i agree marius compition is good!! i placed an order with CWC yesterday and they delivered this morning at the same time i placed an order with buycycle so it will be interesting to compare the two now in terms of delivery!

alot of people have been raving about the service from CWC but this is ridiculous!! i placed an order online with them yesterday lunchtime and the package just arrived? this is amazing service!! to Chris and the rest of the guys WELLDONE GUYS

ohh my F@#$ thats hot!! i dont even want to know what this baby set you back but im sure every cent will be worth it!!

but then again you dont have to be a rocket scientist to ride a bike well i mean just look around here

aaahhh mampara i seems to have forgoteten about the famous chaindrop saga mind you that might be enough reason for him to change brand! thos DI2 shifters on the TT bike is flippen hot! even for shimano

all it needs is SRAM

dis my punt Ou groote! hulle laat jou dink dat jy belangrik is maar eintlik ry hulle jou bloods (speling?)

a week should be enough to taper Garfield dont just stop though just take it very easy! thats what i would do

Sharp Luke

agreed! only thing an IDT is good for is interval training

i think that its a personal thing! play around with different pressures till it feels right! but you have to be aware of bottoming out if you dont use enough pressure

wow caad4 that is a beaut!! not many of these around!! little red bits make it superhot!!

"hijack" THug is the Adamo saddle worth investing in?

you spot on! however doesnt the relevance of some research mean more than no research at all? i may be totally wrong here and please feel free to correct me if i am but USN is probably the brand with the biggest market share in sout africa correct? millions of rands are being spent on a product that to my knowledge has no peer-reviewed research published in a scientific journal. my point is this there are so many products on the market that we take for granted work. i for one am impressed (slightly) if i see someone at least trying to scientifically prove that their product works and not purely rely on marketing hype to sell their products

i see your point here Agteros but how many of the available sports nutrition/energy products have peer-reviewed research published in a scientific journal though?

that is always a possibility Thug! i always do when i remember to pack in the elastic bands

this is a tip that will make your transitions quicker and save your shoes leave their shoes in the pedals for the first transition (T1). After exiting the swim, put on your helmets, grab the bike and run out of the transition area. In order to keep the crank arms and shoes from rotating and jamming into the ground, use thin rubber bands to hold the shoes and the crank arms parallel to the ground. They attach one end of the rubber band around the shoe or through the heel loop of the shoe, and the other end to a rear stay on the side of the bike. Do the same with the other shoe. You will have to experiment to see which locations are best for your rubber bands depending on your shoe size and frame size. The thin rubber bands easily break away when you mount the bike and begin pedaling with your feet on top of your shoes. Slide your feet in your shoes once you are rolling at a good pace. at the end of the ride take your feet out of your shoes before the dismount area, freewheel in with your feet on top of your shoes... jump off the bike as you get to the dismount

the main difference is that a tri shoe usually has only one strap so it makes it easier/quicker to get your feet in and out, tri shoes arent going to make a difference to run in as you using the same cleats anyway, best thing is to leave your shoes clipped into your peddles for a tri anyway (so you run to the mount area barefeet) hence the one strap making it easier to get your foot in and out on the bike, secondly the tri shoes usually have a drain hole in front so the water can get out from the swim

i agree with you Agent, i have also built up a relationship with my LBS but dont you think that sometimes they take advantage of it? let me give you an example i went in one day to ask about a saddle (my bikeshop is owned by two brothers) so speaking to one he says the saddle costs R1900.00 the other brother hears the price and says "are you sure the price is the best price?" calculator comes out and the price drops to R1600 but i can get the same saddle online for R1200 so this leaves me thinking about all the bikes and accessories etc that i have bought through the years and if this "relationship" in a way lets your guard down?

the only downside to the lefty is the travel i think they limited to 85mm travel, the cannondale has SAVE technology in the rear stays wich makes it work pretty much the same as a wishbone suspension to they "say" it is equivalent to having a 1" rear suspension, i took the flash demo 29er out on a trail last month and was very impressed with the bike! it climbs like a mountain goat but i thought that it wasnt very nimble in the tight stuff eg switchbacks etc where i thought the bigger wheel caused a gyroscopic effect! it might just be me though! all in all i think this is a fantastic bike and would buy one in a heartbeat!! there is a flash 29er aluminium option too that sells for 20k and isnt alot heavier than the carbon X9 2x10 spec

hey if sergio Garcia and lleyton hewitt use it it MUST work

this is the next big thing guys get on board early!! http://www.phitenusa.com/c-1-accessories.aspx
