This got me thinking about the saddle on my road bike yesterday. I have my MTB set up pretty perfectly I think, at least no discomfort in the knees or in the sit bones. When I got home yesterday I realized that the saddle on my roadie was a good inch high… »

Got is a pretty great 32km MTB ride today. Not much climbing at about 300 meters but plenty enough for me. temps got to 35 degrees, blazing sun and little to no shade to be found. Lots of decomposed granite to make it interesting. »

@G’rilla I like it! After Im done with school and get a job I have some bike upgrades in mind for the bikes. new fork for the Niner and Ultegra build/bling wheels for the C’Dale. I have BB30, so either Shimano gets off the pot and makes BB30 cranks, or Il… »

@thebaron Interesting. I do hate how firm those are, but I like the mouth piece. »
I am amazed at the OCD and ADD I have developed as an adult. I woulda never cared even 5 years ago. »
@thebaron I can assure you that I understand. when it comes to my C’Dale I am very particular. Im even contemplating getting new bidons cause I dont like the way the ones I have look on the bike. »
@thebaron huh. I never heard of that. But honestly, I am a huge fan of Shimano so I never looked into it. »
@thebaron I dont get that, how do you have a Shimano cassette on a Campa hub? »

@snoov great to hear. I was freaking out. I installed a set but have yet to ride em. I keep pumping air in every 2 days just so they sit in my apartment. I just dont want the latex to find a way between the bead. »

@G’rilla what size? »
@RedRanger's posts:
a question about latex tubes, do they leak air more rapidly than standard tubes? »

@frank I keep saying that. Tucson isn’t a bad place to vacation in the winter. It’s not Hawaii but its not bad. You’ll find many a pro team having their winter training camps here. You can do a Frank vs the Lemmon series. »
@piwakawaka no. It’s 2 hour climb for the very fit rider. 21 miles at 5%. »
We have 1 mountain to climb and descend. »

It was posted on the Fairwheel bikes FB page. If you like bike bling, you should like their page. They do a lot of really costum stuff, even fabricating carbon stuff. Those Tune tea tests I posted a while back sell for $240 a set. These bidons are pretty… »
@Mikael Liddy @ped @Steampunk I think the important question is, would he ride it if he had to? I always wonder how much of what riders say is just repeating the “party line” »
