    Sponsors success, who said the sport is in trouble

    This is a funny one really!! "Everybody knows Coca Cola, but they still do a lot of ads. Why? To keep up their number one position. Yeah, Asia. I'm sure there's a market there. But cycling will also grow there when the people get "richer"." Asia probably makes 99% of all the bikes we ride...

    Which wheels

    Well I don't want to go into the 2-3 thous of dollars, So I am thinking I would only go up to $1500 if I could get a deal lighter than the campag options of Shamal & or Nuetrons.

    You are right about all of that but tubs are just too inconvenient for day to day use, and at 61 I will go with the clincher and Nancy tag, probably just an Old nancy boy.

    Yes I almost would, but braking, and braking in the wet, braking on long descents. My new frame (Dean superlite) will be set up with disc tabs on the rear so that when Campag get a set of disc gear/brake levers I will be going full hydraulic disc (with a new disc compatible fork aswell). I...

    Which wheels

    This has probably been done before!! I am setting up a new bike, Dean Ultralite sloping frame, campag super record & I need a set of wheels. I have had great service for the last 9 yrs from a pair of campag neutrons. They are about 1450g, not super light but like I said they appear to be...

    Renshaws non selection in Worlds Team?

    Not read all of the posts but figure if Cav is still there at the end then it all over as he is the fastest sprinter, so whats the use of a guy (Renshaw) being there, if he can still be there? to lead out who? cos Cav's the fastest. So I guess Australia's tactics are something else??? Perhaps...

    King Cadel Thread

    I believe he already is in a bit of an exclusive club with the TDF victory & a World Championship under his belt. And I wonder how exclusive is the TDF, World Champ, 2 times UCI mtn bike world cup winner is. Forget all the woulda & couldas.

    King Cadel Thread

    He did'nt get any support from lotto they were too busy looking after Robbie Mc in the sprints. Support is not just the the visible presence on the climb its the 24/7 support for 3 weeks which Robert Millar commented on in C/news. & Cadel has mentioned dozens of times how happy he was with the...
