I had an idea to solve the white bar tape, well sort of problem. Basically of it getting dirty. Get some white bars or powder coat some and then rap clear bar tape over the top. Im gonna have to try it. What do you guys think?

Halesowen 400m track. I used to really enjoy track until a nasty crash at about 35mph totatly put me off it. Broke radius, thumb but fortunatly a fine bike. So now im going to focus more on individual pursuiting. I ride a Spiuk Volita, great bike getting a bit small for me though :(

Lol, this has turned into a slag off FSA thread. Also i find it a bit strange that we are already starting to put down the gruppo.. How about wait for it, see how it looks. how it performs and then construct a fair opinion. Personally i like the look of FSA gear, very snazzy and i have some...

Its always a stragne subject wearing pro kit, personally i wouldn't do it. It always looks a bit odd if you go out with all the kit and all the wrong parts like bikes shoes and wheels. Make you look like a bit of a muppet.

The new levers do look rather special. I dont like the shape of the shimano lever i never feel comfortable, Sram is awesome extremly comfortable. But the Campag shifters look the best shape for hands.

Prendas is great. Super quick deliverly too

I have a Pair of Fulcrum Racing 1s, awesome set of wheels. Areo Light and great for climbing. They are campag so bacially the technolgy is some of the best in the world. Bearings are smooth and the rims are rigid. The only downfall would be the braking surface. They do get all the crap off the...

Hi Great Britain/ Specialized Tarmac SL2/ know just about everything about cycling/doing some Junior races this year i hope/mechanic at a specialized concept store. http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c43/MattBooth/IMG_0617copy.png

I have to agree, i dont like the new dura ace that much. After building it up at work I decided it looked too bulky, as for the shifting. Yes it is smooth but i think that's how it is on the Market. Shimano = Ultimatly Smooth Sram = Ultimatly Precise Campag = Ultimatly Nice.

I suppose no tech section can be without a simple quick fire question like what is your favorite group set? Personally my favorite is by far Sram Red, i've been running it for a few weeks on my bike now and it is a cut above the rest. At first I was concerned about the double tap system but i...

I have to agree, these 3 Irish names have a lot of potential. I can't decided who has more out of Roche and Martin. I find they are equally as talented. It's a shame Roche missed out on a Veulta win last year and his GC placing proved that he can go forward, the same goes for Martin - he is a...

Hi CN, Great that there is a forum going, looking forward to getting stuck in on the tech side of things!
