I have been riding 2x9 cranks for over a year now. Certainly the way to go. Converting a shimano or truvative crank is difficult(chainrings are hard to get). A better option is to get a 2x9 crankset like Rotor, Sram XX, FSA.
def wheelset, those wheels are a tank. i might have a set of wheels for sale soon. american classic hubs, dt revolution spokes, brand new ztr 355 rims(waiting for rims to arrive). Wheelset weighs in at 1380 gr. Going to sell for R6000 if you keen.
These incidents are now happening far to frequently. I was Hit 3weeks ago while out training, driver drove off leaving me lying in the road. A taxi driver came to my assistance. I was extremely lucky to get away with just a concussion, severely bruised hips and roasties. It's a shame our roads are becoming death traps for us.
Get well Patrick!
full outers is the way to go. the trick is to use the correct cables. Use xtr inner cable along with xtr outer. xtr outer is known as sp-41 if u buying it off a roll.
The most important thing is that u do NOT lube the cable. by doing that you'll have perfect cables for atleast 4-6 months.
WOW,that is insane. One thing i know for sure is that taking your hand off the bars in a sprint "to regain balance" is impossible!!
I would to read the rabobank or barloworld press release on this!
