BurgerBob Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Green Speedplay Xero pedals. I love Speedplay, gets me off the front fast every time.Mike, no running, just a 30-mile time trial with 4 (3, actually) guys. It wasn't bad on my back - I'm way more sore after riding my drops for a while. In my super limited experience, I think properly set up aero bars can be a nice change from drops, but only every now and then.Finally won a crit today! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Dastardly Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 I used to love speedplay pedals. After the initial "getting used to", they're pretty sweet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurgerBob Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 on your way to Cat 4 patJust put in my upgrade requests! I'm going to get pummeled. Cat 4 lap time were on average 5s faster per lap today (and the fastest guys didn't show up).I used to love speedplay pedals. After the initial "getting used to", they're pretty sweet.I never want to go to anything else. The Xeros are completely rebuildable, 0-15 degrees of float, more adjustment than any other popular road pedal, made in America, and the cleats (with covers) last forever. AND they're great for crit races - racing 5, I'm usually the first to clip in and go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudge_Brownie Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 I learned the hard way not to accidentally spray chain wax on my rear brake. By riding a wheelie right to the balance point as soon as I left the garage, reaching for the rear brake to modulate it, and immediately finding myself laying on my back with the bike on top of me.

Forgot to lube mine after a very wet ride in the Spring and they are squeaking like crazy now. Nothing pisses off other riders like squeaks and knocks.

iPd Cameron Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Building up a couple new bikes simultaneously right now. First is a new All-City Mr. Pink. I got hit by a car a couple months ago while riding my red All-City (I'm fine but the bike is dead) so this is the replacement:Scored some good deals on parts so it'll be built up with a mix of Thomson, ENVE, Chris King and SRAM Red. Just need to decide on/build wheels for it and it'll be good to go.I also came up on a good deal on a Geekhouse Rockcity frameset. I had pretty much all the parts sitting around already to build it so I figured why not, even though I'm sure I'll get plenty of hipster accusations For now it'll be set up with Thomson seatpost/collar/stem, Chris King Headset, Fizik saddle, Paul Components cranks and a mismatched wheelset (Velocity rear/H Plus Son TB14 front). It'll change over time too I'm sure. New wheelset eventually for sure and I still need to decide what bars and front brake I want to run on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyfishing3 Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 What's the story about battling cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iPd Cameron Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) Very cool builds Cameron! Thanks! I'm very happy with how both of them are shaping up and excited to get them out and put miles on them.What's the story about battling cars? Short version is I was crossing an intersection and got hit by a guy turning right on a red. It was 100% his fault and thankfully he wasn't going that fast yet since he was taking off from a stop. Still hit me hard enough to take the bike out from under me and bounce me off the hood though. One upside is that since the All City was my commuter/rain bike I'd been mostly off my Cielo since the fall. Been riding it exclusively the last couple months and putting good miles on it. Love this bike: Edited August 20, 2015 by iPd Cameron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
