to thier huge cross sections!!!!
  7. Send it into pro bike they will either be able to fix it or will suggest the best way to sort it out!!! also who does your maintenace on that bike because they should be shot the only time the thread in a hangar works out is if somebody cross threaded that derailer and then attempted to correct themselves and in so doing they wrecked the threads and made a quick fix
  8. spidey everything you have said in this thread is so true hehehehehehe i know exactly how you feel as i am in the same boat as you except i dont work for a living anymore hehehehe
  9. ? I guess I'll fit right in then ' date='thanks for the offer but looks like I'll be able to borrow an old arione from Sonic for the race.[/quote'] Sweet stuff you missing out on looking the part though i know it is hard to say no!!!! enjoy it
  10. dude i have a yellow flite thats not on a bike yet you can use it for sunday if you dont mind looking like an east rand special hehehehe
  11. BIBS DONT SHOW CRACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok that said if the bibs are tight around the tender bits make sure that you have not over stretched the legs of the shorts i find that if the shorts are too far down your legs they will be very restricting and very tight so make sure they are about mid way down your leg in between your knee and your CR#TCH but not too far up so they look like hot pants
  12. they all work on generic rigs as far as i know the difference being the tube shapes and sizings from the different people that want to buy them if you look closely at token freaks bikes you will be surprised at how similar they are to the likes of some very popular bikes and to be honest you are not getting much else other than a frame from a taiwanese factory made from carbon nothing special nothing fancy other than the brand name the only time it is different is when the frame uses nano technology then it is a bit more refined and the details elude me because i dont know much more about it than the average person
  13. dries specialized and merida come out of the same factory so dont be too suprised just do a search on where does your bike come from and there will be a link on there that will give you a bit of a scare
  14. Raleighman my ex girlfriend stays out there and when i rode with them they were all very happy to see a new face it is not a big group at all but give gideon a call he will help you out with times and distances will pm you gideons number
  15. Have you seen the current interest rates dude all the importers are keeping thier options closed on so many lust items because they dont want to sit with dead stock trust me it will come in just not right now wait a few weeks and see how the oil price and dollar exchange goes and you will see them ease up if the prices ease up other than that just import it yourself!!!

    Ding in Rim

    Johan these rims are tubeless specific and only come as disk brake wheelsets so he does not have to worry about the braking surface only if his tire will seal after he bends it back into shape
  17. give bearing man a call thug and give them the outside and inside diameter of the bearings currently in there and also tell them it has a 45' bevel and is a sealed unit they will then help you out with the correct bearings if they cant help you give dragons a call and see what size they give you
  18. ok i ride with louis garneu shorst cant comment on the others you mention but any shop that stocks FiT products can get louis garneu shorts and shirts just ask them you wont regret it!! just ask msbehavn after her first ride in the kit on sunday!!!
  19. to be honest i would rather have something usefull at the end of a race like last years emperors medal was a bottle opener now that just opens up the ideas as to what hapened next!!!!
  20. well it is the highway patrol pulling him over maybe he was up to speed and over the limit
