Oddly, the more I ride, the less I give a **** about what's on my bike.

Rival...:thumb: notice any difference w/ the 175's?

Chad


I moved from 172.5's to 175's on both bikes, feels great. I sold the Kilo and got a new track bike, Leader 725TR. Rides great! =)

^^^^ you need to work on the engine and core so you can flip it and ride it hard. then worry about part upgrades. later.

Sit on bike.
Pedal.
Repeat.

It'll all make sense eventually.

Stretch plenty, use foam rollers on IT band, hip flexor strengthening, and do lots of planks.

Are those the Ergosum bars? Looks very nice. Makes me wish I had waited for the Rival CAAD9. I think I will have to go with the 3T stem / bar combo very soon!

jesspal 08-15-09 12:44 PM

Yeah they are ergosum bars, I really like them and got them for a great deal on PBK a few months ago.

Anyone here actually compared the stock seatpost to a light one? It's laughable how heavy it is.

How heavy is it? I want to change it but i'm not sure what to swap it with.

update, moved the brifters down about 1/2 an inch. more agressive, lower position when in the hoods. I'll be racing tomorrow =)
