livestream anyone? thanks

there are already full carbon cross country and cyclocross disc forks out there, so the technology is available. there are lightweight carbon 29er rims as well, which, when adapted to road widths, should be lighter the current carbon rims because they won't need a brake track. the only obstacle...

it took a while for elite xc racers to shift to disc brakes too. weight was an issue initially. in addition, as far as i know, only avid makes road-specific disc calipers so if a rider is sponsored by shimano or colnago, he or she probably isn't going to use them.

looks like all DA at the new RS team training camp http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/photos/gallery-radioshack-nissan-trek-train-in-calpe

leaked? really? they made a bloody video! :D the new cassette based on the mtb xx cassette is probably the most best thing here. the price will be justifiable only to weight weenies, though. funny how they added a bigger knob the hoods. sram used to say how great and ergonomic their flat...

or you could just use a shimano derailleur... you have to use an older 9 speed rd (deore, lx, xt, xtr) with the newer 10 speed shifters.

i wondered about that myself, but anyway since the team has merged with RS, they'll probably all use sram.

i took a quick look at the leopard-trek website. shimano isn't actually listed as a partner/sponsor http://www.leopardtrek.lu/partners i wonder if that means they also bought their drivetrains? now that they've merged with radioshack, i guess they will all ride sram

but then again there have been no denials or retractions or press releases saying shimano is a new sponsor. if you look at pics of the current garmin cervelo bikes, they're all on DA, so definitely the "leap" has been made. it's not unknown for teams to buy their equipment (csc, bmc, as...

i've had the above (broken sram) happen twice so that was it for me. back to shimano where i've never had the same kind of problem, even with their "lower end stuff". for a lot of people, rival isn't cheap either, and sram was touting it as ultegra level or better when it came out (second tier...

google "broken sram shifter" and you'll find the reason for a lot of the "hate", or at least real-world reasons for making the leap back to shimano :)
