Cool, like the tips on bicycling, just not as stupid

What about an indoor trainer with something attached to it? This is a sucky post by me, but play around with it

It also helps a bit if you have an idea from who you're buying it from. My roadbike I bought from nochain, who rides for cyclelab sub-vet I think MTB frame I got from TarmacGT-SL3

If it can happen to carbon it can happen to allu. I own two second hand carbon frames. road and mtb Your choice, but if I can save many thousands by going second hand I'll take it

Maybe they are doing some bunch riding skills

have you heard the beautifull sound from tapping on a carbon frame?

have you done your homework and search for it? If you did, then tell us what your findings are and we'd give some insight. BTW, if i had the money and i was doing downhill, I'd buy a downhill carbon bike

This is getting out of hand. WHy did i even click on this thread. oh why oh why

If your bike has some wacky colours, then I think it could look awesome. BUT, if it doesn't match it would look kinda cheap/shitty

Do you remove the YBN links without pliers mampara? Luckily next to the road we usually don't need to remove link. Just add them

They tell you a 10sp link is not removable, but I remove the 10sp link on my campag record chain with pliers. Not that difficult either. If you get the link to fit correctly, then it shouldn't be a problem. Try to get the YBN 10sp links next time.

Will give it a read thanks edman. Maybe I should have stated that they will be used on low profile Ambrosio Crono F20 32 Hole rims. Will probably use them in hilly or windy races.

Is it the vittoria pit stop sealant? I see wiggle has them, where did you buy yours? If I currently ride 700x23c, should I get 23c again or do i go for a narrower width

How do I choose the tyre width? I ride 23 in clinchers

@Shade, looks like the Vittoria Pitstop could be the answer to a flat. Have you tried inflating with the pitstop and then a bomb after it sealed? 100PSI is kinda low, but luckily I'm in the region of 65kg

Was thinking of going tubeless, but I just bought a set of tubbies from desmondalie for a good price. Thought I should at least try them out to see what the fuss is about. I know guys always say it's a big issue if you get a flat, but I've only has 1 flat in the last year and during a race if you get a flat it's over anyways.

BUMP for Tech Q&A

You're a few years to early. Been working for Eskom for 2 years now and interested in wind power. Wind is huge in Europe. They plan on having about 20% of their power from wind in 2020 if I'm not mistaken. Anyway, don't think I have enough experience to apply as Project Manager. Damn

HAve a look on ebay. I've found them to be one of the best suppliers of bike bling.

Getting my first set of tubbies and got some questions. This may be a shimano-sram-campag(which is best) type of question, but which do you guys prefer: The tape or glue. It seems like the tape is much easier to install, but what if you get a flat during a race/ride? What type of tubular tyre is best for use as a spare, ie which would install the easiest and quickest during a race?

Don't suppose this is my blackburn delphi 5.

Races are expensive Inusc. Don't know this race, but when I enter a race I don't expect any freebies. It's nice to get them though. If they promises singletrack and there weren't any, then that's something to complain for sure. That's why I enjoy Babbas Lodge mtb race every month. For R100 you get a medal, juice, banana and t-shirt. That's value for money.

Not an expert, but it depends on the terain and weather. If it's a hilly race, then lower profile. For flat courses, go deep section. With heavy side winds, you don't really want deep section. Dont think your weight has anything to do with it.

Nice bike. I would shorten the brake hoses
