Think he is saying it looks like a billboard of logo's

+1. I don't think I'm a fan of wheels with huge decals on them.

Whoops, Instagram.

Wheels aren't deep enough!

In the what road bike do you have? thread the HED stickers were absent, which way are they now?

Do you eat your dinner on them dinner plates!? Are those 80mm's or 90mm's??

90mm, so fun in crosswinds. 6,925g completed, awww yeeaaah.

And yes, I did get some decals for them, I'll be putting on the final set... someday...

Test riding a caad 10 5 this Friday. Can't wait

Don't do it, you'll end up buying it!

If you look closely you can tell that he has 450c wheels and the rest is just tire.

It looks great though, how long is that stem? 130?

They are almost big enough that you could double stack the logos

I so want to put a "G.I.V.E" decal at the bottom of each of those wheels.

They're special HED tires with a brake track. Good guess, stem is 120 though.

SOMEONE FIGURE OUT WHAT FONT HED USES.

Only 4-5 more days until bike arrives at my LBS. Compiling a list of "stuff" that I need so appreciate any reccs:

Pedals: ordered Shimano Ultegra
Helmet: went with Giro Savant
Shoes: went basic shimano
Gear: I picked up some basics but anyone have a good website for clothes? What I have so far is very monochromatic.
Cages: No idea what to get. I assume carbon.
Computer: Garmin or Cateye? Leaning toward small cateye just for cadence. Hard to get lost in NYC where I bike most.
Bike bag: People still use these?

Eventually looking to upgrade saddle and wheels but need to give credit card a rest and pay for kids' pre-school.

Thanks!

1. good pedals
2. nice helmet
3. shoes will work but you will upgrade
4. Voler.com, nashbar, ebay...so ,many choices
5. if you want carbon these are cheap, light, and work https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Carbon-F...80573607960%26
6. Cateye with speed and cadence will do fine, can be had cheap on ebay, but Garmin 200-500 can be had cheap with new releases out
7. personal choice on saddle bag, if you like then get a small one, if not lezyne caddy sack.

This is pretty close: https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/fontfon...ot-wide-black/

Thanks! Ordered the bottle cage. Good price. I just got the shoes from Zappos and they have a good return policy so do you have a recommended shoe?

I'm not saying the shoes won't work, which Shimano's do you have? I started with the R-087 shoe and it was fine, I only upgraded to the R-191 because I liked them better and found them real cheap on ebay.

I got the R-087s too. Got decent deal on them as they were on sale.

Oh, you will be fine then, when you said basic I thought you meant the lowest model, the 87 is not the high end shoe but they have a cheaper option with just the velcro straps. I still have my 87's and wear them more than the 191. The 191 has a stiffer sole but I never got hot spots with the 87, I got numbness at first but then figured out I was wearing them to tight and not leaving room for my feet to swell a bit.

+1 for the cateye.

I opted for the cateye because of cost and I ride where I grew up (not likely to get lost).
Works great and It's easy to see in direct sunlight, a big plus as I live in the sunshine state.

Cool, looks like cateye works good for speed + cadence and ebay has them cheap. Was also wondering if I need it at all since some iPhone apps have the ability to do most of this now too.

I'd go for a computer over any smartphone setup. Main reason is for rain as most of these devices are water resistant. And you'd have to buy the iphone mount, and probably a good case just in case it falls off. And there's always the battery. I bought a $20 Walmart one and after 4-5 months of almost daily riding, I never had to change the battery and it worked great. Only had to replace it because the bike was falling and out of instinct I grabbed the first thing I could, which was the computer's cable which then broke.

agreed, and for an option to the cateye I have heard good reviews on Sigma computers
