that's the one, except I'm looking for black. I see them on eBay, but all of the idiots (many of which are in here) pay entirely too much for them.

Negative. The only thing that was really a problem was removing the pads from the holder. They were stuck in there and wouldn't slide free. I had to work it with a screwdriver and kind of tore the sides off. That's what took a long time.

The rest of it was slow, because I'm generally mechanically clumsy and take a while to get things centered, but I didn't get hung up on any of it.

Anyway, now there's something wrong with the cabling, apparently (which I recently replaced). Front brakes are sticky. The problems never end.

I'm hoping to get 90 for mine. I don't know if that's too steep a price or not though. Opinion?

Keep at it, you'll get it. Or, brakes, who needs 'em. Pick the one you like best.

Maybe I'm just too cultural, I don't know, but I found this excerpt from a conversation I saw on my Facebook news feed to be a real "wtf" moment.

Classic.

You're mature for your age. Don't let it go to your head.

I'm just sayin...

I never got fitted on my bike but my seat is pretty far back.

How do you determine the right distance?

KOP - knee over pedal.

It's more comfortable (at least from the trainer during fitting), but it just looks a bit off.

I think that's in the eBay range. I paid $140ish for my new one at the LBS... given the longer I look at it the more I hate how much I paid, but the used ones on eBay going for over $100 seems goofy.

This sucks. I finally get some semblance of interwebs going, and I cant open pics in safe mode. Blows.

Basically the knee (not sure what part, my fitter did that) should be over the pedal spindle.

are you by chance using Firefox/Vista? I just had to do a bunch of updates. Mostly for Adobe/Flash stuff I think, it got pretty wonky before and during.

Currently my (now shredded) Bontrager RL saddle is friggin awesome. Got it free as a take off from a new Madone, second (free) one should be here thursday to replace it.

Toupe was OK, but not great.

that's like a Toupe... but it's not.

The boney protrusion bellow the knee cap should line up with pedal spindal. Also remember this is only a starting point adjustment from there is ok. Go slow and small amounts at a time.

I forgot to mention that's when the crank is at 3:00

ok I'm catching up now, you kids are just too damn fast.

No. Vista and explorer. Just wont boot up in primary system. Gets to welcome screen then goes black.

Be sure the bike is on a level surface when you do it or ot wont come out right.

huh

replying to a post and being about 4 posts late to the party.

It happens with age.

Sad. Foam is missing, obviously it's ripped (and similar on the other side), and the plastic shell is snapped.



But at least I had an excuse to get.. oh wait my cat got in the way.



Here we go.
