rumors that armstrong already confessed in a pre-recording of the oprah show

http://bigstory.ap.org/article/armstrong-r...prah-comes-town

and indication of it that he apologized to the livestrong staff before the recording...

http://velonews.competitor.com/2013/01/new...nterview_271447

this is damning and will be feeding the trolls for weeks to come...it'll be an interesting start to the 2013 season..

anyone here using specialized propero ii helmet ? am currently on the giro savant but doesn't that nicely as it is more suited to oval head and me being a rounded head myself XD

as you already say...helmet is about fitting and there is no way to know if you actually go for a test fit yourself...

you might find out about how good the padding and ventilation is... but that means jack shit if the helmet can't fit your head as that affects general comfort....

it fits for one guy doesn't mean it fit for the other...

ai... of all the wheels talk...

why no 1 talk / mentions about Zipp 101 ?

entry level into the luxury, yet a super heavy training wheels...

very good for your pocket and ur legs too...

btw, how much 101 wheels cost?

eh.. you know that wheel costs more than a set of FR0 and it is not any lighter...yes, it uses the sweet swiss steel bearing hubs of the 88 and 188... but...it is not cheap...

furthermore, it only has the toroidal shape... might as well get the SRAM S30 series as that is practically a copy version of the 101 and is almost the same weight....

build a set of 32/36spoke classic wheels and it'll be healthy for your leg and wallet... guarantee heavy on both the wheels and your wallet....

if you buy the S30AL Gold, you get ceramics... you get the Race and it should be enough... a bit of aero, a bit of lightweight for a set of clinchers...

YEAH!!! tats the way to do it...

such a thing of beauty...

it's the same size lar, in terms of wrapping your finger around it... just longer for more fingers to fit in between the bar and brake lever and it hook upwards more so your hand don't slip off the hoods in case you hit a pothole at speed...

Cav's vengeful spez mclaren

The tall wheels and thick frame, Looks heavy, more like a battering ram to me, ramming through to the finishing line.
