Breaking Benjamin - Breath

how much is owed to you?

My wife had it done once her eyes stabilized (-4.25). After 6 months had to have the left eye done again as it deteriorated. After 7 years she is back on spectacles (-2.75) as she will never be able to wear contact lenses again. Her night vision is relatively non-existent as to what it was prior to the operation. These are things that the doctor failed to mention upfront. My father in law had his done 15 years ago and he only needs reading glasses at this point. But he doesn't spend 8 hours a day in front of a computer so the strain on his eyes are a lot less.

I am looking for a good allround tire choice. I am currently running Crossmarks UST but I find although they roll well, they are absolutely horrible as soon as there is a hint of mud Any suggestions?

Fritz Pienaar Cycles in Irene. You sit on a foam pad for a couple of minutes. Then the measure the distance between the indentations your sit bones make in the foam. Sounds dodge, I know but it isn't

I had a Gobi and my sitbones are to wide for it as it is 130 saddle. Go and have your butt measured. I changed to a 143 Specialized Avatar saddle and it is 150% more comfortable as my butt actually fits on it. Specialized have got an Alias which is similar to the Avatar but weighs 100g less, Alias = 220g, for R1100. I think that is an awesome buy if weight is a concern. The idea about the fizik's are that they have a wider sitting area to distribute pressure off the perineum. But you need a skinny butt to have that benefit. If you are a larger guy like me, 1.87 @ 95kg's then fizik's might also be a bit narrow. I think Specialized have got the least % of blood loss to the perineum out of all the brands.

I would love to see anyone take on Julian Absolon on a dual and take away his world cup title. When that happens, I'll buy a dual Someone did at the Cross Country World Championship. Did you miss it?

I've got a HFS1000, awesome bike.

If you are a medium then buy this dual susser. Great value I think https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=46420

Once you have tried gripshifts you would love it. I prefer SRAM over the Shimano's as the shifting is smoother in my opinion. SRAM triggers are also very nice though but it purely a preference thing And they are lighter philip.maree2009-03-17 08:10:57

I have a 1000D, awesome bike I just changed the XT-Trigger and RD to X-0 gripshifts and an X-9 RD and now she is perfect. Oh, and the saddle is hard. I changed to a Gobi XM

I need to replace the steerer tube of my fork. Does anybody of know of someone that can do this? It's a RockShox Reba SL and to replace the crown is an option, but expensive. Any advice?

I have both Giordana and CapeStorm Matrix Matrix isn't great but the Giordana I would highly recommend

Dude, I had the same problem. Spray a bit of hairspray on the contact area of the post before inserting it. Then tighten the clamp. I haven't had it slip down yet and it's 6 months later.

Thanks barrykm, will have a look

I would go for the 27 speed deore with Hayes brakes.

looking for something with 10x Zoom at least
