When I aproach dodgy areas or people I usually get it ready. I use the ones from YALE Security with the vecrom stram. It is strapped onto my stem for easy removal

http://periodic.phonelocator.mobi/ does not work with blackberry storm. Just tried it. There are however similar programs available, but as mentioned it's not the ideal tracker.

I actually like that feature. When I'm racing on the flats, I just lock the shock and it still absorbs the smaller bumps or when you hit a downhill and you forgot to lockout, this can be a lifesaver.

Yip. There is still some travel. Mine is the same. I'm not an expert on this, but I think that travel is controled with your floodgate(Something that can be adjusted on the fork at the lockout)

Thought about making my own a few months ago, but havn't got around doing it. Maybe I should make a prototype

If by post, you meen steerer then no steerer has a thread. The star nut you see in pic on the left is forced in there. To install such a starnut, you thread the bolt into the nut and wack it with a hammer in there.

Don't know. When I still used bar ends, I used them on my risers. I think it gives you a too upright position and makes you look like a funrider, because you're not in a racing position. That's if you buy into the whole "look" thing

Here's some of the unwritten rules(like roadies have): 1. No bar ends on a riser bar 2. No alluminium cages on a carbon bike 3. No saddlebag on a pretty bike 4. Remove all the reflectors 5. Don't use a camelback on rides shorter than 4hours Or is all of this bullsh!t

I think he means UST tyres because of their weight

Get a threadless headset. They have sealed bearings. Have a look on wikipedia for how they look

Won't the other people in the office laugh at me if I use it? I had one while still at varsity, but it exploded.

I liked my nevegals when I was riding in stellenbosch. But the sb8 has better rolling resistance. I would suggets nevegal up front and sb8 at the rear if you'd like to try Kenda

ditto. 3years and going strong

That one is a good choice at a good price.

He used a powerbalance

I'll be using kenda nevagals ust

Everything should be 8sp

what's wrong with the small block 8?

It is for multisport. Has nice features, like waterproof for the swim and automatic change between sports. Was looking at one, but I only run and cycle, so I'd rather take the RS800cx. You can buy an additional gps pod for around R1000 I think or there is a footpod. Reason for not buying 310xt - It's too big to wear as a normal watch and I prefer Polar.

how do i know which one to choose?

More serious: RS800cx Edge 705 Compression garments Light weight wheelset Double crankset (2x9) Upgrade to SRAM X.9 Parktool toolset

blackberry

I'm looking for a 2x9 setup. What do you think of this: http://www.bikeonline.it/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21_51&products_id=1797 Should I rather get cranks with an external bb, like these: http://www.bikeonline.it/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21_51&products_id=2047 If the second one, would the ceramic bearing upgrade be worth the extra 30 pounds?
