Mudsimus Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 What's with all the headset spacers? Wont find that on a pro's bike! smileys/smiley36.gif
WorcesterWheelers Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 Looking at the amount of stearer tube sticking out above your headset, my first comment on that picture would be to get yourself properly fitted before you buy any new frame......Personally not fond of the BMC, put thats just personal choice.The best option would be to get yourself profesionally measured, and then take into account which frame geometry suits your build and riding style the best. And then you'll already have wittled down the options to fewer frames.Keep up posted though.So what do you think of the Bora's? I'm HUGELY impressed with mine! smileys/smiley4.gifsmileys/smiley32.gif

Stifmeister Posted May 22, 2006 Author Posted May 22, 2006 o YES I CAN REMEMBER THAT!!!!!!DO U HAVE LIKE A WEB SITE WITH PHOTOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
Icycling Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 Just remember 4cm of spacers is all that is safe with a carbon steerer! Get measured up as already said and choose from their! Note the srm cranks and the sproket at the back - just make sure that the crank lentgh is still suitable (not sure if you still Junior) but if you on open gear you may find 175mm cranks are better suited for you now if you arn't already on 175mm.
Stifmeister Posted May 22, 2006 Author Posted May 22, 2006 I AM STILL U16 AND ON 172.5.HOW DO U MEASURE YOUR SELF CAUSE I DONT TRUST THIS PEOPLE AT THE CYCLING SHOPS
Icycling Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 172.5mm are fine for the gears you should be riding if licenced - I think 52 - 16 or 17. The pic looks like an open cassettee.Try a site www.wrenchscience.com see what it spits out at you. I have seen this site get it completely wrong but also 100% rite. See how close it is to your current position. Otherwise a good shop should be able to assist you - which is the aera you from in Gauteng? I may be able to recommend.
Icycling Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 Do you have any contact with Repert Reeda? If so I am sure he will be able to advise on position. Andre Steenkamp (Future spin) in halfway house is also good with sizing.The wrenchscience site is free! No no harm in looking at it.
