Thinking of building parts over to a new road frame, Giant TCR Advanced. I have discovered that the new frame takes a press fit BB and also comes without a headset. I have ultergra 6700 groupset and would like to know what press fit BB will suite the frame best since I have no experience on this. Also what will be a decent head set ...... and what should I roughly pay for these items. Looking for fairly decent items but not over the top since I have ultegra and not dura-ace ... Thanks

using it on XT

so ... after some time of riding i have decided to get myself some swiss stop pads for the mtb after tying out many brands including XTR. i have to say these pads are AWESOME after a ride in the mountain. i'm a heavy rider and have always struggled with braking perfomance until now. crc had a special and were selling these for R175 a set .... what a bargain.

mmmmm you can only really vote if you have all of the above ..... else ... any of the above will do as long as its downhill

Many of you hubbers have two sets of wheels for the road, training set and racing set. So ..... What tyres do you ride on your training set and why ...? What tyres do you ride on your racing set and way ...? I have to replace tyres and your knowledge will help, both sets are clincher.

nope i got pointed in the wrong direction about 3km from the finish ....when i reached a section we did earlier the day i got worried. i did see some guys early in the race going in the wrong direction but i followed other riders that knew the route. wish i had them with me towards the finish ......

thanks to a marshal i did an extra 7km on the 32km route. not happy about it since i was trying to do a "good" time.

f@rk meeee, feel like i have to put training wheels on my bike ..... these guys have seriaaaas skill.

Hi Guys, Why dont WE do something about it and get involded as suggested in a previous post. We can all complain, that is easy ..... why dont we get up and tackle the problem.......? The CoCT made moola available to built the infrastructure and to create a safer environment for our families, so why dont we invest some time till the new landscaping settle.

jip no problems with my 800cx and sure is a leka toy. using it on both bikes and never had issues with interference from other users in big events.

im ride a cheap no name - frame, seatpost, handle bar and fork set me back about R3800 and all in black carbon. riding since december 2009 and going like a bullet train...........

naaais :-) is that the seat post you got with the package deal?

hi guys thanks for the help. sounds like i have a little project for the weekend. which leads me to the next question, what "make/brand" works the best and is the easiest to install. sounds like i have to go for stans? any other makes/brands any good? will do my homework and see where i can get a good deal in cape town.

Hi guys, I?m thinking of going tubeless on my mtb. I have got DT Swiss X455 rims and maxis cross mark tyres. <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> What do I need, where do I get it, and what will it cost me? Do I need to get new tubeless tyres or can I do a conversion with the existing tyres seeing as they are still new. Your help will be appreciated.

can get them for about R4,5k from Avron in Saltriver

thanks for the advice. i can get the eastons new for R4,2k but will roei en stoei to get it down even more. so the easton compare with the black mavics. do you get dodgy imports i better be careful then since its not from a shop but a private deal.smerds2009-01-16 02:16:23
