Well I guess I will never be disappointed then. Seems a crappy attitude to have though, I do expect our sportsmen to perform.

The Springboks or the Olympic team? I vote for the Boks

Thanks Sammajoor, she really is very special, I dont ever ride my Trek anymore, just gathering dust. Boss lady says dogs and bikes are not allowed on the bed I am way ahead of you, switched the Fizik for a Spesh Toupe some months back along with the Look pedals for some Speedplays. You are right about the Spech saddles, 160 grams and ultra comfortable, amazing.

Yes that was me, out that way most weekends. I agree, correct setup makes ahuge difference. Best R300 I ever spent.

Rode today for the 1st time with the new setup. Wow, what a dirrerence, not unstable at all and much more power on the hills. Thanks Arran This is my real bike

This is my old bike, seatpost didnt go up by much

I believe I have the dubious honour of being the most out of kilter setup Arran has ever had to deal with. I think 6 cm was the previous record. Problem appears to be that when I bought my new bike last year, I took my BikeFit settings from my previous bike and used them as a benchmark to setup my new one. HUGE mistake, frame geometry totally different and the BikeFit figures were done 5 years ago. So I have been riding way too low for 5 years now and felt pretty comfortable, this is going to be a big change, but Arran has assured me I need to persist and I will see huge benefits.

Went to Arran yesterday, he raised my saddle by 8 cm so I am really interested to see how this works when I get to ride on Saturday. Will report back next week. He also adjusted cleats, float, saddle, was very thorough and knowledgeable, I suspect much more of a personal touch than Cycle Lab, etc and cheaper too.

Assos do women specific bibs, but man does this woman need a shave, the rest of her is lovely though.

I know these are mock ups but they only hsow quarter zips, I expect the real product will have full zips? No 4 rocks!

Le Tour was won on Speedplay Zero's. Best money I have ever spent on cycling kit, sore knees no more.

Put me down too please

Would be nice if Dan actually got his facts correct before posting his lame arse story: Why would Mike Haysman watch only 2 weeks of a 3 week tour? The debacle at the US grand prix was 3 years ago, not last year. Guess we can take everything he says with a pinch of salt

Thanks, found some at cape town rubber co, R42 per length.

Looking to purchase some foam tubing so that I can cut it to length and fit it around the tubes of my bicycle for transport. Anyone know where I can buy lengths of the stuff in Cape Town? Thx Evan
