    Well, I would like to test some Vittoria model but Stevens Custom Service only offer Continental and GP 4000SII is the top. I always run with 108psi rear/front.  On my BH I used Pro4 during last year and the feeling was very different but with ~5000 kms they were dead

    When I started with the carbon saddle I need a couple of days to get used, but now I don´t want other saddle!. Yes, the problem is the high Price... I don't understand Why a simple carbón saddle today is as expensive.

    Nice bike, I imagine the disk brakes are a real advantage going downhill on those long descents there?

    Yes, here we have long descents and you need a goog brake if you don´t want died. :wacko:  You can easily reach 70 kms (~43 M) I had on the BH Ultegra dual pivot brakes (6800) and it's a good brake but it's impossible to compare. The feel of the disk is very soft. You do not need to strain to slow down and your hands never hurt you. You only need to adjust a bit to soft and progressive touch. It´s very similar to my XT.

    EMHO the digital and disk are the future.

    Thanks to all!

    Yes, it is possible that they need some kms for have grip or I´m confused. On my cycling team, the 50% use this tyre and they are very happy but they have never used the Michelin Pro4.

    Coincidentally, today, a friend has been warp a Conti with a few kilometers.

    Thanks guys

    Today I finished my first 130 kms. :)

     

    What do you think about  Continental Grand Prix 4000 II S? :huh:

    I don´t like very much... In this moment I prefer the Michelin Service Course Pro 4. It's early but I don't feel good with the Conti. I feel that they are heavies and hard.

    Yes but It's very complicated. The organization does not have enought money to afford a stage here... flights, hotels, move bikes and material. We are far from the continent.

    For example Sky and Tinkoff training here on winter and they rent bikes, etc... and spend much money.

    Hi guys:

    My rise to Pico de las Nieves, the hardest mountain pass in Europe. :rolleyes: Puerto. I'm very pleased with myself.

    2h15" total time. Kms 5 to 7 is the most hard, very, very hard, a slope of 19% without any pause . I've never climbed anything so hard. It´s awful.

     

    Edit: I used a 12/30 ultegra and a 34/50 compat.

    for signal input, unbalanced you put hot to amplifier input +

    you put ground to signal ground and input -

     

    for output you wire hot to amplifier out +

    and you wire ground to signal ground

     

    anything else, and bad things happen

     

     

    Yes, I use a similar scheme. The sound is very good but I have a little HUM on the left side when I use the input unbalanced/ output unbalanced.
