QUOTE(Mac Wai @ Jan 2 2013, 09:15 PM) Hi, if I intend to get a bike fit like a boss, should I just go and leave it to the expert or firstly to do some research and experiment of my own, at least I can give more accurate feedback for them to work on? 2 ways to look at this...we are talking about bike fitting right? not size /frame fitting?wat miao says, throw money and listen to the experts... 2nd, expeiment around and find out what you are uncomfortable or un-satisfied with...this will become a base for you and your fitter to work on and improve upon... what a true biomechanics fitting session does at the begining is an assesment of your physical condition (how flexible you are and critical measurements of your body parts) and an interview on the discomforts you feel on the bike for them to work on... they will then use their tools to help you adjust your position or recommend changes to certain things like moving saddle positions changing stem length or even adding biomehanical insole wedges to your existing shoe to correct improper tracking of your knees when you turn the cranks... that is how they conduct bg fit or retul fit sessions... you can youtube them to gain an understanding... think there is a nice bg fit demo video done by a spez dealer to show how a session is ran... there is also this dude called nick flyger who used to be hired by our national sports council to be their biomechanist and also penned a column in cycling malaysia... he did some fitting sessions for amateurs for quite an affordable fee but i think he has already left the post here back to his home country australia... i wrote to him before discussing on biopace cranks before and some positioning queries during his time with cycling malaysia and he did reply with some rather interesting insights...

QUOTE(mrjgx @ Jan 3 2013, 02:02 AM) Agreed! Reviews will somehow narrow down your hunt. I'm on 2nd saddle now (prologo scratch pro) and was pretty comfortable for about a year until I itchy wanna try Fizik. Luckily my new lbs has Fizik ranges for demo (all in yellow colors with demo label). you can invite yourself...About the 2012 bikes, no Specialized?? Colnago looks awfully plain! What's so special about it apart from being Italian? OTH, contador is here in Dubai! He'll be riding on the official officiating ceremony on my usual 85km route..sadly the ceremony is by invitation only...haihs.. colnago is all about the history of the bike... you buy a piece of history like campy supporters...

maybe they have police escort and form a circle around the peloton... anyone in front they shoot on sight or ask you to bugger off the road...

QUOTE(miaopurr @ Jan 3 2013, 10:23 AM) i really don't understand this 'ghost rider' attitude. if don't wanna pay for entry fee, just don't join the ride la. sure, u don't take their water, food, etc, but u still enjoy the traffic control. these riders have another 53 weekends in a year to ride that route, why still wanna gatecrash the event? there just is this sort of people mar... it's the fact...Added on January 3, 2013, 10:30 amsorry if i hurt any ghost riders' feelings. but it's just not cool to gatecrash other people's events maybe they should give authority to paid riders to whack the shit out of this fellas using whatever they have on their bikes... heck, i'd for once break my own rule and join this events i'll get ready my biggest possible multi-tool ![]() |

QUOTE(mrjgx @ Jan 3 2013, 10:54 AM) Ghost rider sounds great if I were to meet contador but nope I will not do that. There'll be police escort for sure as the prime minister is coming too. And the police here damn strict, you could be ended up in jail for a very small reason.. boonen rides on all 3 roubaix, venge and tarmac depending on the races... while contador rides exclusively on the tarmac... never seen him hop on the venge before for a race....Anyway I'd prefer if Boonen came here..both are riding my dream bike so it's ok though 2010 sees him on the roubaix for the opening stage of le tour when it passes the cobble stages...then it was back to tarmac all the way... ![]() nice ass...

QUOTE(miaopurr @ Jan 3 2013, 02:56 PM) anyway, got my toupe already and installed. i pushed it back rearwards 15mm, because when i compared it with arione, if i place the two saddles side by side, arione's nose is longer by 15mm, with the widest part (wing) of both saddles at same position. if you sit on the rear a whole lot.. i suppose that would be the way.. but isn't the curvature of the arione a bit more forward than the toupe... if that is the case, it would be causing you to sit further back will it not?so i had set it up by maintaining the widest part of the old and new saddle, at the same position. butthead, is this the right way to do it? ![]() QUOTE(miaopurr @ Jan 3 2013, 02:56 PM) Added on January 3, 2013, 2:57 pm i don't think so. because he would not want to lose the limited edition status QUOTE(miaopurr @ Jan 3 2013, 02:56 PM) Added on January 3, 2013, 2:59 pm and get a lightweight saddle too.
