Hi I'm installing a compact groupset on a carbon frame that has a fixed front derailleur hanger. The problem is that even in the lowest position in the vertical slot of the hanger, the gap between the biggest chainring and hanger is 3-4mm, while the recommened gap is 1mm. Except for (carefully) filing the slot lower, any alternatives or other people that had this issue? thanks

vir 'n oomblik kwaai gewonder oor watter lens jy hier gebruik het

well done Ronelle, glad you are fine deep, deep inside you know it was fun I was looking at some of the pics and wondering HOW did you get there. If the route was the same as last year & if you did 100% of the route I'm really really impressed!

Hi W-PE, its Dublin Spend a couple of days in the Burren (West Coast) and attempted a bit of MTB. Not recommended, salt on highway that splat on bikes and also taken out by the missus : (next time bikes stay at home) http://lh5.ggpht.com/_S-w3OhLoCSw/Szfh-sszAfI/AAAAAAAAF0w/3TDPA4ikIPk/s800/BurrenKersfees%20020.jpg

Thought I share this, had so much fun on my way to the office this morning. The smoothest slides I ever experienced - required a couple of repeats http://lh5.ggpht.com/_S-w3OhLoCSw/SzEF34PgDFI/AAAAAAAAFxY/GSjYxoJzau0/s800/RypOpPadNaWerk%20003.jpg

I like the (new?) Flandria yersey

one lean FanieFiets there! Ronelle, awesome! I feel like a scratched bit of vinyl saying it every time, but the 'wow' moments really deserve it...

very nice ML!

I agree with this so much. Show appreciation to nice actions from drivers where possible & safe. Tomorrow they will do even more. straatvark2009-10-15 16:05:46

For Tuscany MTB/touring, look at this as well: http://www.terresienainbici.it/index_eng.asp Basically the route(s) of the Erocia that are made more accessible to English speaking cyclo-tourists the last year or two. For the Como lake district look at this: http://www.cicloviadeilaghi.it/home.jhtml Maps (1:250000, 1:50000) are also available as pdf's there, but also in hard copy in tourist offices. Probably more road than MTB but a special place to visit is the Madonna del Ghisallo and the bicycle museum there. You might even have a beer with RH Sourthern Alps (Alpes-Maritimes) MTB: http://www.randoxygene.org/pge/rando_vtt/rubrique_rando.php?rubrique=2&zone=1 There is 30 MTB routes (from 2 hours to 5 hour traverse routes) in a booklet available. I cant find a pdf copy on the web site, but I'm sure you can email them. Ask for "VTT2008 - Les Guides Randoxygene". It contain route and profiles info. Be warn, it is not flat The area is from JLA's Col La Bonette in the north to looking over Monaco in the South: http://lh3.ggpht.com/_S-w3OhLoCSw/Sr-5IRoK_JI/AAAAAAAAE_k/tW7QxMHo-p8/s800/IMG_5274.JPG http://lh5.ggpht.com/_S-w3OhLoCSw/Sr-7tVV0u8I/AAAAAAAAFEE/3djkPOtGKkc/s800/IMG_5342.JPG

Uhmmmm' date=' yes they do. When you say the name Raleigh here they guys get all misty eyed and think of the glory days of Peter Post's TI-Raleigh team. Tour legends like Joop Zoetemelk and others like Jan Raas and Gerrie Kneteman won big races on the CAMPAGNOLA(!) equiped Raleighs. Unfortunately Raleigh no longer sells top end bikes in most countries (excluding SA and Ireland), so the brand is more remembered for its past glories. ...just had a phonecall from my LBS. They managed to find the weird headset bearings for my Raleigh. Very happy! Not standard stock here...[/quote'] maggies! I did not see one yet, but just learned on www.raleigh.ie that my LBS have a Raleigh rental tandem. Kan jy nou meer....! < id="gwProxy" ="">< ="jsCall;" id="jsProxy" ="">

Probably the SA pro that I respected the most and he certainly deserve his place in the "Madonna Del Ghisallo" church. RIP Ryan. http://lh6.ggpht.com/_S-w3OhLoCSw/Sr-_Hkn4TgI/AAAAAAAAFJw/cmrWLx147FM/s800/EuropaVakansie%20267.jpg < id="gwProxy" ="">< ="jsCall;" id="jsProxy" ="">

Nee man Fanie, weet dis nie lekker nie, maar jy is dalk bietjie hard op Polar hierso? Jy kan dalk se^ hul is nie ingelig oor wat on SAPO aangaan nie, maar hul diens was altyd baie perfek en hul gee altyd meer as wat mens voor vra, sonder om jou meer te laat betaal.

Yes, from that smile it is clear that Lance say something about her pink shoes

Very nice Ronelle. Amazing how dark it was at the end - some interesting effects... Also thanks for that background, ai dis 'n mooi berg <sigh> Colonel, you went a bit in the red zone tonight?

Very nice Ronelle!

I got this from the Irish "thehub": there was a few kids getting involved yesterday. i overheard one of them (about 10 year old on her mini bike) say to her dad (i assume)..."daddy, does the man know we are cycling in circles?"
