I HOPE you aren't not asking for a picture of his bum. Having said that, this is the photo forum...

Nice to see where thier priorities are! WTF?

Wow! Scraping the bottom of the barrel with insults like this...

'CT winter cometh...' It certainly has arrived!

Someone slaps you upside the head and says 'you should have charged it before the race!'

Got the matching helmet too

Awesome build and details. Have you hung it on a scale? PS. The fork lockout you have you your Flikr pages - I have seen that before. Is that from WeightWeenies?splat2009-05-13 02:36:09

Spending too much time in the sun in Afkakistan? 'This, from Remo?s restaurant, just outside Mount Edgecombe estate in Umhlanga.'

Depending on your wheelbuilder and spokes you use - about R200 + 32*R10.00 and upwards. New wheels are not necessary. But then since when are nice new things necessary?

I suppose they might be a bit corroded. You will most likely have to have the wheel rebuilt as it will just keep happening.

I spend a lot of time on that site window shopping and building fantasy bikes. There is nothing in my employment contract that says anything about bike porn...

Perhaps Competitive Cyclist can help you: http://www.competitivecyclist.com/mountain-bikes/components/formula/brakes.725.html They now supply actual vs claimed weights.

Interesting reading indeed. I often wonder how bike testers can comment on stiffness of cranks whilst riding. I dont understand that.

From Cyclingnews.com 'interested buyers shouldn't hold their breath. As of right now, only 10 sets of these wheels are currently in service and all of them are slated for the Liquigas, Ag2r and Silence-Lotto teams. Estimated cost is also yet to be determined but based on the construction, we would place it even a tad higher than the current Cosmic Carbon Ultimate, thus putting them around the US$3,000 mark - or more than US$3 per gram. Those kinds of numbers wlll be hard to justify to average consumers but that hasn't limited sales of other wheel exotica like Lightweight and Lew in the past.'

They dissolve in water They are the healthy option

Excellent! I hope this leads to more. I wonder if all the break-ins were connected?

This is a long drum roll...

You know things are expensive when 30k isnt bad. I said that about a complete bike in a shop the other day - now you are saying that for a frame. Eish!

What the Eff is Tiramic?

There is now a helmet to match!

Cutting them and re-connecting them may get a bubble into the hydraulic fluid, so unless you want to bleed them as well, a good bikeshop may be the way to go. You could also just ride them as is (unless you are hooking trees and small animals as you pass) and when your brakes need to be bled, have the cables adjusted in the same operation.

I think they come in different sizes, so check the shock length or eye to eye distance to make sure it fits properly. Check out this thread on Bike Radar: http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12585194&view=previous&sid=399c2d7c2649a13d5d3a208c729a6ba1splat2009-05-06 23:36:44
