The decision between carbon and titanium is easy. Do you want a bike that will last 10+ years or 3 - 5 years (or less if you crash it). A good carbon frame is going to be stiffer and lighter the titanium, but a good carbon frame will cost more then $1200.

Re: BHP Appin 400
I found out that I don't eat enough when I'm riding, thus my first three laps are good, then I slowed down a bit. I was aiming for 10 laps, and I actually could have done 10 as I got back with 6 minutes to spare. I decided against it, and it was a good decision. Even if I did go back out I would hav...

I think you would just crash. You really aren't going to get a chance to get down on them as you will be winding it up to full speed for the start, then its only 200m.

I'll admit that I've been a bit slack in the role of coaching coordinator of late. As Stuart has mentioned, most previous attempts to fix these problems have failed. The splitting of the cruisers bunch was Lindsay's idea, and that did work initially. I have avoided rostering the coaches as they don'...

Re: Bottom Bracket Adjustment
Depending on the BB, here I'm guessing its the standard shimano type or similar. The solution is to get a BB spacer and put it under the drive side. As the non-drive side does not have a flange you can just wind the locking sleeve in a bit further.

Re: Mechanical advice - Fulcrum Racing 1 Rim Wear
I just did a quick search and you can buy the rims. It should be a lot cheaper then a new wheel as they have some pretty expensive spokes in them don't they. As for how worn they can be, that depends on the thickness of the rim. If they are noticeably concave then I'd say its time to replace them.

Its an out and back course for you G. And I agree that it is a harder course then the one from last year, for you anyway. I only have to ride the more down hill half, it pays to have a masters license sometimes.

There was someone with a penny very similar to that one down in Evandale. It had a free wheel, thus the need for brakes. And its a bikini not a smugglette, you'll find the bikini predates the whole branding you love by a long time G.

Re: 9 Speed STI levers wanted
The problem with old 9 speed Ultegra levers is they get the Ultegra death. They start to rattle and there is nothing you can do about it. No Shimano lever can be repaired. The only thing you can do is flush the crap out out them with something like Inox. I'm sure a similar thing happens to 105 lever...

You don't even need to use Shimano parts, SRAM cassettes have the same spacing so are interchangeable. I'd check the price on the SRAM PG1070 as well. As for chains, you can use SRAM, Shimano, or any number of others. I've been using a YBN SFL101-DHA on my road bike and its been pretty bullet proof ...
