Pars Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Too small is definitely worse. I normally ride the large end of the scale according to the numbers I got from Competitive Cyclists fitting tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 I don't think a 59 would be off the charts too big for me, just not "must buy now". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomana Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 So I just signed up for the Miami to Key West ride in November. I need some motivation. I've been riding in the morning on a computrainer, but I'm struggling getting out on the real road on the weekends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grawk Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I did a test cabling of my centaur group on the caad8 today. Just need to get a front dérailleur cable and it'll be ready for a test ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pars Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) I installed cables and covers Dura -Ace 9000. I´m pleasantly surprised with its performance... I will not ever change! campagnolo... campagnolo... you know you want it Sorry, I've been a Campy-phile since the '70s. It hasn't always been the best choice over the years (I feel like the fonze trying to say sorry), but it always has worked for me. Of course I am stuck back in friction mode, but I did like the Ergos on my brother's Bianchi. The shit just doesn't break. Decades.

jose Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Here it´s difficult find and test a good Campagnolo group (for example a Chorus) On my team, two guys use Sram Force/Red but with poor results so I prefer use Shimano Ultegra/Dura-Ace at the moment. Probably, the next year in my new bike I will use a Ultegra Di. My team is switching to Shimano Ultegra/Dura- Ace Di and test/ result is very good.

nikongod Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Saturday I took fotos at the Grants Tomb Crit in NYC. Ignoring the fact that it rained for most of the day, it was pretty awesome I'd say. There were very few spectators, so I got to stand where ever I wanted, and the overcast sky was a nice change from previous years with harsh direct sunlight coming from the wrong place.
