  1. If you say the rotor is completely flat, then it might not be totally symmetrical? as in it's rubbing on the middle of the spring that separates the pads. So this: Could rub on this:

  4. Does anyone know who owns this beast?
  5. Not mine sadly found on the darkhorse FB page. But yip i would guess a commuter.
  6. In the weigh vs aero there are way to many factors to consider and every case is different. Bike weight Rider weight Gradient Rolling resistance Type of riding Level of rider Etc, etc, etc. One interesting article I read a while ago stated rolling resistance (tyres and road surface) was more important than weight, and weight only became more beneficial over 9%
  7. Saw this beast in the airport underground at the beginning of the year.
  8. That is sacrilege of the highest order only Campagnolo SR may grace that frame. Beg, Borrow, Steel On a serious note. I have been riding Ultegra DI2 for that last 18 months with no issues, the stuff is bomb proof. The on the fly adjust-ability is great and a big plus for me. The only thing to watch out for is if you leave the bike standing for a long period (a month or two) the computer seems to calculate remaining battery level on that rate of use, so you might get caught out on your next ride where it will drop in to small ring and you will only be able to use the rear derailleur. In reply to the guy's who have had it not working and stuffing up there race. If they are sponsored Pro's then I'm not surprised as a large number of them treat there equipment like $h!t as they not paying for it. I have seen It first hand and been the one that has to fix it. It also doesn't help when someone manages to crash in every race and bring down half the bunch. (This might not be the case). On "SwissVan's" point make sure it is wired correctly and nothing is rubbing, catching, pulling, etc. The key is doing the job right the first time. As for the washing. I would happily ride mine under water. First ride out the box 80km from home I got caught in one mother of a thunder storm and the "rain" if I can call it that was bucketing down from all directions. After that ride with no problems I was sold. Now when washing I use the hosepipe on full blast and have never had the slightest issue. every few months I do however out some grease on the battery terminals and it's good to go.
  9. Pretoria - Cyclists in the east of Pretoria say they are under threat from trigger-happy bicycle robbers following a spate of incidents in which one of them was shot in the arm, while another is lucky to be alive after a bullet hit his helmet and missed his head by a few millimetres. http://www.iol.co.za/news/crime-courts/pretoria-cyclists-under-siege-1.1596204
  10. Good luck to all the lucky buggers who are going on this trip, and expect to see video's of all of you hitting this. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10152396952422771
  11. I some how think the "Giant trance advanced 27.5 +- R58k" the OP is referring to is the Advanced 1 as I'm pretty sure the Advanced 0 is over 80k.
  12. bump
  13. No helmet either. obviously not much to protect.

  15. It was in jest, maybe should have added a few of these.

  17. I don't want to through a spanner in the works, but this has just popped in to my head. What about the flat spot where the tyre and the ground meet once rider weight is added? surly this will affect circumference by a few mm every rotation?
  18. I'm pretty sure one of the US Nationals/(other big race) was won on a Tallboy 2 this year. Over heard a conversation at World MXC Champs. I will say the course was properly rough.
  19. Was just going to ask why the heck your chain was so loose, then I realized it was half coming off.
  20. That Crank is starting to grow on me, looks a lot better on a bike.
  21. A Vipa with a CC DB Inline. After spending about 10 hours setting it up let me know how it rides.
  22. Morning Ride top of Fox Hill Afternoon Ride to QE Park Edit: Samsung S4
