hey daniel, man it was a pain. neither the cane creek or campy style headsets worked. local mechanic found something that worked through trial-error.
gonna slam the caad10?
tmonk, i was on LA as a D. did SD RR and some TTTs as a C, but my RR performances were pretty bad. i didn't want to upgrade until i won a crit. didn't happen unfortunately. happy with 4th at davis, santa barbara, and reno though.
collegiate was awesome. with 75 bucks for team dues, our transportation/rooms/registration fees were covered 100%.
We only skipped SLO, because of a history of bad injuries there, and Humboldt due to distance, but we did represent socal with uci in Reno.

Ya, the semester after I graduated they finally hosted a road weekend...
RR was full of Roubaix-type crappy roads, power climbs and wind.
TT was uphill
Crit was through campus and pretty much straight up and down a hill, barely big-ringable.
Damn.
I never went as far down as UCSB to race but I did intern there (materials research lab) during the summer of '09 and road the crit course every wednesday night during practice.

Is that 1 spacer?
If not, than get some really thin ones and lower it a spacer every couple weeks until you feel that you have gone too low.
There's no reason not to.

I have purchased a new racing bicycle frameset. Hoping to build it up this weekend, will post a picture once it's completed.
