Upgrade: Bicycle, you need another one to match with your new jersey

Cleat: easy to use and its normal to fall down when you are getting used to it. On the positive note, you will be sumber hiburan kawan kawan while getting used to it

Depends.
What is your bicycle's spec in the first place?
For example; if standard groupset already Ultegra, then no need to upgrade to Dura-Ace la.

The easier way is to buy a complete bike but for sure pricey also la.  sweat.gif  moneyflies.gif  moneyflies.gif

BTW, there are 2 type of frames from Cannondale. 1 is the Hi-Mod and the other is the normal version.
Visually, it looks identical but according to LBS, Hi-Mod is lighter and stiffer than the normal frame although it's the same model (e.g.: System Six Hi-Mod vs System Six).  whistling.gif

Hey sifus. Wanna ask. If premium aluminium like CAAD12 or CAAD13, is it better than entry level carbon bikes?

Thinking of switching my camp o2 to CAAD13. Is this a wise move?

Premium aluminium like CAAD / Allez is always more desirable than entry level carbon frames like COMP / Twitter / etc and might be lighter too
*
some people said that the ride might be "harsher". is it that bad?

and actually looking for CAAD13. But people complain the welding n colour for it is bad. So maybe gonna look for CAAD12. Wonder how far the gap between 12 and 13.

QUOTE(malleus @ Nov 23 2020, 12:53 PM)
Harsher rides can be bad, as it potentially tires out your overall body quicker. Different riders can take to this differently, some ppl have higher tolerances for this than others.

But having said that, it's not really accurate to attribute harshness to just frame material alone. Frame material does have a certain amount of effect on this, but for the most part it's effected by the frame design itself.

I see

Decisions decisions

Damn my mind is filled with caad13 now
