Timbo Slice Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 I hear those aren't the lightest tires on the market ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfishing3 Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 I fill them with helium though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Slice Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Well now you're talking. Just don't overfill them or you risk traction issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icerockt Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Yeah I'm running conti GP 4000s II 25mm love them Tubular or clincher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesoam Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) Clincher, I think mike would roll a tubular right off the rim Travis is taking the whole sun protection thing a little too far.... That's pretty impressive riding Edited June 20, 2014 by Mesoam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iPd Cameron Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Swapped the chainring on my All City for a Race Face narrow wide. Dropped the chain twice with the other chainring and thought I'd give a different chainring a shot instead of adding a chain guide. The Wolf Tooth rings are nice, but a bit on the pricey side. Same with the Absolute Black rings (although I'll admit I considered an Absolute Black just because they look so cool). Picked up the Race Face ring for less than $50 and it kicks ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD. Not super psyched on the graphics but the look is growing on me. The thing is beautifully machined and finished and the narrow/wide tooth profile hold the chain super snugly. No more dropped chains and whisper quiet drivetrain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mesoam Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 CF is simply the current standard for decent road bikes. I like the ride of CF, forgiving, comfortable, nimble. Downsides, rattles, vibration, lack of reliable repair I'll never own another ALM bike again if I ever get another metal bike it will be Ti.
