what about the American Classics you get on the Fuji Chrispy, buying those separate will set you back R4k easy(if memory serves me right)

Fuji nice if you're after weight saving...just check your SA Bicycling Mag for specials.

then why don't you just remove your breaks...it'll then weigh 0 gramssmileys/smiley4.gif ha ha ha, mayeb put in that back pedal thingy....mmmm not a bad idea...

...that's a road on CVANC, we talking Mtb. You told me about the XTR onces but I think Avid should be cheaper.smileys/smiley9.gif

...cuz then I don't have to adjust my stupid brakes every time I take the front wheel off. I swear, I just tjuned it perfectly, double check buy braking a few times, then take wheels off, put back on and guess what, it's touching one side again. Those I want pulls both sides like a Road bike and I've never had problems with them, that why

This is one thing I would consider buyingsmileys/smiley4.gif

Dunno, maybe I should also look at buying a few tools, would help with the Mtb'ing. Let me know if you want to split import costs??

the roubaix has I'm told a very smooth ride not like the S-WORKS Tarmac.

I got my Specialized S-Works Frame for R13k Newsmileys/smiley4.gif try Helderberg in Somerset Wes

New they go for R13k last time I checked, should be cheaper now....maybe.

...

mmmmm so true...we could always ram one of those cash in transit vehicles It's been picking up in popularity since last couple of years...

<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> But like the guys say, spending thousands of rands on a weight saving of 400-600grams are silly except if you have spare cash laying around or having a mid life crises, this is in no way shape or form directed at Cruxiesmileys/smiley2.gif I wish my almost sponsor would buy me some pretty bling bling wheels?.that's the only way I'll ever have somesmileys/smiley19.gif

All wheels are ugly compared to a nice pair of deep section Cardon whatever?s. I doubt your wheels are that light. Wheel sets are mostly in between 1000g ? 2000g per pair. I would say anything lower than 1500 is a good weight.

..we heard you the first time Drivetrainsmileys/smiley36.gifsmileys/smiley2.gif

weight must be good, it's one of the few area's on the bike you can save a lot on. Aerican Classics are light weight and not to expencive imo.

I also ride the 420 AC?s , have the one?s with the bladed spokes. If you are a bit bigger get the one?s without the bladed spokes, it?ll be stronger (I?ve read). I weigh in at 74kg?s and when I bunny hop now and again the wheels ?flex?. <?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> I?ve broken 3spokes but it only broke after hitting big holes, so since I?ve bought the bike, that?s how long now, 5months?? Not happy with the Spokes and not happy with the Nipples, I?ve already saw a few has disintegrated. But other than that it?s a nice affordable lightweight wheel set. I?ll only trade them in for a pair of Carbon deep sections.
