Yeah, too noticable for a match because the seam is like concrete :D

I hope the superglue wears off quick, because if my mates get to fling it at me when I'm batting, they'll kill me. :(

I always log on just to see what you guys are up to (you're good for a laugh) but you lose me with the cricket talk. I'm wondering if any of you skinny tire guys are running Campy or Shimano 10 speed cassettes, and do you think a Wipperman Ti chain is just a silly, overpriced bit of gear.

Judging from the discussion here http://www.cyclingforums.com/archive/index.php/t-81925 it would be a rather large waste of money.

G'day,

i'm running DA 10.......haven't had any issues with the chain, the DA one works perfectly fine....can pick em up for around $70-$80. I don't think I'd be spending much more than that unless I had too...chains aren't something i think about that much....whats the perceived advantage of this wipperman thing?.....how much?

don't get it out 'til after you bat :D

It was funny how it started: I could NEVER get my mate out in the nets (the guy I was telling you about), so the Superglue was a desperate attempt to get some advangtage. It did it with a brand new ball, and the results were more frigtening than the first a-bomb tests :)
