Lol..guys, what's the best route to go weight weenies? Any rule of thumb?

Owh btw I just changed the 23T cassette to 32T, and fine tuned the shifting myself and it was fun playing with the limit screws and barrel adjuster on my own. I should do it myself since the beginning and not letting lbs to have the fun  blush.gif

butthead, which one is more dangerous? spoke tension too high or too low?

if the spoke maximum limit is 130kgf, and minimum limit is 110kgf, which one is better? try to get as near as possible to 130kgf, or the middle 120kgf, or get as close as possible to 110kgf?

hi, could i get some opinions. This carbon fork has sustained damage and I am not sure if it is still safe to continue using it?

Thanks.

can't see how deep it is. i suppose it's ok. u just need to find a varnish (nail polish, clear coat spray, etc) to seal it.

if overtensioned... the spoke will fatigue faster as it was not made to handle that much stress, there is possibilities that either the nipple will crack and let go first or the spoke might snap (most of the time at the elbow or the spoke head)

under-tension on the other hand might promote freeplay on the spoke holes of the hub if they are not made to have tight tolerances... this also will wear down the spoke elbow and break some time in the future after extended use...

i won't happen immediately... most likely things you'll know after months and months of usage and depending on how you ride...

so better take the middle value; 120?

you can take the asymmetric R440 rear and normal R440 front... and why not DT Aerolite since the entire set is already built mostly of DT parts...

i personally like the RR465 which used to be called the RR1.1 if i am not wrong... it has double eyelets which is a bit more tougher at the expense of weight... i'll pair mine with a RR415 front and RR465 rear if i were to purchase mine... the rim is only 1.6mm narrower than the RR440...

you went to this section?

yes i did. not bad la the price. coz normaly those dt240 hubs alone are bloody expensive. i'd choose sapim spokes bcoz uncle boon sells sapim. can find spares if i need some

23C on 303 firecrest looks like 25C. 23C for optimum performance, 25C for comfort and toughness

you sure uncle tan got your length or not??? you better check with them on what length is on your wheel and then find out with uncle tan first... bladed spokes don't have that much room for you to cut and re-thread oh.. if he doesn't have it.. better order up spares of each length.. should mostly involve 3 lengths..
*
that one, not sure la... how many of each length should we keep as spares?

I use 25c at the rear and 23c at the front. Plenty of choices for 25c here. Anyway butthead if it's hard to find in Malaysian market there's always an online option smile.gif

Btw, I think imcyclist sells Colnago brands in Msia right. How much is the price range? Do they sell frames or only a complete bike? And what is the difference between C59 and M10 S?

I think my competitiveness level in this cycling sports has went down a notch. Retired early from all the hypes and marketing bs. I want to cycle slowly and for fitness, enjoying the scenery, no more trying to move up my ranking on Strava leaderboards.

By doing that I can enjoy cycling more. Going to shop, starbucks, checking out chicks..wearing short khakis, no bib. Radar to be replaced with aviator and the likes. but first I have to change the bike..not the mainstream spez..I want some fine Italian stallion. Will Colnagos fit the bills? Pinarello? Willier?

*no joke.
