maybe new evidence just popped up? somebody spilled the beans only recently?

anyway, it's like indonesian sinetron or venezualan soap opera; new twists to the stories are made when it becomes mundane.

that is one super-sweet looking sidi! but i wonder how the top closure can be adjusted. like the current one, can be adjusted one notch up and one notch down.

my current sidi's gonna last years. enough for now. maybe we'll see a new Tecno buckle, Tecno-III perhaps? controlled/notch release of the cable perhaps. nice.... and please not the steel cable like BOA design.

i thought the boa straps was kinda cool... hell, i wanted one.. but too expensive for me...

yeah... patty mcquaid is known for being a knob... and that shows how much of a president he is for not knowing his own rulebook... he is eating his own words this time round... he should just keep it to himself...

but then, there is nothing out there that says that what will happen if a UCI rider were to be found working with them.. do they get suspended automatically or is there something to happen or the banned fella gets banned further...

i mean they can still work secretly with any UCI rider without anyone knowing since they dun own a UCI license anyways...  they dun lose what they do not have in the first place... like what the journos said about ferrari still working with armstrong post 2009 in secrecy... how much of it is true we will never have an idea...

the erectric wire set must be fake cina mali punya la... plug it in and your Di2 will have automatic gearbox function... shift gears on all the wrong timing

yeah... maybe voeckler was smelling the spit by his french haters.. YUCKS!!!

on the other hand... i dunno whether to feel sorry for him or wat... last year he was the darling of the french public.. and some case open by some french judge this year that they were injecting vitamins intravenously suddenly made them a bunch of haters... to the point where they were spitting and cursing at this dude...  suddenly hero to zero... and he rode through all the shit with knee pains and aching body as he said...
*
that bad huh? last time he was the darling.

like the article said, can't take away something not already there. but what UCI should be doing is to figure out how to ensure riders won't go near the banned witch doctors.

i had some probs with boa closure

the trio (hamilton, landis, hincapie) did confess recently and implicated the boss, again... is USADA working on that ground?

he wore the yellow jersey in france's most coveted race for a whole 10 days... during a time where there were no french tour winner for more than 20 years... imagine why the public does not idolize him during that time...

bet he didn't think that some twisted story whether it was true or fake would turn the public against him so fiercely...

probs? sounds serious for something costing so much....well, like they say... why complicate things right.. let's stick to velcro...

french, emo? took things too seriously?

velcro, boomproof and bulletproof. haha

i have that spez s-works with boa. what i really love about the boa is how easy it is to adjust the fit. what i don't like about it is, 1) the steel cable can get rusty overtime, 2) u have to put some lube at some parts of the boa closure and that can attract dirt and get dirty overtime, 3) the plastic plate where the screw that hold the dial goes in is not strong enough. i broke mine after i removed the dial and screwed it back in.

hincapie didn't deny nor did he admit talking to USADA last time. but after that i think last month he publicly said he agreed to cooperate with them.

eventually things will cool down and swept under the rug. until a few years later somebody says something and open up a can of whoopass... sorry, a can of worms

the shoes are good. the boa functionality is superb. just that the durability. that's all. if u can live with replacing the boa once a year or two, and have it done by an authorized shop, the shoes are a winner. i love the fit.

i bought the sidi when i my spez boa broke. and when i got it replaced, i end up with two pairs! i've always wanted a sidi anyway.

much like politics... the "oh, wasn't that you butt naked with a prostitute in that youtube video" when someone is in the process of getting elected...

well... if no drama... we got nothing to talk about rite  laugh.gif

it's too rich in the first place... spending a cool 50 bucks to replace the boa strings is not really too cool...

err... the boa for sworks spez is rm8x

after that froome sat up to let wiggo catch up right?

i think the price went up years back when cycling started gaining polularity. before that a high end michelin prorace was only rm110. then it started going up. maybe our ringgit strength has gone down. maybe raw material cost has gone up. who knows.

as for the pro team jerseys, just let them be. i'll have to borrow butthead's arguement, stop quoting euro rules man. just look at it as, the guy wears his favourite team/rider kit. is it any different than a kaki bangku fat guy wearing an international football club jersey?

i'm not sure how it is now. when i started cycling years back, team kits were cheaper than plain ones. in fact, the plain type was hard to find.
