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?

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

Cheap bartape usually how much. o.o

contador attacks at the Vuelta this year..what a climber he is...monstrous lung for sure !!!

no such thing as far as i know... cheapest i bought is like 45bucks still...unless u want to take those taken out from a new bike... then u can try nego with bike owner

i dun think he can attack the steep stuff anymore like the climbs in giro and vuelta...at least not dropping his rivals...which is why he chose to tkae time on purito in one of the easier stage where coincidentally purito was showing signs of struggling as well

awesome!

hahahaha the funny thing was 30% of my load was spare parts and tools, where i only brought with me 2 piece of baju for a 10 day trip. a side note: head and shoulders shampoo make the best hotel sink detergent. hehehehe

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!)
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

hey thanks man..my thumbs is in pain now..good tips..tmorrow im gonna sun bathe this damn tyre..i never had this type of stubborn tyre to the fact that I think it is the wrong size and to return it to shop...

i am on the cheaper romin, previously on prologo nago evo ts before prologo have a big presence here... before that, san marco..

maybe selle italia could be next, or fizik...but i am liking the spez except for some creaking sound after a while

Added on December 16, 2012, 12:10 amcannot imagine only have 2 shirts for 10days...how did you come back on return trip? by bus?

yeah, should do more while you still can... until things and commitment start tieing you down

Added on December 16, 2012, 12:17 ami soap it if it is too hard, also good to use levers where you can hook onto spokes if you don't have an extra pair of hands around the house

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...

hey..great! the warm soapy tips worked like a charm...what a PITA..im a happy man

oh. last update.

cheers

Get the race series..it'll suit you in the long run later on, unless you intend to be leisurely riding then the ride series will suit you more.

Added on December 16, 2012, 12:58 pmIs there any effect of using an oversize stem? Apart from the looks, will there be any real advantage?
