Interesting, I see race time for 1B and 1C is faster than 1A.....
Hi all
Sure this has been asked to death
Bought my first brand new dh bike last night and I want to do every safety measure to protect the frame.
Never owned a new bike so I didn't really care about cosmetic damage
now I'm to scared to even look at the New bike funny or it might scratch
What kind of options are there? All I know about is ams sticker kits but that costs alot. Ive heard of aerosol cans that coat the frame.
Any suggestions or advise
Thanks
Theres a guy in Cape Town that will VPS your frame. Clear protective film. Herman tel: 072765 3008
Car should have slowed down behind you, let the oncoming car through and then pass you safely.
You guys are funny.
1A no wind
Definitely a sub 3 if u stick with them

See you Hubbers there!
1A. What will their time be say with no headwind? Sub 3?
How is the injured cyclist doing? Hope he is ok.
PS Oh and it’s never personal
Roadie culture is embedded with eccentric behaviours, poker face expressions at intersections, a love-hate relationship with the wind, an important emphasis on the little details like sock length, aerodynamics and strength of coffee, as well as drafting etiquette as mentioned by @JWakefield
MTB culture is markedly different with ‘chilled vibes’ a high value marker.
It was a clash of two worlds.
Glad no punches were thrown.
I've been pondering on whether I should sell my mtb as I'm more of a roadie. Your post made up my mind for me. Thank you. I'm selling.
They are beyond useless. I have given up.
Delize was the first person to contact me (via e-mail) that my package has arrived. Some two weeks later I finally get an invoice from another person, promptly paid, and sent through proof of payment.
It has now been almost two months since my order was placed and paid for express shipping. Numerous phone calls (including the airport branch), more than 20 e-mails later, still nothing. This after they actually confirm in e-mail that the package will be released. I'm still waiting.
I have now e-mailed Chainreactioncycles and told them to cancel my order and ask their useless courier "partner" to return the package to them, as they are clearly not interested in delivering it to me. I also want a full refund. I'm awaiting their response.
Have they responded?

Cool, that sounds about right about A-Batch riding styles.
I might not be able to stick with the lead B-batch guy up Fox. So gonna start with A, pace myself up Fox and be ready to put in a big effort when B-batch comes past to latch on. At least then I should be able to clock B-batch finish time+5mins, which should mean a 10min improvement in finish time.
I ride this race a while back and it was a great race. I got dropped on a climb and the marshall in the car did not allow me to ride with the group coming from behind.
What size is the bike?
Sorry to hear. Glad you’re ok.
No actually have multiple different bikes with a wide variety of groupsets so reign it in a tad.
Even compared to previous iterations of Campy rear derailleurs (which some are works of art) this new derailleur is really REALLY bad. In a world where design is very driven by aesthetics and aerodynamics this looks like a complete fail - so on the point of whether it works or not it already has 2 strikes.
Agree. Over and above this comment is the fact that they changed the font on the new groupset that does not match the Bora wheels font and the brakes aren’t even labeled SR anymore on the SR level. Weird. Look at pictures of a bike with the 12 speed gruppo and Bora wheels to see what I mean. Does not like look right. That hole in the centre of the crankset is also missed. So after spending day 75K on a mech groupset with wheels your bike looks like a version from different-year model parts!
C64 Gold Private Collection
The braking system uses disc brakes with integrated cables in the stem, the groupset is Shimano Dura Ace Di2 11s, Srm Origin is the power meter with special carbon fiber rings developed with Carbon Ti.
The bottom bracket and the gear shifter are made in collaboration with Ceramic Speed while the wheels are Lightweight Meilenstein Obermayer Disc.
Colnago changed the font on their logo to a more "modern look". Does not make sense to do it now. They should have done it a year ago with the introduction of the C64, Concept and V2-R.

This one doesn't replace my stolen C50..... nothing esle could
Morph, where is the battery? In the seatpost or seatstay?
Ebikes are awesome and a nice training tool for recovery rides.

Hey people,
Just checking since last question was asked in June 2020.
Does Chain Reaction still use Skynet to deliver in South Africa? There was a time that they used the SA post office which is no longer suitable.
Thanks.
