Bummer. Thanks for the detailed info. Now I see the logic behind the failure. I suppose I can put my old rims back on, but the mavic's look so cool...

It seems CWC only have disc brake pads

Thanks, will check them out! My normal rim wranglers really just bring me to a gradual halt. Sometimes that's not enough!

Hi all I bought mavic ceramic rims, but my v-brake pads don't want to stop me. I'm scared of ending up like Evans! What pads should I get? So far I heard that there are avid rim wranglers (green compound) for ceramics, but CRC don't have. Anything else? Cheers

+1?

No bargaining should be required. I agree. If you don't like the price, don't buy it.

For eyewear go to Sports Vision

I agree. Branding is one of the best con-jobs in the business. T-Shirts with Billabong big on the front are more expensive than good t-shirts without a brand. Cycling kit that looks sponsored is another example. Just plain silly...

apparently cellphone texting is the big problem. It causes by far the most accidents.

I whish he was a good friend of mine too...could do with a little trip!

Hehe...hubbers ftw!

I won the VoriBerg race a while ago. Didn't believe it, but then later found out that the 2 guys in front of me took a wrong turn...

hindsight is 20-20. When the race was announced everyone was overly excited about the route, including the sandton section. Now, everyone always knew it wouldn't work. Nobody could foresee this happening. I'm sure they will learn from the mistakes.

I'm over it.

Lol, a bit unfair. I think "Misunderstood attempted purchase".
