@frank No issues with speedplay cleats,even with a bit of dirt as long as you know how to look after them.Looking at the article photo I can definitely tell you that speedplay cleat is not that bigger and heavier.I always wondered how did you end up on… »

@PeakInTwoYears Video 1 although you start the tape at the end of the bars, like that if you lose the bar plug the tape will stay firm and look good. Video 2 has so many mistakes that I don’t know where to begin. »

@Deakus Sorry dude but it’s your own fault. First of all you decide you want to have Campagnolo and now you complain that they did you wrong.Then you bought a bike without knowledge what BB system it uses and how to service it and you moan that you don’t… »

@Mikel Pearce Agreed.And it is always everybody else’s fault not his.He is slower than many young upcoming sprinters and he can’t stand it so he always tries to find something or somebody to blame for his lack of top speed. @razmaspaz Did you mean this… »

@xyxax That’s a lot of money for a Pedal Force frameset with a nice paint job. @Souleur Ritte brand is as Belgian as those two Americans guys who are behind it. »

@scaler911 Don’t bend the seat post clamp or the frame too much as it will most definitely make the frame ugly or destroy it.Hang up the bike ,remove the bottom bracket, place the bike upside down and apply WD 40 or penetrating oil through the seat tube … »
@Deakus @Deakus Don’t know mate,sorry.I don’t use it.It’s probably cheaper in US though but you have to pay the shipping. »
@Deakus Yes you do.Just cause something comes out of USA it doesn’t automatically means that is good or the best.You can get dumonde on ebay and they will ship to Europe but if you have to remove factory lube to use it than I’d advise you to use differen… »
@Deakus If by this you mean Baxter Aftershave you can get it in Europe and UK. http://www.toast.co.uk/product/mens+grooming/6YAB8/BAXTER+OF+CALIFORNIA+AFTERSHAVE+BALM.htm http://buy.cosmeticsnow.co.uk/iteminfo/baxter-of-california-after-shave-balm-120m… »
@VeloVita Don’t have time to argue however ‘the good stuff’ as you call it becomes ‘the good stuff no more’ once removed.Do as you wish.I don’t know why you have to remove the factory lube to use dumonde tech,but if you do then I’d ditch the fucking dumo… »
@VeloVita That’s the worst thing you can do to a brand new chain.The factory lube is the best lube your chain will ever see,no matter how good dumonde tech is.Once removed it can’t be replaced.This has been covered in details here many times. @sthilzy … »
@frank You should get your vrouw these »

@frank Really good staff mate! You too Gianni. Being a DS these days is a hard task plus standing by the road in the wind… You live in a nice place though.What’s it like? Hey Frank did you enjoy riding Veloflex tubulars?How did they feel? »
@TommyTubolare's posts:
@motor city Hello mate.I’d advise you to check your headset first before you spend money on a new one with a volcano/dust cover that doesn’t fit your bike.You can’t just put any volcano cap there but one that will allow to preload your headset bearings a… »
@TommyTubolare's posts:
@frank Nice effort Frank.I noticed few things though.From your new photos it looks like you changed your set up a bit.Since I don’t care about the direction of the fi'zi:k bartape finishing sticker I’d like to know what’s the reason you tilted up your new … »

@DerHoggz Three clicks.Start when you are on a small chainring. 1.One click on the FD shifter will move FD cage to the right allowing you to use lower sprockets (13,12,11) or whatever you have without the chain rubbing while on a small chainring. 2.Sec… »

@minion Good memories I hope.Cheers. »

@Ron Bar tape begins at the end of the bars so no tucking or trimming needed.You trim the bar tape on top of your bars and finish it with preferred vinyl tape.See the thread I linked below for more.It is connected to this one anyway as it shows first pro… »

@mouse Cheers for your comment.Really enjoy riding it. »
@frank Cheers mate. I think Souleur meant the cable stop on the bridge leading to seatstays.I was on about the top tube stops left and right. I think the left stop would lead perfectly to the rear brake and the right one down towards FD. I’d also get … »
@frank Nice bike Frank and well taken photos. I don’t understand your choice of cable stops for FD and rear brake cables on the top tube.Any particular reason? »
