Marius Posted March 30, 2007 Share anything secondhand will be a good deal for R2k, no nice wheels for R2k, sorry. Maybe some Bike Lights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdoardoBianchi Posted March 30, 2007 Share *Whispers behind hand, incredulous*"He's got 2k to spend on his bike!" 1) A weighless subscription...Your bike will love you for it.2) New carbon soled shoes3) Save the cash until you can buy uber-wheels. Makes a massive difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunh Posted March 30, 2007 Share I have a Ritchey WCS Alu Handlebar & ECS Alu Stem 44 Bar 110 stem for R500 super cool, super light.....Now you still have R1500 left to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saint Posted March 30, 2007 Share I would definately go for the Carbon option, can get a new carbon handlebar for R1600 but I am unsure of exactly what differance I can expect as opposed to my alu bars? Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FanieFiets Posted March 30, 2007 Share wat ry jy op die oomblik? Het jy 'n carbon vurk? Dit gaan 'n groter verskil as 'n carbon handlebar maak. FanieFiets2007-03-30 12:48:12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saint Posted March 30, 2007 Share Yes Fanie I do have a carbon fork. Went past the cycle store today, carbon cages ranging from R150 to R650 each - not sure what the difference is.I don't have a carbon seatpost but as with the handelbars I am not sure if I am going to feel any difference as opposed to the alu.

Ivanb Posted March 31, 2007 Share There is only one thing Q Rings go faster and easier. Start where the bike needs it in the pedalling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saint Posted March 31, 2007 Share Mmm ok so why only a Zipp carbon bar - what makes theor carbon any different from that of other manufacturers? Then what the hell are Q rings?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FanieFiets Posted March 31, 2007 Share search net Q-rings. Die mense het al baie lang discussion op die hub daaroor gehad. FanieFiets2007-03-31 08:34:35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
