thisismyotherbike Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 Experiment with some aftermarket carbon rim specific brake pads.+1 here, it seriously improved my confidence on my Rovals. Frankly the same applied to my alu training rims. Pads can make a world of difference.
gummibear Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 Is my memory fading or did we have a long discussion in the past about discs not being necessary on road bikes? COuld be i am picking on the wrong person. But enjoy nice bike.Rim brakes are absolutely crap and everyone should move to disk. I will happily take any Colnago C64 frames with direct mount brakes for bargain prices.You can thank me later that you not stuck with outdated technology [emoji3][emoji6] ChrisF, Wayne pudding Mol, shaper and 3 others 6
gummibear Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 I crashed a few days before lockdown, so as soon as trade was open again, I got this bad boy. Generally a very nice bike, but the carbon wheels braking performance do not fill me with confidence in the dry, so am terrified to ride in the rain.The price of the bike was attractive, especially since there was a R20K gap between this and the 2020 disc brake version. But I do wonder if I should make the switch to disc sooner rather than later - just to be a bit more 'future proof'.Very nice and they weigh next to nothing[emoji106] splat 1

Pure Savage Posted August 12, 2020 Posted August 12, 2020 Lovely bike, nice to see a proper rim brake bike. Who owns the stolen bike now?A guy in Town. Its a long story and have a lot on my plate so letting it go. Shame, there is one other supersix high mod with American classics on in Cape Town, but has the older Dura Ace, he has been stopped once on a ride to ask where he got the bike from Lucky he knows me well and knows the full story!

TCR - 12500km before riding into a wall at a CRIT VENGE - 26000km before a somersault and a brain bleed.SuperSIx - 42000km before 2 tik kops asked for the bike then ran after me. I guess insurance is probably bleak but I have only had a car claim once in 8 years and that was someone driving into me. I rode 280 times a year for past 4 years, so claims per rides done, pretty low. JohanDiv, ChrisF, Veebee and 9 others 12

Pure Savage Posted August 12, 2020 Posted August 12, 2020 this explains why I am A - slowB - fat I need to up my mileage, downsize my bike collection/addiction and sew my greedy mouth shutIt was a lot of riding to work though. So, not really sure that will count as great training. Hairy 1
