the video from sramtech is no longer available... i think they removed it and replaced it with the new red shifter set up...

but the ruler method is actually not as good if you like your shifter tilted up... the ruler method is a sort of middle ground where your reach for the brake levers from the drops is well covered while the shifter is not tilted up so much...again, what bars you use affects a lot on how the shifter transition feels from bar to hood..

for a lack of examples..

contadors shifter setup... tilted quite high (the bike is propped up from the back, so the shifter looks very level)


andy schleck's setup... from the days of saxo and sram...he prefers his shifter more lower and forward... but he also uses a shallow drop while contador is more on a compact i believe...


a better comparison of their shifter height side by side (not quite side by side, but pretty close)


perspective wise hard to gauge... but boonen's setup is also pointing the shifter quite forwards...

i guess contador likes his shifter that way because it is an easier reach for him as he uses the hoods quite a lot both in and out of saddle...

for your case... i think you have to adjust the bars to where you like it... especially the drops where you hold them..and then unwrap your bar tape and move the shifters up further and re-wrap again... a bit trial and error until you get it dialed in...

you challenging us to it???

challenging??? not really especially when i am on my ES5...

back to back is of no use...

I think Sungai Buloh is a bit opposite direction right??? or you meant sungai buloh NSE entrance and come out at rawang exit?

Evans 2nd place is even more pointless after seeing the results with Hyjedal and Wiggins all having the same finishing time as him...only gained some 12 secs for evans and 8 for hyjedal... if the winning margin is as close as last year... then this seconds might be important...

but as the article below says... the critical riders are already showing their cards that early on and it might reveal to wiggins what form they are in ahead of the climbing stages... they are trying to rake up every bit of gain before the next ITT comes up...

Hesjedal defiant over his stage 3 attacks at the Giro d’Italia

and Sky management is screwing with Froome's head...
Brailsford: Froome, not Wiggins, is Sky’s Tour leader

you're ready for 100 any day... jus maybe you end up slogging the last 30K back home...

i think you should give the next century ride a try... it's an experience and you get to feel how 160k feels like...jus skip 100k and do 100miles

Batu Caves -> Ulu Yam -> KKB...

can eat loh mee...

expressways you meant...also not legal too...

excuses... time is what you find yourself...

irrelevant post...

wat does that have to do with GE???

as our Prime Mojito says...we have to accept the results of the GE and move forward...therefore we have to accept that this is a sports related thread and move forward with being more serious about sports and not some chicks from nowhere...

base training is best done as a solitary practice or with 1 or 2 of your close ride buddies who rides at your pace...

there is no point getting shielded in training... you don't ride in shelter most of the time anyways...

yeah... wat about EX5??? i have the EX5.. now i want the ES5

expressway is NSE highway is federal...hence North South Expressway and Federal Highway...

for the very obvious... expressway is comprised of 10 characters and highway is 7 characters long...

for the less obvious... expressway is the same sucky pothole filled road that has less lubangs to make access for lazy folks harder and constant urination stops to encourage you to buy junk from overpriced shops and the highways are the reverse of it except for sucky potholes...

i hope i made my self politically clear and there will be no disputes about the explanation and no social media outburst on why the explanation was not made available to the general public nor was there phantom posters that came up with the explanation that explains nothing...

it's either that or scratching the sand out of his balls... pick your activity...

i thought students were the ones who have the most time...

i thought you were there for quite long already.... still not getting used to it yet? i think you need one of this at your place of residence turned on day and night to help you adapt...and also when you ride on trainer... give you more realistic feel... like motion master with 3D...


change out the mist spray for some sand spray to get some real life feel of the UAE outdoors...
