I have zero experience with Campy, but want to help a buddy replace hub bearings (rear is making noise, so planning on going through both while I'm at it). LBS support for anything Campagnolo...
I have one, but it could be the wrong size. Gotta be it. Thanks.
Hub: Powertap SL+ (6802 and 6902 cartridge bearings), 32 hole laced to Kinlin Niobium 30.
History: Bought new and put maybe 5k miles on it. Seen some rain but nothing crazy.
Symptoms: Lots...
7800 is better than either group.
Classic BF. :lol:
Save your $600. Carbon components don't have any noticable effect on road buzz, weight, and if anything, will be less stiff than aluminum.

I'm about to take a swing at BB30 for the first time. Anyone have words of advice? Preferred grease? With the correct bushings and a headset press, I assume it to be straightforward. I have heard...
Very ambitious. I love it. I think the aesthetics are good and are a distant secondary concern to ride characteristics.
Do you have any objective stiffness data available? Of course, the CAAD9,...
No. My son is also named Bort.

(Yes)
Does the Si-SL live up to the hype?
People LOVE winning, even if they're not actually racing.
Hint: companies don't go to Asia for the craftsmanship.
Having worked in outsourced manufacturing (finance) for years and spent quite a bit of time in Southeast Asia, I recently ordered a frame...
Women's specific design?
If it costs a lot, it must be good.
That's one of my regular routes as I live ~3 miles away. That first section is about 8%. Up the road a bit, it goes to ~12%. There's a bunch of different skyline rides with similar climbs. My...

ALL FULL. STAY OUT.
As you know, most outsourced bike stuff that you see at the LBS is dirt cheap to make. If the LBS didn't end up making boat and BMW payments for the big brand's marketing guys (ceramic ions! carbon...

In Portland? Who's that? I can think of a few guys (ok, more than a few) who laid the wood to me this year, but I didn't know there was a 5--> 2 upgrade.
My HR strap has been collecting dust since the day my powertap arrived. Why would you want to measure the (delayed) response to work when you have the capability to measure the work itself?
Effin' lame crit. Fought hard to stay up front and position well for the sprint. Taken out in the last corner for the second time this year. Sweeping the field should earn you a neck punch.
Love it, but cringe whenever I see the crank. No Si SL is a huge load of fail.
He's maxed out the drop on a 56 and would have to go 2cm higher on a 58. At least that's all we can tell from a photo.
Unless you need/want > 12cm or so of drop, I think it makes sense to size...
Drop and reach are pretty good, IMO. Photoshop angle tool guesses you're at about 84 degrees. I'm sure it feels aggressive, but you'll ride into it. Some would suggest a shorter stem (not me). ...
