pastapouch Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Triple ring is king nope, you don't need triple, you need more power
scotty Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Power requires too much effort and hard work, i tend to avoid both if i can help it.
rock Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 sorry my eyes aren't so good... caad what?shimano what?mavic what?
FanieFiets Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Baie nice! Ek hou van al daai swart. Ek het vir jou 'n gewone ritchey seatpost as jy soek. Wat is sy naam?
Ratty Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Very sweet looking bike. I like the black! Triple chain rings are NICE!!! I had a lot of fun climbing Wittedrift a few weeks back. I was happily cycling along singing to myself "Oh how I love my triple chain ring" while passing the poor suckers struggling to climb. I used a lot less energy than them and got to the top before them. Think they might have killed me if I sang out loud

The Saint Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Surprised you can still stay upright on the small chain ring. Seriously if it works for you then use it, I have also had my moments of praying for an extra gear
ewep Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Homer, geluk!!! Baie happy km's en welkom by die "Beste fiets in die wereld" klub.
Guest Michelle Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 I've got a triple on my bike too... it's not used very often, but it definitely comes in handy when you're not having a particularly strong day... plus you don't have to worry about changing cassettes for hillier rides.Hope you enjoy her

Fanie: ons moet praat...[/quote'] 10 speed I suspect....its a super bike. ps. after taking a back seat for a while, the old trek frame is 99% complete - even got some new decals printed today......pics soon.
Thug Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Now normally I don't comment on Road bikes (being a MTB'er and all ), but seeing that it has a Triple Chain Ring........ Nice Bike
snah2 Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 RH won his TDF stage yesterday on a bike like that!!!(with a few minor tweaks of course).Welcome to the Cannondale club!
willpower Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Once upon a time, I had a road bike with a triple. And there were a few occasions when I was very grateful. I remember one day getting passed on OKW by a girl with an H seeding... and I couldn't hold her wheel! Also, there were a couple of Double Centuries where I wouldn't have been able to ride slowly enough to stay with my team with anything bigger than 30x25. In due course my triple STI lever broke, I replaced it with a double, and haven't missed the 30t since. In fact these days I use the bike for commuting and leave it permanently in the 52t. I think these days I would prefer a compact crankset, e.g. 50-34, with an 12-25 cassette. It gives almost as much range with a lot less front shifting which seems to make more sense. Oh, by the way... that Dale is a great looking bike! Enjoy it!
racman Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Hey Homer - gr8 bike !! ( I think you should change you "nick" to "Night Rider") Enjoy!!
