  1. And everyone is running for XX,wait there are big things comming.
  2. Seen on one of the forums a while back XTR electric but cant find the link now.
  3. Cant wait,can you? http://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=68108
  4. My team mates bike not mine unfortunately.Only one in the country i think.I dont think Spez are bringing in the red one.This is the one Contador will be riding by the way.Can't tell you the weight but it is NOT legal.That funny bar tape is Fizik.It actually comes like that in 2 colours.
  5. mtb or road?
  6. How much they gonna pay me to go?
  7. I thought it would be a bit lighter.The Flash weighs 1080g with seatpost clamp and bottle cage bolts.
  8. How nice is this?
  9. Saddles are very personal.I think Specialized make CRAP saddles.Forget about body geometry etc.Never heard of a cyclist complain about a sore nob but plenty about sore but.I personally think Fizik make the best saddles and i'm sure they will have something in thier range that will work for you.I ride the aliante on my mtb and my roadbike and with a couple of epics etc have never had a problem with my ass.
  10. Are you serious??? I just bought the 2010 SL3 and have the carbon arione CX saddle. Building it next week. Maybe i'll get a better seatpost. Easy to fix,you just have to make the part of the post that clamps the saddle rails a bit bigger so the bigger rails on the CX will fit.
  11. If the arione cx is one of the new ones with the thick carbon rails the seatpost clamp has to be modified.Basically the rails are too big for the clamp so the inside of the clamp has to be filed away a few mm or it wont be able to clamp the rails properly.
  12. Agree,try use only for racing NOT all the time.Try and eat more on the bike.I used to use all those things including GU.The problem is after time it starts to effect your teeth.Dont laugh,My teethy are starting to fall out(or rather not as strong as they used to be)and i am sure its the constant high sugar content of all that crap in your mouth.Water and food i say m2c
  13. Great will have my mountain bike built in about a week.Keen to join in ,if i can keep up.Been a while since i've been on the MTB.What time do you leave?
  14. I have been going over and over this bike but still cant find ANY good points. Sorry but i think it is ugly. Price only 2 year warranty(for that kind of money i would expect lifetime extended untill my grandchildren) 1.8kg(heavier than a 4K carbon frame And it gets POOR reviews in the ratings. So why would you want to buy this? stringbean2009-12-28 11:19:38
  15. Also CT.PM me your adress and i'll send them to you for FREE or better yet,next time you are sitting at the robot in your car and that dude comes and knocks on your window for something to eat give him 5 bucks and say its from STRINGBEAN.Serious just pm me your adress.
  16. So do you want the ti v brake mounting bolts or not?
  17. Got some titanium ones if you like.
  18. Who still rides V brake?
  19. Dude there is no such thing as medical aid rate and a lot of people don't understand this.A few years ago there WAS a book that was renewed every year by the Health Professional Council that gave rates for the doctors for private and medical aid patients.It was in writing and that was what doctors HAD to charge.This book was then opposed by the MEDICAL AID COMPANIES who said that this book meant that there was price fixing.(This is where all went wrong because i believe in some situations price fixing is good)The HPCSA lost the appeal and since then may not publish fees but only a guidline of rates.Medical aid rate now is the rate the medical aid Feels that they should pay the doctor and then you have the rate what the doctor feels he should get.There is NO set rate that the doctor MUST charge because that is now considered price fixing.More and more doctors are not even dealing with medical aid companies and asking patients to pay up front.Remember you dont have to go to that doctor,you can go to another one if you are not happy.You dont take you bike to your LBS,ask for a full service and then complain about the bill when you fetch the bike if you didn't ask HOW MUCH before hand.
  20. Why you looking for one?just gone and bought yourself a 29er have you
  21. Has this case set a precident?Can anyone import and sell shimano and campag now as well.PLEAAAASE someone do this,those 2 companies are raping the industry.
  22. Are you serious?They full of sick people dude,they the worst place to be.As in the case of the kid,remember your skin is the biggest organ of your body(no jokes please)and without it you are VERY prone to infection.
  23. Do you think if i as PPA they can tell me where all the money has gone?With over half/mil in entry fees plus whatever the sponsers had to put in they got a nice kitty.NO prisemoney,NO luckydraw,EXPIRED goodibags.So where did all the money go.Someone lined their pocket,who was it?
