  1. i race with a selle italia flite on my road bike and now my mountain bike as well it really all depends on you in the end i know a lot of people that use ariones on both bikes so give it a try (unless it is the one with the carbon rails) and if you want to get rid of the gobi i might have a buyer for you as well!!!

  7. cool sounds like a plan dobbyson and i went to the other side of the highway... but it was hectic muddy and we were not too sure where the trails were so just did a loop of the ones we saw and i was impressed they were more logwood style with loads of rolling tight turns and some pretty decent single track looks vey promising for the future i really cant wait

  12. ? Some say that the step between 52 and 34 is too big and that you will have problems shifting up and down. Interested to hear if it shifts ok. ? ? <P =Msonormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-ansi-: EN">No problems thus far' date=' the front derailleur was moved?slightly higher.<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></SPAN> <P =Msonormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-ansi-: EN">Down not really a concern cause the chain just drops down.<o:p></o:p></SPAN> <P =Msonormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-ansi-: EN">Up - just make sure you don?t over shift, like doing half a shift, forgetting you have done so and then doing a full shift.

  22. this whole thread is such a joke hahahahaha i mean capri if you have an issue and want to punch someones lights out you should want to punch my lights out my bike is the best bike in the world just because i paid for it myself!!!!!! another example about working hard for what you have, my best friend owns 5 bikes well over the R60 000 price bracket and you know what yesterday was the first time in two years he has beaten me in the 94.7 this year is the first year my bike has had proper wheels with sealed bearings but do you see me being envious or Jealous????? Nope you should have heard me screaming and jumping for joy to hear that my buddy had stuck with the bunch till after the krugersdorp highway that is a major achievement for anybody in the elite bunch I see you as one of those guys that when on the bike you are very angry with things and when you dont get your way or you have a bad ride you come up with k@k excuses and end up blaming your bike GET OVER IT DUDE LIFE GOES ON and as i said earlier in the thread if you really want one of those desirable bikes then get off your ass and go train and all that anger confusion and Hate will go away i promise you!!!!
  23. I was the dude that videoed you three when you were riding up the hill towards the krugersdorp highway great job boys i am very impressed and humbled!!!! the video's will be up on facebook tomorrow i will post the link on the thread for everyone who wants to see!!
  24. ok sorry i am late havent read the whole thread!!! capri you know what sickens me????? i ride a 9.5 kg bianchi by far not the lightest bike in the peleton but on my day i can ride away from most people on it life goes on it doesnt matter about what bike you ride or what you wear its about how you ride it and what you do on the bike if you have an issue with people that ride bikes more expensive than yours then get off the hub go train and work out a plan to get sponsored for a nice expensive bike!!!
