  1. come on the suspense is killing me
  2. Not quite. Revolutions and Lasers are 2mm-1.5mm-2mm whereas the spokes mentioned above are only 1.7mm at their thinnest. This means Revolutions have less metal and are thus lighter. As for stronger' date=' see my explanation of strength in the post above. [/quote'] I agree with your statements JB I am only stating the theorie that I think is the reason for the triple butted. Is the supercomps not lighter than the dt competition? IN theorie the supercomps are are stronger than revolution(not that strenght is an issue) but lighter than competitions. According to previous thread DT doesnt recommend the recolution spokes for disc wheels(although it is fine to use them) in your experience where do most spokes break?
  3. flea search the classifieds there is a nice fs XL that I have up for grabs
  4. thought JB will show up to straighten us out. .
  5. looks nice. . except for the big headset
  6. I would go for ellsworth. Mampara I agree that thing is UUUUUUgly
  7. what size bike do you need
  8. lighter and suppoesed to be stronger than revoltion spokes stronger where you need it at the j bend. . most spokes that I have seen breakes there. this is what I can gather.
  9. I can handle the heat and I hate getting up early in the morning

  12. Not necessarily. Right front is a old school thing. It's how the pros in Europe started riding in the beginning of the sport. Who rides a road bike Cool interesting to know
  13. The guys that ride right front comes from the motorbike configuration. I ride front left. . I know when I am on a motorbike and when I am on my bicycle.

  17. You can get interference but you will notice that. for example when cruising and your heart rate shoots up from 75% to 105% when I was 18 I still reached 208
  18. You can test it yourself. get flat road or a climb. warm up, start at a easy pace and increase your speed with a 2km/h at each minute. when you cant increase your soeed anymore go as hard as you can for as long as you can. this will more or less give you an ideaof your max. I clocked 200bmm on a climb chasing a friend.
  19. that can be normal. . depending on the length of the race Womans heart rate ishigher than mens, I had her firend whos avg HR for an XC race was 199-200bpm. For your HR max, is it the calculated or tested?
  20. ok if you can downlad the files there is a function where you can literally compare the two rides by placing the on ovr the other.
  21. and weighs only 1535 grams
  22. I see it is missing its siderail? footstep thing
  23. mayb your getting fitter. . I ignore the polar fitness test. . not that accurate. Best way to check fitness is get a route, ride it and check your avg speed and avg heart rate. . you can even take a few lapmarker in between for example longish hills. either 2 things will happen; you will ride the same speed with lower heart rate What polar model do you have? or ride a faster speed with same heart rate.
  24. My 2002 Marzocchi Marathon S 100mm fork just received new bushes, seals, ECC cartridge, caps foot nuts, o-rings All and all almost a brand new fork. Now to get the cromo kona frame fixed up to fit it on to.
