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

This must have been compensation for making you roll those pink rims. Your SS has never looked better!

Parlee is sooo hot. Only thing I don't like are the blue spacers.

A 39 x 28 low gear is plenty for an unloaded road bike IMO.

Can't go wrong with Enves, although the previous wheelset with the pink rims wasn't too bad either.

I know the tire choice won't get much love here, but I had them laying around and decided to finally use them. They are actually growing on me.

My modest road stable:

You're right, I don't like the red, but that is in general, not just on your rides. other than that, nice. extra points for flying on Flo's...

thank you.

i havent ridden too many wheels and these are my first deep carbon wheels, so i dont feel that i have the experience to give a detailed review. to be concise, they handle great, hold speed really well, and sound like a jet plane. the weight is noticeable when accelerating and climbing, even at my 205 pound weight. i am waiting for the flo30's to come out so i can get a set for the Felt.

I like that one a whole bunch as well, all blue and white. But why do you make it live under the stairs?

Bar angle has issues. Flatten out those drops, then hot.

I agree, if you talking about in the city. I ride mostly in the south bay, Santa Cruz mtns and Hicks Rd quit often. I would rather spin up 6-10% then mash. Everyone does it different though.
