  1. It seems to me, that a lot of wheel recomendations are based on marketing and appearence. There are a number of scientific measurements on the web like the following that show that some of the more popular wheels are not really any better than others.

    Michelin ProRace 2s are a little lighter than their Krylions if you want to give up some

    durablilty for racing.

    Nice bike choice - Greg

  2. I think I have seen you there, without the SB clothes and helmet, I couldn't figure out where I had seen you before.

    I bought the Synapse 2 last week. I thought about the R1000, and almost bought

    a used one in Burlington, couldn't quite justify the price of a new one. The slightly more upright frame of the Synapse was recommended for mature ;-) riders like myself.

    BTW, I bought a condo out a Sun Peaks in BC, if you are ever thinking about going

    out to BC, other than Whistler, we should talk.

    You should be able to send me an email thru my profile page, I noticed yours is turned off.

  3. Derf,

    Needless to say, that was an expensive repair - even though she works part time at a bike shop.

    I have spent a lot of time in Burlington bikes stores lately, (just bought a C'dale road) which store does she work in?

  4. I was there to see the Sun Peaks Speed Skiing, it was amasing how fast they picked up speed and how fast they need to slow down to turn at the bottom.

    Justin Garey (a Sun Peaks ski and snow board instructor who helps out with the Snow Performance carve camp), set a personal best by breaking 100mph.

    He then went to Europe and now holds the Canadian Ski speed record.

  5. I believe that the new disc is spacer that is bolted below the existing TD2 disc with the

    provided longer bolts. Since the binding floats around the discs, it will not put a lot

    of preasure on the edge of the disk like the TD1s, which is what caused the top

    sheet damage. The provided neoprene pad goes below the existing TD2 damping pad.
