Hey Rad what are you retailing them for - are they new/used?

Awesome bike - I have the same one in the world cup colours. Thinking of getting those Easton wheels - looks awesome how do they handle? I have heard guys riding the SLX wheels say they are not very stiff?

Somebody should write a small note to the Star and let them publish something on this topic - naturally calling up our mate to see what his comments are and then making a total fool of his logic, etc and his proposed actions...

Hi Hubbers Considering buying a pair of there titanium skewers. Has anyone out there had any experience/feedback/advice on using them with your road bike? CoolRyder2009-09-17 03:01:05

Its difficult to get objective advice form the shops. I have the same problem as have been looking to upgrade my current HT to a carbon HT but also considering a DS. I dont think there is a perfect scenario as there are so many factors to consider form age, riding preference and maintenance that ideally you need both. the question of which one to ride will depend on whether you are doing the Sabie Experience or riding Northern farm. The way I see it is to buy the best you can afford as entry level is never great. This should narrow the options in that if you dont have at least R25k to spend you are probably going to end up wishing you had spent R20k on a high end hard tail versus an entry level DS....just my opinion... good luck it a tough one.
