I'm using one of the SRAM 10sp masterlinks ... the black one that apparently cannot be reused ... took quite a push on the pedal to lock it too !!! Runs perfectly so far.

No .. it is fractured and broken ... it only appears to return to shape, because of various reasons ... but the tyre stayed on !!! Now for anyone who rides/races on singles ... I would like to compliment the team mechanic on a competent glueing !!! no sloppy shortcuts there !!! As a...

Even before this fiasco, which as a mechanical engineer working with high level technology and materials, I'm not willing to dismiss completely ... I'm not pointing fingers either, but .... until you fully understand what the littlest things can achieve at the highest levels using the highest...

... and more thought on how and why Nibali came to be in the Liquigas team ... a team leader was tracked, caught and banned - not for the outright drug-level or substance-presence type doping, but for the really insidious type of doping, via the passport, blood manipulation ... up pops a God as...

Hmmm, I said this four or five days ago to a friend, after another Basso/Nibali tandem ... Shades of Gewiss-Ballan in the early nineties ....... Now, was it '93 or '94 ?? :(

Evans is doing the rainbow jersey truly proud ... He has transcended with the experiences and the celestial wheel of luck has slowly turned back in his favour. No talk of curses this year !!! Consider recent years past ... When did we last see the rainbow in the real hunt for GC in a GT ?? It...

Look at the front ... noises have a way of referring ... like ventriloquists throwing their voice !! Correct headset tension ?

I think these apparent inferences either exist or don't exist, in the minds of couch bound habitual experts here in the forum ... Cadel is not my favourite rider, so give away the ridiculous fan-boy paradigm - but one whom I'm, understandably, watching very closely - and he is trying...

I think it has more to do with the others coming back down to the level playing field ... it seems the testing and the passports may be beginning to work. Evans is not leaping forward suddenly ... The Cobra's and the TinTin's are getting caught perhaps ??

You did say that Cadel LET HIMSELF DOWN in the kms after he punctured and lost contact waiting out a disastrous wheel change, in the Vuelta ?? Let himself down ?? You dipstick. Go back to AFL. This beautiful sport is obviously beyond you.

No, I don't know either of you, except for what I just read ... and you, my son are a complete idiot. I believe you would be out of your depth in a shallow bath. Ride more, race a bit, or at least once and learn what the truth in cycling is all about. I suggest you move to a doping thread -...

My guess is that it is a subconscious tilt (pardon the intended pun ..) to the classic style of the past ... look at the days of (Hmmm .. my younger days) the likes of Merckx, Maartens, De Vlaeminck, Godefroot, but mostly notable on the heads of the innumerable 6 Day stars, even up to a more...

Just found out from the bringer of my ticket - it's 'Lounge Suit' .... Thanks.

What is the general standard - anyone who went last year ?? Black tie, Suit, Jeans, Sports jacket, board shorts and thongs ?? Can't seem to find a clue - or even photos of the event last year for that matter !!

*ahem* ... "could those who believe they could do a better job than the UCI, please report immediately to your National Federation, through due process and after going through a few numbing years participating productively in club level administration, junior development, possibly coaching and...
