Now that is what I was talking about earlier - don't badmouth other people publicly. I know Darrell and was shocked to see that his shop was mentioned - it does a lot for cycling and I have never heard anyone complain before about him or his shop.

It's the same. Not everybody has had good service from the same shops. At least there will not be a potential lawsuit or apology like we have seen on the past on this website!!!!!

I think a much better idea is to name the GOOD shops - at least then there is nothing negative which could come back and bite

Why don't you guys just do what I do - if you get bad service - don't complain - and don't go back! Why should I tell him that his service is up to cr*p - if he doesn't know it - he shouldn't get some free advice from me as how to improve his businesss

Try using a big gear into the wind so that your maximum cadence that you can pedal is about 65 rpm - it will have the same benefits and effect as climbing a hill

Get used to falling - it won't be the last time!

3 layers of duct tape on the inside worked for me - got me home and continued riding for a month before I replaced the tyre

The legs are longish - the same as most others I have - but I just pull them up a bit to move my tan line!!

I have been using No Sweat bibs for the last 3 years and they are still in perfect condition. Also have Panda, Velotex and Anatomic but prefer the No Sweats by far - will only buy them (or Pearl Izumi - just for show) in future

The combination frames are bonded in Treviglio, but the components still come from Taiwan

What this means is that there is a good chance that they both come out of the same factory!!

The aluminium frames are made by Hodaka in Taiwan and the carbon by Advance International Multitech in Taiwan

There is a fair chance that they come out of the same factory in Taiwan!

Bianchi are great bikes but you are paying about 5K for the name!!

I think they are wonderful - would never consider a 53/39 again. And you can keep your derailleur

The clicking has also driven me mad before - and it was coming from the bike behind me!

It seems to be common with look pedals - try Shimano instead

Check your cleats and pedals

So because other sports dope it's okay for cyclists?

You implied that ALL cyclists cheat - do you cycle - do the maths

Then you also cheat?

He should be banned for life - someone needs to be made an example of. Cheats should be thrown out of the sport for good!
