there is no which is best.. it is up to whether you like the combination of the mix and match and whether you find too many cross gearings between both?

if you really never find yourself in a 25T at all... you can risk a 23T where you find with each jump of the cog your cadence don't fluctuate too much... jumping from small ring to big ring in a compact is no difference except you do lose top end speed with a 50t compared to a 52t, 53t or even a 55t... just a few Ks here and there anyways...

it's just a point of finding the middle ground... i would rather change cassette than to change cranks as cassette is cheaper and easier to swap or you can have multiple set of same wheels with different cassette so you can swap in wheels for the ride that you are going to that day... crank on the other hand is harder...

yeah dude... go and enjoy the ride... desa park city has it all, road, chicks and best of all "good views" (if you know wat i mean)...

but fizik sadles are so expensive i couldn't afford it even if it is 40% off...

This post has been edited by butthead: Nov 21 2012, 06:08 PM

truth is... no saddle is nice... it's an outright lie if there is a saddle that is nice and comfortable...

want nice, sit in your plush leather sofa at home...

that's for pleasure.. not comfort...

don't get both things wrong... they are very opposite direction..

clincher tyres usually list max pressure at 120psi... most people get up to 110psi for a 700 x 23c...i ride at 90 pounds for my 700 x 25c...

pumping tyres should not be tiring assuming you have a good floor pump and not using a portable hand pump... pumps like the birzman zacoo have very light downstrokes at even 100psi pressure...almost effortless... else for a cheaper price, some topeaks like joeblow sport is also quite good for its price... i like topeak for its easy to use twinhead although many complain about the valbes reliability...

clipless shoes are not dangerous... of course you do not start with them initially in high traffic areas... and even if you fall, it is mostly when you are coming to a stop where cars are slow too... worst case is you cause traffic obstruction...

but always try to ride around safe environment first

Added on November 22, 2012, 1:16 amdont understand what you meant by strength wise with the pedals... strength has no relation, it is more coordination than strength and you just do it until it becomes a natural reflex like driving a manual car

the twinhead valve got replacement mar, at least if koyak can go buy a complete replacement set...

the tire drop thing is more of a justification for wider tires... it's one of the reasons i run 25c instead of 23 instead as i can run lower pressures and it is more comfortable...

assuming with similar pressures on both tires, it should in fact lessen rolling resistance on the wider tire as contact patch with the road is reduced with less tire drop...and with more wide rims coming out, the more reason is there to use wider tires...

mine never rosak mar... + i get some discount buying the topeak shit from rodalink from member discount

not too expensive lar compared to other pumps...although those pumps are better... i would have considered zacoo if it did not use those screw type valve...

susah to do lar... twinhead just pop in and flip the lever and start stroking away...

i think i saw a set at hartamas the other day.. or was it the twinhead replacement hose.. i think it's the same one lar...

i did waste 2 pocket rockets from topeak lar... the adapter fell off the pump even before i managed to use it as the cap popped off... could not get the replacement adapter as they did not bring in the service kit...bummer...

it could be the pump.. if you are arnold, migh not be a problem.. it's a matter of whether you give pump first or the seals of the pump give way first...

birzman zacoo is fairly easy to pump... i think the more expensive one is able to handle up to 220psi.. most of the pumps up to 160psi for tubular use...getting to 100psi is fairly easy for me...

but do get the bike shop to let you try pumping it on the type of bike you have to get a feel...

the joeblow ace is a good pump and it has gimmicks like an air release button to tune the pressures in case you over pump it... unfortunately, the price doesn't agree with me...

105psi is ok... but it depends on you... if you feel that the bike is trashing around on rought roads.. you might want to decrease it a bit and maybe try 100 psi....

you have to test and get a feel for it yourself on which pressure you feel better riding??? generally, keep it within 110psi and it should be safe..

it's ok with watever you get... with carbon, you just need a little more care...

be always watchful of where you place your bike or lean them on as a tumble and an unfortunate hit of the top tube against an edge would cause it to crack for example...

other things are all up to fate as you call it... most importantly enjoy riding and don't do stupid things on the bike..

haha... lucky your bike escaped unscathed...

carbon has stiffness but not tensile strength like their steel counter parts... it will break if it is hit with the right force and the right angle which explains the bar cracking as it was not design to take those sort of impacts...however they lay the carbon or whether they used unidirectional carbon cloth also will have a change.. just a decreased chance of bad news...

it's a compromise with carbon parts...

but, to crash a carbon frame to oblivion... the rider would never be coming out of it in any better shape anyway as the crash would be of biblical proportions in order to truly destroy a carbon frame...

fork is most likely the first thing to go in a head on collision...

i heard grain is not good in the sense that it causes inflammation and it's not good for joints or something like that...but not because of sugar or carbs...

what happens is that you need to know what sort of carbs you are eating as there is complex and simple carbs...

in fact, pasta is in the same category as whole gains as complex carbs... so, i don't understand much of the logic there..

with simple carbs, the carbohydrates gets broken down into glycogen for storing faster while the complex carbs takes longer (why, i don't know.. i just understand it the way it is...life is too short to question everything...why testicals produce sperm and ovaries produce eggs??? i dunno too... it's just why not)

in that sense, simple carbs means something that will give you an immediate boost of energy in a short period of timing while complex carbs will trickle it to you in a longer time span...

so.. an athlete will need to understand when to be taking in which type of carbs as it is a balancing act...

this explains why you need to carbo load the night before an event and most of the carbo loading is done with pasta and the type of slow carbs as it will take time to digest, convert and then get stored in time for you to use it hours later...

after an exhaustive session... simple carbs is good as it replenishes faster and allows for recovery process of your muscles to start...
