  1. yup hahahaha that was a waterpiont actually more like a safari because of the long grass and thos poppies were useless seeing as they never handed out anything and i saw maybe two people stop for the water alsdo i think it was stupid to have it where they did they should have had it at the top of the hill instead of at the bottom!!!
  2. Dude what are you smoking i spent close to two hours at the waterpoint run by just fun cycling
  3. The Sram shifters cannot work with the shimano derailers because they work on a different pull ratio however a sram cassette is compatible with shimano and vice versa
  4. to be honest i would go for the felt out of personal prefferance but take dries' suggestion very seriously you could pick up a second hand bike for a steal and have better components and you might not have to upgrade for a while
  5. Dude there is no difference in mechanics at all i race on a dura ace cassette4 and train on either an ultegra or 105 cassette depends on which wheels i feel like riding my other components are a mix and match of ultegra dura ace and 105 so the main difference is the materials used and the weight not much else there is no danger to you or your bike if you mismatch components on your bike

  8. ok yes i am an elite cyclist but hey it should be the same for everyone i was lucky to get my license in time for the hyper to hyper but i didnt even show them the license because the organising comittee know where i am seeded and just double checked on the pc in the end it shouldnt be about who you know but it should be about what you deserve really sucks to read about everyones misfortune
  9. Noche if you are running with normal car valves the core is removable without changing tubes so your slime conversion will be relatively easy and you can do it at home within a matter of minutes Questions: is the bike shop trying to sell you new tubes with slime in them already?? why did they say you will need to change valves??turtlek2009-02-05 14:57:13

  19. Ouch what did you do wrong turtle? skate the wrong way around on the ice? or spend to much time on the hub during working hours? Was accused of theft and not given a hearing or anything was sent to a polygraph and even though i passed it seems like the boss has a personal vendetta against me due to feeling threatened so looks like i will be going to the CCMA for legal help due to unfair dismissal!!!! P.S. anybody looking for a competent bike mechanic and salesman??????? good refferences and a few years experience
