  7. Hi Hubbers Im pretty neutral at the moment and no particular favorite bike at the moment. (I have a Argon 18 tribike and so my favor does lie there! But its just slightly more than the trek on the deals im looking at.) In the 3 bikes the Trek has the one up componetry! and cheapest by R2k. Argon is a brand new frame!! And components!! Thanks to awesome deal from cycle matrix! If you had to choose and the little more money wasnt a prob. Which bike/frame would you go for?

    Frame Siza

    Its a road bike. Thanks guys! Yup i am a Small - Medium frame. Just i can get such a awesome deal on a Large bike. One model up and better components! for same price. But at least i get a brand new and can chose my frame on the other bike. Thanks guys! looks like gona go for the new and choose the correct frame. So a small would be better?
  11. Hi I am a Medium frame size. (1.74m) I can get a great deal on a Large frame. I can still get the seat height to be correct and with a very short stem, witch i can get i can get the handlebars correct length to. Will this be ok? Are those the most important things? or is the other geometry really important? Please help? Thanks
  12. Hi my younger brother has a shoe SIZE 13! He would like to buy some racing shoes for triathlon/Biathle etc. He really likes the Nike Lunar lite! But cant find any or any other decent pair of running shoes. Any suggestions? The only problem, we are in East London. So a small town. Let me know. Thanks
  13. I used a 50mm deep section with the disc and a normal rim with the tri spoke. Hadnt bought the deep sections yet. Those look awesome but R19k?? To much for me. Thanks
  14. Thanks EricV! Hey Guys any more views?? Tri Spoke or Disc? If Disc is faster why do some pro's have deep section others tri spoke and some disc?
  15. Hi Guys Ive been told by all that a Disc wheel is much better than a tri spoke. It is more aero dynamic and will help in winds against you and in winds with you? I tried a disc wheel in the full iron man and i regreted it. I just some how felt that the tri spoke i used in the half was better! or better suited for me? Is it because i am not good enough or just not used to it or just on the day i would of felt the same with the tri spoke in PE? My Avg speed was 32km/h on both has speed got anything to do with it? In general i have a slow cadence and i know i kneed to pick this up. Just giving you all the info so the pro's out there can help me make my mind up? Thanks!
  16. I have just started using Whasp and its a great product!! Works Well!!! About the gels and energy drinks and all the stuff that will have long term side effects?? All I can say is use everything in moderation. Agentgreen has a valid point and so does Colin H. Use everything in moderation. I do how ever favour agent green on the people who use all this stuff everyday for training
  17. Hey All, a question about carbon fibre frames? How many years do they last and do they go soft after some time. (Loose there stiffness??) What you think of Stevens frames?? Want to buy 2nd hand so wont have any warranties. Are they a quality lasting brand? Please can some of the pro's and knowledgable people help out and avise Thanks
  18. Is there a website where I can purchase PVM Nutrition from? Sportsmans Warehouse are the only people I seen sell it? Can you guys please help? What you think of there stuff? Comments please? Thanks
