VPI Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Did a super short neighborhood ride on the Lynskey. Not really any closer to the DeSalvo ride I have been missing than the Litespeed. Maybe a tiny bit better but not enough to really notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopstretch Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Get a DeSalvo again? I don't even know what that is, but it seems logical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 That is a good thought. But the right answer is buy a Firefly that is much nicer than the DeSalvo for a lot more money. Problem solved. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPI Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Trying to decide if either Chattanooga bike is a keeper. I think a stem change would help with the Lynskey as it is quite a bit longer and flipped compared to the Litespeed. Still fairly aggressive for their non-aggressive model. I think I might keep the Litespeed as a flat pedal ride to breakfast bike and get rid of the Lynskey at this point.

CD44hi Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 If you feel they don't "call to you" to go out for a ride... then don't keep them.

VPI Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Loaner Jones bike the shop dropped off for me to use while they work on finishing mine. Riding on 3 inch tires set up tubeless with low air kind of feels like riding a full suspension bike on the street.

CD44hi Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 Moon lander effect! Also, I don't know if you remember that time we went mountain biking in north Potomac, there was a group of guys on Jones. Remember the guys on the unicycles going up the trail??

Pars Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Yep, those are rather practical if you just want to ride in any shoe. I ran something similar on my Trek 500 in the last year or so. Since switched back to eggbeater (also MTB). I had enough of walking on cleats in the '80's, thanks.

jose Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 After 4500km this year I need to replace chain (Ultegra) and the front brake disc (XTR). I ordered a Dura Ace chain and this: A friend said me that Dura Ace chain is not as strong as an Ultegra but I would like to test it. I usually change the chain between 4000-5000 kms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanDragon Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 I went to go "ride street" with a buddy yesterday. By "ride street" I mean I was going to go watch him jump stuff and ride around the city.I got about 2/10ths of a mile before this.I thought it was just a scratch, but a day later I realize it probably wasn't wise to go ride another 8-10 miles or so around town.But, installed the new carbon bar.Old Woodman 630mmNew Pro Tharsis 720mm and Pro Tharsis 80mm stemNo video of me crashing, but I did get video of me doing something I could have crashed badly on. Sadly I made it. Sorry, guys, I failed you.**BRENT** 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
