  1. Most importantly, make sure the clamp is the right type... It needs to fit carbon rails, which are normally not round, but squarish... So the ideal clamps are from top to bottom, but side pressure clamps like the ritcheys have additional clamps that need to be purchased for carbon rails. And don't forget to use carbon paste and a torque wrench!
  2. They say the carbon posts absorb more road vibration and are slightly less harsh, but having ridden both kinds, I find weight isn't very different if they're good quality, and the ride isn't the most noticeable difference either. If you can afford it, go for carbon, but only so that it satiates the desire. Otherwise, I think it's more like the 2% difference in my opinion...
  3. Nice to see Janse van Rensburg there! And great to see this will be broadcast! Looking forward to an amazing paris-nice! And that climb... Holy crap...
  4. Why don't you see a doctor about this? Also, since you've played with your fit, go to a fitting expert to get properly fitted to the bike... It's worth it for most pain and discomfort.
  5. Does anyone have a different link? None of my devices has flash player...
  6. So you're saying all day?
  7. Solomons have great deals on assos bibs for anyone wondering...
  8. Gees I hope so too! Let's hold thumbs... Excited for the season!
  9. Any dstv coverage for any of these? Always the coolest to watch!
  10. I would only assume ventilation...
  11. Spez romin carbon
  12. I tried those noodles once... They tasted terrible.
  13. Just replace the pedals? The new look blade 2s are out and they are super droool worthy! Plus with black pedals you don't need to change anything. Strip the wheel decals completely for the all black look and black bar tape and saddle. Will look hella sexy.

  15. Hang on here Zatek... While I feel for you and it is a bit ***, aren't these the same wheels you've been trying to sell on these very classified? Or swap deals offered too? Now, I'm pretty sure you never stated any of the problems you had in those ads... I dunno man...
  16. It only broke because you left it on. It actually did you a favour. Take it off, and be happy you don't look like a noob anymore!
  17. Nah man... If it's never been ridden, a brand new one is a lot more than 25k. Although remember that losing the chance of a warrantee or local backup is very risky so that's a lot of value gone... Good luck man
  18. I understand what you're saying but did you think that maybe they aren't looking or you to give them what they could themselves seek, but rather to put out there that a willing buyer is looking for something fairly open ended? I put a wanted ad up for an indoor trainer a couple of months back. Someone replied with his, which he wanted to sell. He hadn't posted it, but it was great and exactly my thought about price. I bought it. Just because it's not posted in the classifieds, doesn't mean it's not for sale. Again, relax
  19. Hang on there cadence blur... What exactly do you expect a newbie to have in his wanted ad? Specific geometry he's looking for? Each component specified? I can see by the replies on the adverts themselves you're quite sarcastic and a little bit mean, but think back to when you knew nothing - could you write a better wanted ad? Relax man... If they find a bike, good for them. If not, leave it alone. It's ads like these that the hub actually thrives on, I think...
  20. Feel better now? Is it all out?
  21. Well the rims are bigger... Ahem
  22. 29er specific bib shorts 29er specific bars 29er specific bottle cages 29er specific garmins (the wheel size messes with the speed measurement) (with 29er specific heart rate straps) 29er specific lock on grips I see massive holes in the market.
  23. So how old is he exactly? Shouldn't you be far more careful of what sites he has access to if he's clearly such a liability? You're in the wrong here. Be a grown up and let your "child" be one too.
  24. Mh name is Joss Turner, and I am a proud member of the Non Greeters Club. To the rest of you, if you're out on the road: F*** Off.
