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

Then flip it up as I do with my Cateye Double Wireless. Works just fine.

remove the saddle bag. Big ring (I can forgive this), angle of picture. Looks like its going uphill and a dead on straight shot would be recommended. That's now the second time I've seen someone install their cadence sensor wrong. Does it not fit the other way? And how did you cut the zip ties holding it down? I see 2 long pieces of plastic in the area where it looks like its holding down the cadence sensor.
I have had a bike where the cadence/speed sensor had to be set up that way. With the arm down, if I angled the sensor away from the wheel to provide enough clearance to the wheel magnet, the sensor hit the crank arm magnet. Only happened on one bike so far, but as far as I could figure at the time, the senor arm had to be up to get the appropriate clearance.

The handle bars on the cannondale looks fine to me the levers are level with the bottoms of the bars. I always thought that was the way to set them up. That being said it seems with the newer handlebar shape / brifters people seem to have the levers higher.

Maybe it's my perception of the photo but it looks like the bottom of the are pointed slightly up instead of level or slightly down.

I wonder if it is because of the top tube that has a slight angle? Ill have to double check them, I like the drops completely level

Well... I point mine at the rear brake, so bars are a bit tipped up. Of course, my bike is hardly performance art.

With my Zipp SL bars the tops are level but the drops angle slightly down. Overall they point slightly over the rear brake. It feels good this way as I am seated in the drops a lot due to the winds here.

For compact bars, I point drops at rear brake like the Neil Pryde and Allez above. On traditional bars I usually aim a little lower than the rear brake. Ergo bars seem to have a wide variety of angles, and I agree that Bianchi10's should be level - I'm thinking it's possibly the bike stand elevating the rear wheel slightly that makes them look 'off'.

Hi, only pointed out what I was perceiving because this is the Hot-r-Not thread. Function and ergonomics are secondary here. Obviously, I need to recalibrate my eyeballs. bianchi10, thanks for being as OCD as I am.

Just brought the Parlee home today, no time for outdoor shot so you will have to bare with my kid infested home. Times like this I wish I still had my fill flashes and reflector panels but I did as best I could with equipment I had. Once the weather gets better I will do some outdoor shots.

I think I would have rather seen a black saddle but I still give it a hot.

the 9000 crankset is ugly on its own, but on a frame, I like it better than 7900.
