Racer X

BB - It happened to an LX hollowtech two I had. I sat there and re-cut the threads which sorted the prob out.

I'd weight for Formula's new R1.

Some seriously good looking stuff. May have morgage the house first though.

Yet you took the time to type the above message?Racer X2008-06-26 13:49:52

I reckon that we are in the right track. Lets look at it from 2000. Since then: - Greg Minnaar, mulitple WC wins - Sifiso Nlapho - 1 of the worlds best BMXer's - Burry Stander - Need I say more - Cherise Taylor - Silver in 2007 - Andrew Neetling - Getting better every year - John Lee Augusteen and Robbie Hunter - TDF, ring a bell We'll get there.

So whats Burry doing now?

What was the name of Lance Armstrong's first book again?

Shame poor bloke. I've done giants 4 times, its the only race I wish I had a soft tail for. Doing it on a Boulder.... nah. If I want the snip I'll go to my a doctor, less pain same result.

I wonder how long it'll take Johan Bornman to reply to this thread. I hope he does! JB knows what hes talking about' date=' and can conduct a proper debate. [/quote'] Okay so bikes are not designed to crash, yet, as you yourself stated in your 3rd point these are inevitable. I just like reassurence, dodgy spelling, of Ti.

...and what he loves is Litespeed.

After a quick google: Scott's Addict LTD comes in at 790 grams which includes fork, intergrated seatpost, headset and seatpost clamp. Litespeed's Ghisallo comes in at 770 grames for frame. Add to this 8 grams of extralite seatpost clamp, 130 odd grams of schmolke seatpost, 58 grams of crankbro's headset and approx 220 grams for a THM Scapula fork. Thats a total of 1186 grams opposed to 790 grams for the scott. I still want the Ghisallo. Ronelle, I hate you.Racer X2008-06-25 13:13:35

I ride a Ti MTB Hardtail and am super happy on it. The only downside I see in carbon is that is has no impact strength, wrong term I know. What I mean by this is that it has no protection against any sort of "Blunt Force Trauma". Simply put, if your carbon frame lands on the corner of a brick wall its quite likely that'll crack. Titamium is stronger in this regard but as a "Steel," it will have more flex. Just my views. I would go for the Litespeed, (personal preference) http://www.litespeed.com/bikes/2008/ghisallo.aspx (My dream frame). I wonder how long it'll take Johan Bornman to reply to this thread.

Which one?

V's great until it gets wet. Low Racer, Check out CRC and then go to DT Swiss, they have lovely rigid carbon forks.

Thanks SB, who is the Hubber in question?

According to Jenson USA it is 102 mm

Will double check now

Hmm, okay. Will have to re-think my stratergy ;-)

From who?

I am quite happy with my XTR though and do not feel like forking out a small fortune for an RS8. Does anyone have a schematice for a 29 tooth rings. I then can super impose the design onto 110 bcd spider onto and have an engeneering works cut it out.

Anyone know where I can get one from? As far as I know the middle chainring on an XTR crankset has a 110 BCD. Have contacted TA SPecialites but had no luck.

close enough

Alternatively I could just badger you until you give in.

Okay so it lacks a certain degree of comfort, but hey, looks good. Maybe Mr Lopes has one to comment on.
