  16. thats like 1hrs riding ... multiply that by 6 for Atta ?
  17. i agree, been on Racing Ralph Snakeskins for a year.. rode plenty various terrain, unforgiving rocky to sharp twigs and fellings .. Mounted and sealed first time on American Classic 29er rims [ Hardtail ,68kg rider! ] (been on Snakeskin version on previous bike too )
  18. just started reading on this.. so this bike shop has been receiving letters which they have ignored several times regarding the "use of the 'Roubaix' name on certain products. Not the shop name! that is what they legally suppose to change , now they face the full might because they have ignored those laws, especially in Canada where the Trademark Protection Law required companies to police their trademarks, or else they will loose it. so now Specialized is acting.

  20. damn.. this just sad
  21. ok thats for W2W Adventure only
  22. naah that's the RC
  23. btw, yes the pro teams are on zipps,(marketing) , but they dont divulge how many are replaced by the sponsor.. You & I cant afford to replace R20k wheels ! (i once read "behind the scenes Paris-Roubaix" , where they said how many Zipp rims the teams went thru )
  24. Been on Corima's for 5yrs , on my 2nd new version set. They are for one stronger than Zipps! Press the rim sidewall/fairing and feel for yourself! Corima has the torsion box, Zipp's flexes. I once rode on a flat rear Corima for 10kms to the race finish(94.7) , it stayed tru , and didnt require replacement. And yes, lastly alot sexier than Zipps
  25. .Hout Bay from on top at Silvermine
