    10K pot? ???  It is supposed to be 1K

     

    Yes because I don't receive the 1K VOLUME pot yet and I want hear it now :unsure:  :unsure:

     

    EDIT: I was talking volume potentiometer not the offset trimpot. I'm sorry the confusión. I use a 1K trimpot and a R 1.5k.

    I've used 1.37K in my amps and it works well with the 1K pot. 

     

     

    I'm checking the amp (without pot). The balance is OK, BIAS 580 volt but I can´t down the offset. Now I´m using 1.5k. and I would like use a 10K pot. Would it be possible to use 1K?

    "round trip to my favorite bar is only 10mi."

     

     

    ;D ;D ;D  good point.

     

     

    Yesterday, I made 30 kms and I used the new Ultegra brakes.

     

    The 105 (5700) brakes are very good but in comparison, the Ultegra is a bit more powerful. IMO the big different is the feel when you take the Shifters. You don´t need apply much force to stop on comparison with the 105.

     

    I think that if you want change a new brake bridge, it´s a very good change but If you have a good brake bridge but with some years, I don´t  know if the change is necessary. You only need replacement the cartridge for a new Ultegra or Dura Ace cartridge because I think that the new compound is very different.

    Thanks Grawk

     

    If your wrists hurt, my understanding is it's generally a problem with your posture while riding. Try rolling your hips forward and keeping your back straighter.

     

    I moved 0,5 cms my seat and my knees do not pass the end of the rod. Now,I feel a little more comfortable.

    Thanks Raffy

     

    Yesterday I played with the front tyre pressure, I walked about 20 kms.

     

    I felt a little better but I have problem with the asphalt shabby. My wrists ache a bit if you use the bottom of the handlebar. If I use the climber I´m ok.

    Are your current bars too wide? If so then it could be a beneficial change.

     

    My shoulders are about 44/45 cms, I think the change could be right. ¿? ??? ???  

     

     

    One claimed advantage is vibration reduction. In theory sounds plausible, but I would not claim that the bikes with alloy/aluminum bars are overly harsh, IMO.

    Yes. It´s a good idea. My Flaca is made of carbon (frame and fork) but I feel very stiff when I go over a bump. Normally, I use the MTB (with RST and now a RS fork) and I prefer some soft on the bar.

     

    Edit: the bar is a Zipp SL-70 (80€ offer in my local dealer)
