Contaminated Haggis

Was in the same boat with a rather unused tubby. I unstitched near the hole, exposed the tube, patched it and sewed it back up again. The repaired tubby lasted another 6 months but blew about 10km's from the finish at the Campus to Campus last year. I pump my tubbies to 11 bar and use my race bike once a week, so I got a lot of wear out of the tyre. I suppose plugs might work but the margin for error is so much greater, you could damage the tyre and tube further. With tubeless there is only the tyre to worry about, and you dont have the issue of having to align the tyre with the tube. Tubbies are used for their weight saving (I have yet to see a set of clinchers weighing under 1.3Kg's - my tubbies weigh 1.01Kg's), the risk of pinch flats is practically zero, and yes, less rolling resistance. The flip side is if you do puncture during a race or out on a ride the walk home isnt the greatest and the price of a new tubby hurts the pocket. Hope this helps

Get your cholestrol checked if you are so worried. If its below 5 then you are good.

Count your blessings guys, at least you will get a result, even if its a bit late. I broke a spoke after 75km's and had to stand on the side of the road like a do0$ for an hour. Anyway, looks like they fixed the problem and site is back up but the results are still not there yet. Shouldnt be too long now dougaroony2010-05-23 12:03:55

Ok, after much ado, I decided to try it out. I stripped down my bike, removing the Campag 10 speed Record group and put on the new SRAM Red (shifters, crank and BB, front and rear dr's). All that remained of my old Campy groupset was the cassette and chain (semi new). After a few tweaks and test runs in the driveway, my shifting ran perfectly, no issues whatsoever. My bike looks great with the Red, although I do miss the trim on the front dr to be honest. Will test properly in the week in a group ride.

Will Sram components (shifters and front and rear dr's) run on a Campy freebody, chain and cassette (10 speed)? Anyone tried this?

nice one

Yes, but Nokia works the best, then HTC, then Ericsson, then Samsung. The Apple Iphone doesnt work because its just a big Ipod.

they changed the distance from 94.7km to 96.5km. The average speeds will all change.

Will be my 10th in a row.

All those Lance Armstrong jokes eventually came back to bite you in the nut dude !!

What stops the anonymous buying of passwords / pin numbers? Just because you 'have the brains' to keep things secret from your offspring, doesnt mean you wont say no to a bribe for your credentials. Corruption is so rife in SA and lining ones pockets means more to some people than the demise of their country. Also, just remember that almost half of the SA population fall into the indifference category because they didnt even register. Having them register and then buying their passwords would definitely see changes in power, but how could there be a measure of 'free and fair'? dougaroony2009-04-22 11:24:00

Try both - Zipp 303 Z3's. Less than 1kg per pair, ceramic bearings and quite aero too. Big moola though

Sorry numbnuts, we've got bigger fish to fry. Have a ball (all puns intended)

in your mouth, I'm sure all the people you've dis'd will come. dougaroony2009-04-20 11:06:33
