Do they sound like this?


Bob

Yuuuuuuuuup!!!!!!!

LOL...to each his own, I guess. I think that would drive me crazy, but who knows.

Bob

it drove me crazy for a while but over a week of riding I grew a custom to it. Now I love it

truth. I freak out now when I don't notice it, makes me think something is wrong!

you're accustomed to the sound of the free hub? you're a coaster not a rider.

I knew it. page 30.






just sayin..............

When coming to a stop sign or intersection or just tired yeah I coast.

You sir, were right on the money!!

yeah, pros never coast!

i love sprinting towards my door then grabbing two monkeybutt handfuls of brakes.

pros coast and don't give a **** about how their free hub sounds

That's why I'm not a pro. Well, that and for many other reasons lol

What happen to your cobb saddle you rode a couple of years ago. I read a post you made in 2010 on another website about how you loved the cobb saddle. Now I see you got one of those weenie little saddles. What caused the switch?

he's all about aesthetics.

I used the saddle for about a month. Seemed to be great at first, but I just didn't care for it. He has a great return policy, so I took advantage in returning it for a full refund and getting something I liked. After the cobb saddle, I went to fizik arione, then arione tri2 and finally this specialized Romin Evo pro. Have had it now for 6 or 7 months now and absolutely love it. Finally am able to ride with minimal to no chafing and is comfy.


And, I found the cobb saddle to be hideous.

So, how are the wheels after a few days? Still just as awesome? I am waiting for my new wheels most excitedly ( for everyone else: I had Jude build me a23's laced to dt350's with the 36t upgrade (28/28 spoke count)) despite the fact that I am too sick to ride)

(sucks air through teeth)

Well, they're no smart system 6.7 that's for sure.

A23's have received some bad press around BF, but I've had good luck with them. I think they build into a very nice riding wheel. Hope you like yours as well.

Well, if I have problems with the wheels, I am fully confident that Jude will work with me to resolve them.

My enves are just as awesome. My times are better than ever. I just signed up for strava and excited to watch my results. I have a lunch ride route I go on with a couple friends which has a hill 1.2 miles long and a couple pretty good steep segments. As of yesterday I am ranked 204 of 904. Its no stage win but its a good start since I know I can cut a lot of time. I have never looked at my info off of my Garmin before until yesterday and it was an after thought so now that I want to see my rank get better I will be driven to kick it in gear! My goal is to break 150 ranking. I think I can do it within a couple weeks. Love love LOVE my wheels!!!!!

^^^ so...it's classic "buyer's remorse", then? I keed. I keed.

LOL, not regretting the decision to buy them, maybe a little buyers remorse with the cost. BUT totally worth it. I LOVE my bike as is right now and am constantly excited to ride. I hope that doesnt wear off for a while. The ride itself is still amazing and it has helped in multiple ways.

I hope you have a fire extinguisher with you when you do this, because that thing is red hot. I'm surprised the fence isn't smouldering from the hotness

First comes the looking, then comes the touching...

Thank you! I love hearing that to be honest. aside from the looks of the new wheels, they are fantastic just with ride quality and performance. The benefits I feel from it are well worth the cost. I know that I made the right decision about getting them because I still find myself going out in my garage just to look at my bike which leaves me smiling ear to ear.
