    Road wheelsets. Mavic vs. Shimano.

    Patent award??? One company has proven marketing. One company has a proven product. I don't really care for Mavic wheels. They aren't lighter, stiffer, faster, or stronger than anything else that can be had at the various price points. But every shop in the world stocks the parts to...

    I'm easily stoked on this aluminum privateer racer bike trend.

    why did you downsize? Got my girlfriend the same bike (Allez Evo, for those wondering). Swapped the stem (Zipp Service Course), bars (Zipp Service Course), post (Thomson straight), and wheels (K Elite). Love it. Want one of my own. She's pretty happy with it, as well. 3lbs lighter than her...

    Full carbon clinchers as training wheels

    When someone has poor luck with Swiss Stops, I recommend Zipp Tangente cork pads. I don't know why, but when yellows don't work, the Tangentes seem to. I've heard good reviews about the black Zipp carbon pads, as well. Never tried them, though. Zipp has a new pad coming out that is supposed to...

    PF BB30 crank question

    I've got over a year of crits, training, and commuting on a set of SRAM bearings. I will be a repeat customer. The only negative experience I've had with any bb30 bearings involves whatever pieces of **** Cannondale specs with their bikes.

    PF BB30 crank question

    remove plastic washers from driveside. they only need to be on NDS. tighten crank fully...the wavy washer needs to be compressed almost all the way. if it's flat, it's compressed too much. if it's barely compressed, as a plastic washer. those guys are roughly .5mm thick. --edit-- SI cranks are...

    Cavendish to Team Sky for 2012

    One thing I enjoy about Team Sky is that their lack of podium presence keeps Pinarello off of the front of mags. As much as I enjoy Cav, I'm hoping Team Sky keeps up their winning ways.

    BB30 adapters

    Nope, not really. They're quite nice to deal with, compared to BB30. I do use a very thin layer of grease to help press them in, but that's it.

    Anyone else think we saw a clean Leipheimer for the last couple of weeks?

    Friend of mine works at The Outdoorsman. Awesome, huh?

    BB30 adapters

    I prefer to stick with the sleeve that presses into the frame (SRAM/ FSA/ Cannondale). No creaks, removable. I have used the Wheels Manufacturing kind that press into the BB30 bearings, but tolerances on those seem to be slightly off, which leads to a slight be of side-to-side play in the...

    Destruction...

    Holy ****. If you don't call Shimano about that, I will. I'll even pay to get the cranks shipped to me. That's an awesome failure.

    Roadie levers and Mountain Drivetrain?

    I have set up a few Red + XX Rd + 11/36 cassettes. It's compatible. I would buy whatever cranks you want and the appropriate FD. Crank will be dependent upon the frame (mtn or road) and FD will be dependent upon that (mtn or road).
