from pressing with my numb fingers... the foam density is harder on the fizik hence the need for a longkang... the prologo has active density foam or some sorta shit li tat that helps without the longkang...

how about adamo saddle??? different placing and bigger longkang...

that one is tri kaki use...never tried before but apparently very famous among tri kakis...

i wonder the nose is so wide, does it feel funny?

but i think it is meant for tri kakis who is constantly sitting on the nose rather than further back while in aero crouch...

haha... looks like they are helping promote spez saddles... they are wide enough especially around the nose and they have multiple sizing... their saddles are also considered to be rock hard by the pansies...

good article. now need to make some homemade assometer.

i tried spez romin once, very supportive and comfortable compared to my arione, but the nose was just too wide.

make some agar agar and sit on it... after that, you can take it and stuff it at your GFs face and gross her out... make sure you don't wear anything when you sit on it... maybe it will leave behind one or 2 hair, even more grosser...hahahahahahha

yeah spez nose is wider and causes chaffing on the thighs for some people... but i like the wider nose...

Oh wise one. Do you find adjusting the real derailurs a breeze? Despite the YouTube sifu, somehow I still didn't get it quite right, frustrating la!
Messing around with the barrel and limit screw, end up getting screwed deeper in trouble. Seems the gear hangs up a bit when shifting down and on the other hand, when shifting up, short rattling before getting it into the grove. How la like tat?
Anything I can do or visit my LBS? cry.gif

usually once you set the upper and lower limit properly it should be quite straight forward using the barrel adjuster to fine tune.::

else bring it to lbs as it could be something else like a bent hanger causing issues

hi, another newbie here. scouting around, and with +-2k budget, i found one that catches my eyes, merida race lite 900.. read the first post in v4, couldnt brain much from that! haha.. wish me luck..
(do tell me to reconsider if this is really a BAD choice!) tongue.gif
thanks

p/s: can anyone be kind enough to enlighten me on the difference between merida ride and merida race series? compare the equivalent model and found that the only difference is the frame, but cant see what
*
it's not a bad choice... the race and ride series are built for different purposes... the race frame as the name states is a more racier geometry, it is built to be more compact with a lower head tube causing a bigger saddle to bar drop meaning you have to bend down a bit more..

ride on the other hand is the opposite of race in a more longer headtube so u sit more upright... basically it is a frame meant for more comfortable long distance riding and a mellower handling characteristic...

many bike brands do a simillar 2 frame lineup like this...

On separate note, can i depend on the measurement method found on this website for my bike sizing?

http://www.ebicycles.com/bicycle-tools/frame-sizer/road-bike

I am 172cm tall, so based on that, the frame range i should be looking at is "53cm, 54cm, 55cm, 56cm"
*
personally, no.. i don't think you should base your measurement on that..

currently, height measurement does not equate to a pre-determined frame size and neither does your inseam as the height of saddle can be adjusted more variably with the introduction of more compact - sloping top tube frames...a bike fit should however take into account the riders torso length, arm length and also their flexibility alongside their measurements of the lower body like inseam... which is why fit calculator starts off with 3 types of fitting to first find out what sort of riding posture you can or prefer to be riding on your new frame...

if you have the time and the help of another person.. try this instead
