nochain Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 "1x Caveman looking for 1x Zipp disk wheel willing to go 430w for 40k. Must be in PE on thursday" Was just thinking,how is it that the 4 x Xterra world champion needs to ask for a Disk wheel on twitter?It should be so easy as to pick up the Phone to the Zipp dealers and tel them...Hey there it's Conrad and I want to ride your disk wheel at Sa TT champs!! I for one hope he gets the wheel and rides one hell of a TT...GO CAVEMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!
splat Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 For 40k, Kevin Evans offered to drive to PE to deliver one to him...
Vinnydabutcher Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 It is strange - maybe his sponsership does not cover TT Then again, he is multiple Xterra World champ - angents will kill for that kind of exposure - especially if he is on for a win! Would love to see what he does! Big gear - no fear!!!

Would love to see what he does! Big gear - no fear!!! Go Conrad!! I believe that SPECIALIZED sent him a new SHIV 3 TT bike.Bike in the you tube clip has Zipp aero wheels, so perhaps Conrad is hoping to use a disk on the day. "Just got this puppy in the mail, thanks to the folks at Specialized USA. The new UCI legal SHIV 3. The raw carbon looks great, (there was no time for a paint job) its got 55/44 Rotor rings, Quarq powermeter" http://www.conradstoltz.com/conrad-stoltz-doing-test-runs-on-specialized-shiv-3/
rouxtjie Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 The caveman came past me at buffelspoort last weekend while I was on my first lap of the trail run...the pace the man maintains is incredible, after shouting "lekker stollaaaaaaa" he gave me a quick thumbs up clearly he wasn't pushing it... Back to the thread, saw the tweet as well...surely he won't struggle to find sponsership, this man competes in the international arena...maybe he was just joking. Go caveman
shadowchaser-d Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 So then he is racing Elite in the TT and not in the vets cat? Would have been nice to see him and Rynard Tissink racing each other in the TT. Anyone know if Rynard is partaking in SA champs?
Parks cycling Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 The Caveman also lapped me on the run at Buffelspoort - he is the man! I'm sure that he will get a Zipp disk wheel from somewhere. Even without it I reckon he is going to kill the TT at SA Champs. Go Caveman!
Jeepdude Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 he is going to kill IT at TT champs with or with out that disc.....maybe worlds? Olympics....watch that twitter space
Bike Mob Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Have you seen the wind predictions for the week in PE? He may as well be asking at the yacht club for a spinnaker.
Jeepdude Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 those are wattage numbers lance was pushing in his days during 10km TT's
scotty Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I've been following his blog for sometime http://iamspecialized.com/triathlon/rider/conrad-stoltz#/blog
shadowchaser-d Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 430w and he is quite a big guy, so he is probably hoping to ave just over 5w/kg for the TT.....pretty impresive and must be making his opo very nervous at this point
Parks cycling Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I also heard that the prediction is for the wind to pump in PE later in the week and on the weekend. Disk wheel might not be the best idea then...
