As your eyes hit their jersey?

Well, my hubs are noisy so I'm going to go with the noisy hubs are better brigade.

PS, hippy, those are your bars on the fuji in my post earlier. Love em, and they haven't snapped.... yet.

I can't help you if your reaction time is that bad.

Excellent. They shouldn't either but obviously I didn't want to move 'em on without making it clear. "It's just a flesh wound!"

noisy hubs suck. Mavic ones seem to be really loud, but I was after some Fulcrums partly because they're nearly silent. Shimano aren't quite as quiet, but it's much better than Mavic.
DJ's CK freehub sounds like a dynamo, it makes a wierd whirring noise.

I don't need your help if the person in front has a CK hub- that gives you the vital fraction of a second warning that they are emergency braking as the hub makes a sudden racket.

In a large, fast bunch, you see people slowing/stopping before you register any freehub noises.

The exception being a crash up the bunch where you hear the crash before seeing anything. They're fun.

If anyone 'hauls on the brakes for no discernible reason' everyone's fucked regardless of freehub brand.

As a Campag user, I like my noisey clicks.

I was a bit surprised (pleasently) that my Tune hubs clicked so loudly. Kinda not what I expected from german engineering.

Bugger.

I was kinda hoping I could pin all the TdF crashes on Shimano.

I use my Hope ProII trials hubs to warn hikers of my approach. Much better than coughing or having a bell.

That was my plan with my WI Eno freewheel but they still don't hear it and still shout 'get a fucking bell', followed by me shouting 'get some fucking awareness and don't take up the whole fireroad' followed by exaggerrated hand gestures from both sides and on I go.

(Doing my best to keep the peace between hikers and cyclists since 2002)

If they're in a shallow grave in the woods.. they can't complain..

That's more like it!

I have it on good authority that for 2012 UCI have restricted use of those shoes to Italians or those of Italian descent only, like the wearing of crucifixes and crying after winning*.

The scrutineers will be all up in your ass, best get some oversocks.

damn my Spanish and Welsh ancestry! Good thing I'm not racing.. well obviously apart from the non-competitive/competitive laps of Richmond, those are serious business

You are a product of the Armada crashing into Wales?

i must have missed that history lesson?!

It's not common knowledge, but from this diagram:

You can see that Spanish navigators at the time had a real shortage of green candles, so could only turn left- and some of them went hard left just after reaching the bottom of Ireland, ending up in Wales, where they settled and raised families.

Travelled to Ireland to get wrecked. Not a bad weekend that.

Ending up in Wales with offspring is a heavy one though.

Inspiration for Kris?

Saturday night.
Bit of a jolly.
Touch of scraping with some Irish locals.
Bit of a swim.
Seduced by some welsh damsel.
Bang, a son with a penchant for glittery shoes and lycra.

FTR my name is apparantly of spanish and cornish decent.

Same story, different town.
