  1. I noticed that the geometry and frame design is the same as the Planet X's so thought I'd try to save a rand or two by getting an unbranded one if I could.
  2. Has anyone bought one of these before, and if so, were you able to have it shipped to SA? http://cgi.ebay.com/Carbon-Triathlon-Time-Trial-Road-Bike-Frame-Fork-TT-54_W0QQitemZ370252086518QQcmdZViewItemQQptZRoad_Bikes?hash=item5634be7cf6&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
  3. Gawenator you legend, I'm definitely interested, will send you a pm with pics asap. Thanks for all the input guys-I've learnt a few things if nothing else.
  4. Ok, misunderstood you...so where would I get a floating guide pulley from?
  5. And this floating guide pulley you are talking about is the device Velo pointed out I assume?
  6. Ok, thanks Kiwi, so you reckon the indexing on Dura Ace shifters will work as well with a Centaur Derailleur and Record Cassette?
  7. Ok, sounds like a less expensive option...excuse my ignorance, and it might sound like a stupid question; but how would I go about doing that?
  8. Thanks velo!
  9. Anyone know for sure?
  10. I think I know the answer to this one but is there any chance one could use Shimano bar end shifters with a Campag groupset? Campag shifters are so difficult to find and are damn expensive!
  11. To give you an idea, I could barely walk from shinsplints I got 2 wks before the Knysna Marathon. I was sceptical about chiro's, but went on the advice of some of my training partners and he found the problem to be in my pelvis...wierd hey... Two days after seeing him I could walk perfectly, there was absolutely no pain, and I completed the Marathon without a hitch... Give it a try, if nothing else it is really interesting to find out how interconnected everything is in one's body.
  12. Go to a chiro, I go to an excellent one in the Durbanville area who specialises in athletes; he sorted out all of my issues. www.capechiro.net
  13. What can I sell a new 105 10 sp groupset for? (i.e. never been ridden, taken off a brand new bike) Thanks
  14. I know no-one uses v-brakes anymore, but someone must have an opinion at least...
  15. Thanks!
  16. If I wanted to put a Campag groupset on one of those new Planet X frames, which would be the BB and cranks to go for, English thread?
  17. I am looking at my options for a set of v-brake cross country wheels and have two options; which is the better one to go for, the Mavic Crossmax SLR or the DT Swiss XR4-1?

    Shorts

    Where is the best and cheapest place to get buy Assos or Vermarc shorts in Cape Town or Jo'burg?
  19. Great plan, thanks very much!
  20. I obviously didn't measure properly and my new seatpost is slightly too narrow for the frame, is there some sort of spacer I could use to solve the problem, or do I have to get a new seatpost?
  21. 115g-not too bad I guess... Think I may give the Kenda's a bash, they're quite a bit cheaper anyway.
  22. Thanks for the advice, how much extra weight are we talking about on the Kenda's compared to the Maxxis?
  23. Seeing that the topic is MTB tyres, does anyone have thoughts on the Kenda Smallblock 8?
