  1. Cause I dopnt have stitching/glue so thats why!!! and I am using my clinchers but why I am unkeen is this. I have 4 sets of wheels my best (easten tempest) now have puncture my second best (shimano ultegra clinchers) dont have the right gearing my 2nd worst (Bontrager select) is completely buckled and im using my worst which I dont know what are called - come standard on a trek 100, have about 300 spokes and weigh a fortune...dunno hwo to change gears
  2. no way am I attepmting that, but thanks anyway, guess my race is screwed I've got a few sets of Clinchers for training, my tubbies are my racing wheels, only reason I was using them today was that was trying my new bike before my race
  3. well put spano
  4. I am racing tomorrow and I just got a nail through a tubular wheel, is there any way I can repair it??? URGENT NEED YOUR HELP THE HUB!!!!
  5. I agree with you100%. The + groupo was pickikng up the pace in the last few km and preparing for the fina sprint when we hit an ikntersection. I dunno what happened with the marshal cause he didnt do anything. Half the group shouted right while the other shouted straigvht. this ended up in 2 cyclelab academy riders going straight and the rest of the bunch going right, almost causeing a collision......split up the group at the ctucial stage or 1.5km to go
  6. maybe get a cleat setup from a cycle shop, cycle-lab gave me a nice one - no burning!
  7. are all races as bad as this?
  8. is that coinfirmed?
  9. twinney, youre an absolute TANK cyclist! love your fan club
  10. yeah, I really like it... I found it hard to find a nice second-hand madone or S3/R3
  11. I just recently bought an RC LTD and would just be curious as to how much you think it is worth. It's the blue and yellow Raleigh used by the MTN Energade pro team. Bought it secondhand from them after one season.... Full Carbonfibre (think aluminium seatpost and front fork) and full dura-ace with Shimano ultegra wheelset...full weight about 7.5kg. Price range?
  12. nah, Ive found the best way to kick off a new season after those long holidays.......FAST ONE!
  13. I love cervelos! and jules, it looks fast, but can only go fast powered by GROOT legs!
  14. terrible to hear of these instances.... Condolences to the family... But what does it mean to "play chicken"
  15. well I did same time in J so clearly my trek 1500 and yr cervelo R3 came down to the legs..... thought Ide let you all know times are up
  16. mmmmm...what bike u ride?
  17. ok, ive just been put in my place...
  18. a0 i am DAMN jealous, i want it BBBAAAADDDD!!!!!!!! and they idiots buying it, maybe u r one of them, there is a term 4 som1 like that...any1 know it?
  19. I know, Like im riding a trek 1500 and i just fly through my groups and then see these nog-schelppers at the back with these fancy bikes...actually cant! such idiots buy expensive kit and bike and think it will make them into the next jan ulrich
  20. I sincerely apologize to anybody whom this applies to but . . . Is it just me or does it really get to you when you see someone riding a cervelo S3 or a trek madone 6.9 going up a hill (2% gradient) at about 16km'h. It actually sickens me and I want to punch that person in the face! but maybe its just me... but how do you feel?
  21. firstly I want to wish you best of luck! you will prob be short of air but forget that. Even if you don't reach your goal (Which im sure you will, depending on your fitness level), Just have fun Floor it on the first bit and save energy for krugersdorp highway at the end. shouldnt change much of your food/drink intake of that you have used for training but go through about 1 bottle of energy drink every hour (I sip every 5 minutes) and have 1 energy bar/hour GOOD LUCK!!! see you at the finish line (if I get there )
  22. good luk
  23. well, coming from someone who has never used it. . .. I think that recommendation from the pros is good cause when I went to a talk about riding by malcolm lange I tried all the things he recommended and now I want to buy a raleigh just because he said so. It all brain-wash but it works.
