From cateye website only LD-610 got a white color color as you mentioned.

LD-650 adds two more side mounted LEDs for maximum visibility from all directions, compared to LD-610 with all 5 LED facing same direction.

Just our of curiosity, does the normal brake pad work seamless on these wheels?  hmm.gif

you do have to run carbon specific pads on carbon brake tracks.. zipp makes some cork pads which are quite good... or swiss stop yellow series... or you end up with a grabby set of brakes or you suffer issues with pads fading...

there are pads that work both types of brake tracks, think the swiss stop is one of 'em...but it is never advised to swap wheels without swapping pads as metal debris can get lodged in the pads and accelerate the wear on the carbon wheels...

You may opt for blinker and get it tied on your seat stay. I have seen some riders having few on the seat stay

most models have brackets to mount it to post or seat stay.. shouldn't be an issue... jus make sure it doesn't fly into spokes or catastrophe...

for me, i clip onto jersey rear pocket...

most threads are already a failure when it gets started... so why border if it fails minimally or to the max... failing is failing... do you not get whacked in the nuts differently by your parents whether you failed 10% , 50% or 100% of your exam...

as homer once said... "trying is the first step towards failure"... so is opening a thread... if we don't open LYN will be an epic failure... we have to put aside our personal ideals in view of the bigger picture...

spinergy rev-x back then was a dangerous wheels... cutting heads and finger off...

but to be fair... they are both very different despite being carbon wheels... i mean the method in which they are built and how much difference in stiffness between the rev-x and madfibre or anything alike..

madfibre bonds their fibre around the entire hub shell and i dun understand it too well... but somehow uses the hub placement to put the spokes in tension and get a true wheel...

spinergy i think pins the spokes on the the carbon rims...and composites tech have grown so much over the years.. i bet if they make rev-x now, they would employ more sophisticated methods..

yesterday ride from Orang Asli Hospital to Batu Tinggi and Hot Spring total 65KM, my right knee is hurting, not so serious but can feel the pains when coming up from Hot spring to Genting Sempah.

As we know, cycling is less impact sport for knee, now my right knee is hurting, this must be a serious case right? meaning i shall rest more?

oh, 1 last thing, i'm just completed HK100 ultra trail race on 18-19 Feb. so i suspect my right knee is not fully recovered.

cycling is a low impact sport... unlike running.. but you have to remember that going through a full motion of a pedal stroke is much more than what you knee has to go through compared to running... and (65rpm x 60 mins x 1.5 hours) is jus under 6000 pedal strokes... you imagine...

on the contrary to many beliefs.. i was corrected by runners that running actually isn't bad for joints... as impact sports like running actually encourages your body to build more denser bone structures hence stronger bones... assuming you have enough of the calcium and wateve it needs to build it in the first place...

as for your pain... i think you should look into area like your cleat placement in the first place... if it is long term pain, you can go to expert fitters like BG fit studio in GH speedbike... that is if you don't mind paying RM800...

if not, play around with the clea adjustment and see if it helps... i have some bio-mechanics reference.. but too boring too read and often too lengthy i rather let my knee wear itself down... and i often get more confused than before i start reading it...

What is your cadence like? Mashing the pedals at low cadences can put too much force on the knees. Saddle position too can be a factor. However if you injured your knee in the trail race then that should be it.

As long as you're not heel striking, which is why many runners mess themselves up.

Don't think that's an impact problem. I encountered this 3 times so far, and managed to narrow it down to the angle of my foot on the pedals.

I just rested my leg for 2 days, then its alright after that.
