so, is it the general consensus that Peiper got sick coz he wasn't looking after himself?

It wasn't all his fault. He was exposed to endless reruns of Popeye on cable as a young lad...

not sure. But meningitis is nothing to sneeze at.

Meningitis is one way to get down to race weight......so is cancer apparently

I'm gunna start another boring, self-indulgent thread

I bought the cheap Roselli fork for my "wet day" alu Kennedy. The fork has an alu steerer and is noticeably stiffer than the full carbon Muscle.


I was thinking of changing the forks around to have the stiff fork on the steel bike, and the flexy fork on the alu??

BOR-OR-OR-OR-OR-RING!!

might not the flexy fork feel weird on a stiff frame? might give you a noodly front end feel?

Hmmm......you reckon?

dunno

dunno, just a guess? Never had an alu frame or an all carbon fork myself. If you are used to a stiff fork, surely it'll feel sloppy initially if it is flexy. You'll probably get used to it.

Just take 5psi out of your tires for the same effect

Whadda you guys think of this colour?

I reckon it's hideous. I only got the other one painted white because I couldn't stand this one

Sounds like a fun day berny.How does it work?Like does each member of the group take their turn to ride?Is there any minimum laps or time for each member?Can you draft with other riders in the bunch?etc... This is first time I heard about this kind of ride,just wonder how it works?

Earth to badsac...come in badsac....*chkk*.....jerseys have arrived......e-mail me your address so I can send yours out.....*chkkk*

Hmmmm...how do your bikes compare?

feel free to go into boring detail if you like -- I'll read it

how do you like the old Cosmic Elites?

A few of you have seen my shed. I may have some V brakes in there. I'll grab a shovel and dig for 'em.

Climbo, no map received.

More like I'm off with the fairies... But I digress. Didn't I tell you this info when I ordered? I'm useless then. Email sent (soon when I can find your address).

I love that colour. You colourblind or somethink? Don't paint it.

It was the inaugural road enduro in Oz, run by Orange Promotions who do the MTB events.
Each member takes a turn. You can bust up the 12hrs in any way you want. We did 6 x 30 min. stints each, which worked out four laps per turn.
Each team is provided with one transponder worn on your ankle. Each lap you ride over a reader which records the lap.
Drafting is legal if you can find someone running at your speed. Only riders with transponders are allowed on the track so team member drafting is out.
There were lots of entrants from all over on all manner of bikes, MTB's, recumbents, even some courier dudes on track fixies with no brakes who got pulled by the commissare (sp) and a team from Vic.

Anyone know what's happend to 'Rockmuncher'?

to the ozbikesports e-mail address? Is it something else?

He now goes by the silly name of "Jock" or some such foolishness. He still posts here.

That's the correct one. Saccy may be able to hook us up with topo maps. We can use one of them and my GPS to map out the actual tracks at Glenrock. The pylons are numbered, and there's also numerical markers out there. I sense a long day at Glenrock coming up when it dries out a bit.

I haven't seen many if any 'Jock' posts? I mean he used to post several times every day.
He was crook and I wonder if he's gotten worse?

sent again just then

Nothing. But I sent you one to respond to.


Saccy, try this link about the Avid cantilevers.

Wow they talk them up don't they. I wouldn;t have thought it was possible to rave about canti's but they sure get it done.

Search the forums for canti opinions. For stopping power, search the tandem forums. We have 203mm discs, and the other option is some Avid canti's.
