  1. the pope had serial #2 campag 50 aniversary edition grouppo.
  2. spinnekop, het jy nie al ook 'n onderonsie gehad met jou shifters nie, of onthou ek verkeerd?
  3. mentioning cheap .. thats me. my last 2 sets of wheels cost me 1200 per pair, including campag cluster. who cares about looks for that price ...
  4. as someone said very aptly "The Guru of Bike Gurus"
  5. Sheldon Brown died of a heart attack on Sunday night a very sad loss for the cycling community. http://www.sheldonbrown.com/
  6. Simon, I'm glad your friend seems to be ok. I suspected something like this from your pm. everyone has to work through something like this their own way. its heartbreaking that weve got a country full of potential, but that we cannot live the same way as we used to when we were kids. My prayers with your friend and you in your decisions you are going to have to make

    CWC online

    never mind the categories that are not there .. where is the 'opening specials' page???????????????????
  8. you can buy Head and shoulders at any supermarket. or dont you want the shoulders?
  9. got a silverback one, same thing, first use it was stuffed. the beto one still going strongly after many year. moral of the story ... if you buy, ensure that the little tip can move freely, and it isnt a one piece
  10. ewep, please phone the secutity company, and tell them that their drivers were speeding, and being a danger. actually, try and find out who their insurance company is, and inform them of the speeding and dangerous driving. If they refuse to pay out the insurance claim, it is going to cause more than the very small ripple you would make by telling someone at the security company
  11. there is still a bit of hope left Now might be the time to splash out on a good bike if you dont have one yet. not that it will make you that much faster, but at least you will be motivated. if you currently are riding a mtb, a road bike definitely will assist in cutting down your time. dont try to catch up, dont increase more than 10-15% per week. make sure you drink a recovery drink within half an hour of the ride ending. take rest days. lastly, make sure everything is fine on race day by preparing now. take your bike in now for a service, not the week before. practice drinking/eating whatever you are going to do on raceday, now!. if it doesnt suit you, at least you find that out in advance. pitch up early on raceday, and be in the gates earlier, rather than later. warm up properly. and lastly, remember to post the pictures if you dont make it
  12. the captain will have a significant higher HR than the stoker if the stoker complains her footrests are moving. My tandem is a hansom with mixte rear. it flexes enough so that I was not able to change gears the first 5 km when i tried it out, as I was being scared to crash it. but in general, especially on the straight and level, I think you work a lot harder than on your own, because you cannot just slack down. Hills you work
  13. vision also had something like that = IPS - Independant pedaling system. sadly they are no more.
  14. recumbent. and specially for oom bigh, you need to add tandem
  15. Welcome to the hub! post some pictures of your work please
  16. you dont really have to replace it. it is for badly adjusted bikes, as well as makro and game specials to prevent the rear deraileur from going into the spokes. if your bike is well set-up, you dont need it
  17. shimano wheels and cluster are cheaper to buy. if you want to change to a campag cluster, you have to buy a new wheel. the splines on campag and shimano is not the same, so you cannot just change the cluster. (which is why i bought 2 pairs of campag 10 speed wheelsets with clusters, when i got the chance) is the shimano clusters one piece? can you get a 10 speed spacer kit to use a shimano wheel, 10 speed shimano cluster on campag equiped bicycle? lowracer2008-01-21 03:40:47
  18. 9 speed? I heard 10 speed is not compatible?
  19. there are ways past that, but it is more effort than it is worthlowracer2008-01-15 06:24:13
  20. uhm possibly on both the colnago and pinarello... there are way more votes on there than there are people even wanting a colnago or pinarello. There are only 3350 members of which a lot is inactive.
  21. Does not exist anymore. It is ok, interested in current and past builders
