Hi Everyone, I have found this forum helpful about a few things so thought I would post this. I have been back on my bike for 4 months after 7 years off, when i gave it away I was no world beater but was racing for a team in Aust, rode the national series and was an "open a grade rider". I...

Interesting question, I look forward to the answers. My thoughts on an aero wheel is that I thought the deep dish wheels spun up quicker and help maintain speed ? I could be incorrect however. Would it be better to have a different rear to front ? Last night i got in a breakaway and thought the...

looks like these ones are 2-3 years old with Whyte Industries Hubs will that make a difference and are 16/20's I really appreciate the support on this !!! How much better would I be in getting set of zipps made up ? One last one, I just found in the roof at home i have an old set of...

I can get a second hand set of these ;Reynolds Stratus DV 46 UL Tubular what are your thoughts ?

Yeah must be tubs, I still cant come at the fact that race wheels could be anything else. What model Renyolds? Or Edge ? I will goggle them. Money is not a major object 3k Aust give or take..

Hi Everyone, I am currently back on my bike after 10years off. In my day a rear 4 spoke corima was the best wheel you could race on but we cant use them anymore. So my question is what is the best wheelset for a 85 kg rider that rides crits on good roads and is a sprinter. I have raced on...

A few years ago a mate and I were riding a big 3 day race in Australia. The year before Graeme Brown (rabobank) had won the prologe so over a beer leading up to the race we asked Brownie how to ride a sucessful prologe. His response was priceless...these were his actual words "Go out hard but...

I struggle to understand what you are talking about, Klein was and I think still is owned by Trek. These bikes were brought into Aust by Trek and have their dealer support. The bikes themselves are fantastic to ride and are prob the pick of the bunch if you want an aluminuim bike as Klein...
