  1. What a legend
  2. Enve wheels. For real.? Are they used much by world tour teams? sponsors are clawing to get on the hottest team. Hope they paying a premium. Awesome bikes.
  3. Suspension can be the most expensive component on a bike. Its perfect set up is essential to getting the full benefit out of a bike, keeping you safe and having an efficient pedaling stroke. ive spend days and perhaps months researching the best suspension setup. and im still not 100%. with good quality suspension a few adjustments on a setting can make huge differences. i check my pressures b4 every ride. and tyre presure is the first signal that affects suspension tuning. Ive paid huge amounts of money for a very good bike and suspension, it make sense to understand it and get the most out of it. the internet is full of really good information, pinkbike is a great starting point for info. body weight plus psi is a shot into space. with FOX products ive found there tech manuals are a pretty good starting point but should be checked and adjusted to suit your riding. and Apple has the APP.
  4. For fox products, the shock or fork MUST be in the DECEND mode. this is most important. to set sag. as decend mode is air pressure only suspension. With RLC older fox set up, reduce low speed compression to lowest setting. for a XC style ride with 80 - 100mm travel fork, consider 15% max on sag setting. longer travel maybe 20% sag. once you know your pressures, i right it ont the shock. so that i dont forget. essential reading see below and also any other pinkbike tech tuesday http://www.pinkbike.com/news/To-The-Point-Rebound-Damping-2013.html
  5. Interresting article with him in one of the latest mags. I cant find it now!!?
  6. Ive used crank brothers for a while. 1st set used a combo of bearings and a bush. The bushing side is not well sealed. Im now using candy with roller bearings. Fantastic pedal and never had mud issues preventing me to clip in or out. Check http://bicicletta.myshopify.com

  8. USN website suggests how they stand on contaminated supplements. It does happen and basically the teams they sponsor and individuals they endorse, the product comes out of a very specific factory. Im assuming tighter controls and QC. For example to manufacture a hydration drink uses a large variety of raw materials. More than likely from a variety of suppliers from all over the world. It seams quiet possable mistakes happen. How sure are you that you do actually get that 24g of protein or what the container suggests. I recon not very often. Wasnt it recently a pro got done for some steroid indication. They found it came from meat he had eaten. Its every where. Mistakes and contamination do happen. Let the investgation run its course.
  9. Wish there was some way of keeping the public in the loop. What is happening. What is the process. Hansie... I mean Daryl has the entire south african cycling fraternity supporting him.
  10. Contact coolheat. They are the distributor.
  11. What a bike..... B4 gutting the price check what is on it.. ENVE full, chris king, Fox 40s .................................A canondale F29 0 is 130k for a hard tail
  12. i had the same thing, i think it may have had something to do with an update via internet. I send it back on warranty and they replaced it without a question. edge 500
  13. Santa Cruz is the only way. i have LTc wife has TB2. Maybe not as race spec as Vipa.
