  1. I have a question for all those who ride hardtail titanium frames. How much softer of a ride are they compared to your "cheapy allu frames?
  2. Giant ) best bang for buck,those anthems always fly past me on the downhills ( JPW#2009-01-09 08:07:07
  3. Bang for buck, the Giant duel sus wins by a LONNNNGGG way.
  4. Best is to sell privately and to buy via an agent.
  5. Reba best value, Sid , lighter , doesn't really matter too much its grams, but I would go rox rather than the other brands.
  6. Fanie must be on holiday!
  7. 350 each is a good price, they last forever I have 1 on the rear and 6000km and hardly warn and I'm 84kg, their not as stable as the 3000s, but then again you get more k's out of them.
  8. I have to give my 2 cents, I have a friend who rode 70 000km on a pair of XT rims, so they must be great rims, as for Mavic, they must pretty much on par with XT, I personally like the "look and feel" of Mavic more, thus I would go with the Mavic's I would go with whatever is cheaper, because the performance difference between the 2 wheels will be minimal, unless you go top of the line Mavic and spend 10k on a pair of wheels.

  9. Every time I see Nolan I think...wow....a darker version of M. Lange. Same style of riding track , def a road sprint king.
  10. 10 years ago, around 3k..... 2 days in hospital, bike was ok.
  11. Shimano could win the tour, Shimano parts are just as fast as Campy or Sram(and costs less), and LA and Conti might be out of the tour in the first week due to crashes...nothing is certain in cycling.... Just thinking out loud, if I had the money I would probably ride Campy too and pay 3k for a cassette hehe
  12. etv said they are holding the money back..until the 2 parties join in gov.
  13. JPW#

    headset play

    Also check your front disc, that its tight, happened to me once I thought it was my headset and it ended up being the disc that wasn't tight, they vibrate loose sometimes after hours in the saddle.
  14. Lance thinks that, Jan is the best athlete he has ever raced against, a guy with a resting heart rate of 24 when fit, its all about science, if Jan , trained like Lance he would have been unbeatable against any opposition even the likes of Eddy wouldn't have a snowballs chance, logic tells me that.
  15. I have 2 pairs or Specializies, they really the longest lasting shoes i;ve ever owned, and I used to own them all, (diadoras,sidi;johnluck,shimano,Nw ect)
  16. Eddy might have won the most races but you can't compare him with guys like Lance and Jan, they are freaks and would have beaten Eddy ...Badly x 1000 if they raced him on the day.
  17. pse return to your cave / bridge with all the other trolls hehe
  18. I would go 52cm even! depending on your age, older guys need smaller frames, lower back stiffens up with age. I'm 1.85 and 56 cm is my sizeJPW#2008-12-16 08:41:43
  19. hehe...yeah u googled it.
  20. Park don't make junk, but you pay a little "extra" tho.
  21. I've seen a U tube clip of Greg riding, the man is scared when he cycles downhill, over the big drops he says...WHOAAA(helmet cam) , seems like fear is your friend when you're the DH champ of the world, then again I must say, i'm not that scared but then again I haven't wiped out at 70km/hour off road yet!
  22. The only thing I hate about Ultegra is the blade wear, and its 600 bucks to replace a blade.... madness!
  23. GM is the fastest guy on 2 wheels down Table Mountain. Anyone know how much tickets are?
  24. Hehehe.....funny topic, funny but then again its not funny!
  25. Yip that's why I lock everything with wheels these days.
