The only issue I have with mine is the overly pointy shape of the visor - kind of defeats the objective of having a visor in the first place. Other than that - very happy with the helmet.

If you can, get the Anthem. IMO its still the best bang for your buck FS 29er.

Loving my Giordana Silverlines. Not as high quality as my Assos but a steal at half the price. Sorry - no experience with Vermarc.

How unlucky is that - to be a dead ringer for Andy Schleck - bummer!

Best Nissan Series Event of the past 2 years from an organizational point of view - excellent!

Oh well - I figured it was worth the risk, although with the Rand plummeting?? The BC edition looks like a perfect companion for the Highball - looking forward to trying one

Here's a reply I received from Hullabaloo earlier today... First shipment will be in around mid September No set pricing at the moment as this will be determined by exchange rates and logistical costs at time of shipping. But here is a rough estimate 999 RSL R 82 000.00 970 RSL R 49 000.00 970 BC Edition R 48 500.00 950 RSL R 37 500.00

Point taken - I keep the wheels on the ground most of the time. But, they've taken me through Berg & Bush and a few other fairly gnarly events without complaining. Manufacturers rider weight limit is 107kg so hopefully I can stay out of ICU...

Everyone on this forum keeps saying the American Classics are "soft" but I've ridden mine for over a year with absolutely no issues and I weigh 98kgs on a good day. I think it all depends on your riding style...

I really struggle with trainers and motivation. Regular spinning classes seem to work better for me over winter - just choose your instructor carefully (i.e. an actual cyclist rather than a gym-spinner). I have one of these barely used for a steal if you're interested and can collect - http://85.18.107.137/elite/jsp/c-Prodotti.jsp?ID=0011056

Or, if you have one, get the iPad edition for about ZAR50, or 13 issues for around ZAR330 - great way to buy an excellent mag...

I know I'm in the minority here but I could never get on with the Gobi.

I think the GEAX tyres fit Stan's Rims better than they fit American Classics - its a real battle with teh AC's.

Always worth the trip

Very sorry to hear that - at the ver least I hope you get the other bikes back and can prosecute the perps.

http://www.bikewear.co.za is great if you know your size

Please post a pic when its done

I think around 1800g is fair for a "strong-enough" 29er wheelset...

Spokes and nipples?

Enve Rims on Industry Nine hubs

OK - I'll have a go at my dream build for your frame... Sid World Cup 15mm tapered fork Full XTR 2x10 Enve Bar, Stem & Seatpost Enve Carbon Rims on Industry Nine Hubs Schwalbe Racing Ralph Evo Snakeskin tyres ESI Chunky grips Saddle as appropriate...

Did the 40 last year - not hilly or technical (small hill towards the end).

Little off topic but does anyone know where I can buy American Classic hubs - want to build them up on some Stans Arch EX rims. Cheers

Oops - my bad
