Re: The Cycling Thread
Keep an eye on Bike Radar's road parts section, new cassettes come up fairly frequently
http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=40091 If I see any I'll tip you off.

Re: The Cycling Thread
Nice one, thanks
Had a quick scan through, there's a lot of volume of parts going through that forum, very good to know! Always worth checking before buying new...good job they don't have any cheaper chainsets in there otherwise I'd have been gutted! SRAM red would be a bit much!

Re: The Cycling Thread

 No, ordinary SRAM or Shimano will do you fine

Re: The Cycling Thread
I buy GT-85 in bulk, its awesome stuff for everything. Even motorcycle chain lube. 36 cans at £1.77 each, can't complain, even if i reapply every couple of hundred miles.

Re: The Cycling Thread
So in hind sight would Sky have been better off including Sir Brad in the line up, just in case Froomey stacked it?
Brads not good on wet descents, but he's good on the cobbles, he proved that earlier in the year. Sky should have learned from 2010 when Sir Brad crashed out as their only contender. But this is with hindsight of course

Re: The Cycling Thread
and also froome wouldnt have it
 Saw froome fall.. blimey how many times can these guys roll. I dont understand why they haven got kevlar in the fabric, as soon as they fall its a big mess ( they look like they' ve been eaten by jaws).

Re: The Cycling Thread
Wasn't a good sign to see Froomey falling off on the roads, let alone the cobbles.
Hats off to Nibali, he's riding like a champ

Re: The Cycling Thread
Nibali really is riding like a champ. Over 2 minutes to Contador on a stage like today? Will be interesting to see how well he goes up - we all know how well he comes back down
Real shame for Froome, I feel for the guy. He's taken such a hit on that hip so many times, I wouldn't be surprised if he's out for some time now. |
