Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

How is it switching from asymmetrical rings to standard on a regular basis (assuming you do of course)?

I've ridden enough on the Q Rings that it doesn't feel strange to me, and I have them set to a less than extreme setting.

Ok, I'm just going to have to throw this in just because I feel like I'm morally obliged to do so.

Do. Not. Ride. Those. Wheels.

ive ridden them, like them, and have also seen them fail. thats not the problem here though. if you show up to a race with those they are going to send you home.

if you hospitalize yourself training thats one thing, sending someone else to the hospital in a race is another. even if they dont fail, they could really hurt someone in a crash.

edit:
please remount your tires with the label correctly placed.

We are talking about the R-Sys, not the Spinergy, right?

Oh, I was saying don't ride the R-Sys.

Go ahead and give the Spinergy to a hipster. They seem to like them.

I got a new pic of my bike for this thread. It came out awesome too. This was 1 lap from winning the circuit race I competed in today. A few months ago allot of you gave me flak for my low lever mounting on my bars. This pic shows the position that I love my drops this low for. Not to mention I have Spinergy Stealth FCCs. Spinergy FTW! lol.

Do you even know the history of these? Are there any nicks in the fiber? Is the clearcoat pealing? Are they yellowing? Do they have lots of miles?

Are they early or late wheels? The lates are more reliable. I have a mint low milage late set I would tt on but the early wheels are wall art.

Pm me a pic of the hubs and I can give you more info. I also probably have NOS red decals, yellow decals, and x braces. Both my parents raced these in the day.
