BARGIN BOX

DURA ACE WHEELSET
$750

Awesome sale on chain reaction.

Weight - 623g (front) or 811g (rear)

Carbon and alloy laminate clincher rim is both light weight and ridged whilst maintaining high braking performance with standard brake pads.

Low rim weight is achieved by reducing the alloy wall thickness from 1.3 mm down to 0.7 mm, then a patent pending phosphoric acid anodizing process is used to bond the carbon fibre to the alloy giving an excellent combination of low weight, strength and rigidity

One of the nicest looking low profile wheel sets on the market. The titanium hubs are some of the nicest pieces of machined engineering I’ve seen on a bike. These hubs are also used on shimano’s flagship C50.

These wheels are great for majority of the BG faithful as these are great wheel for all conditions and I’ll go as far as to say they are possibly the best bang for buck, performance for dosh - wheels on the market. The wheels also look great and would be a nice addition to any rig.

A well proven design which has been developed over many generations of the dura ace wheelset. The hub style and form has been perfected of the last couple of generations of dura ace wheel.

If you want to add that little edge to your bike wheels and tyres are the first stop for performance. Upgrading your wheelset is the best way to lighten your bike, and directly reduces the force required to rotate the wheels and generate drive - the weight loss here is more beneficial then any other part of the bike.

GET THE GRIP - ITS OFFICIAL

From the CONTI site:
German magazine TOUR has recently featured a comprehensive road tyre test, covering many aspects of tyre performance, even including 'real time' wet grip where their human tester donned motorcycle leathers and pushed his specially adapted test bicycle to the limit on each different set of tyres.
The complete test can be downloaded CLICK HERE.

The Continental GP4000 was a clear winner by performing well in all areas.

Another finding was that the difference between the best and worst tyres is bigger than the aerodynamic difference between the best and worst wheels!

Puncture resistance has generally improved also, with nine tyres passing TOURS puncture test, more than ever before.Grand Prix 4000S was the most consistant tyre with a weight of 207 grams on the test sample. Its rolling resistance measured in at 34.3 watts, beating even the lighweight race only tyres from the competitors.

The time it took a sharp screwdriver to penetrate the GP4000s through the tread at a load of 35 kg was three minutes. In fact the test was stopped prior to any penetration as three minutes was defined by the magazine as a 'pass'. Only two other brands also attained a pass grade here.

LOOK PEDALS

LOOK have created some porn pedals for Alberto Contador in yellow to celebrate his latest grand tour victory. Don't know about riding with a pair of these on my bike (appropriate if you are alberto contador or if you are leading the tour de france and you are alberto contador, otherwise your a bit of a dick) but they sure look good. Albertos whip from 09 Tour.

LOOK as always are at the fore front of pedal technology showing off some new tech at euro bike with the KEO Blade which uses a piece of carbon fibre as the spring!! Only US$500

If you like the LOOK my recomendtion if you want bang for buck go with the KEO SPRINTS in white or step up to the Keo 2 MAX.
