Looking for a wider saddle. Im a little on the chubby side and the one I have now is 128mm wide. Will going up to a 134mm saddle make any difference. My Fizik isn't unbearable to ride, just wanting to see if I could get a little more comfort. I was looking at trying the Selle San Marco Rolls on my Vigorelli. I know theres no way to know until I try it, just curious if anyone has had the same issue.

Depends on how wide your sit bones are. For a while I thought mine were pretty wide, but had mine measured this weekend and I was at 125. The guy said he has yet to measure a male who was wider than 130.

I've tried to get in touch with Chrome (via e-mail) but no answer after three days. Anyone talked to 'em before? Should I just sit tight?

Yeah, quoting myself on this one.

So I still haven't heard anything from Chrome, three weeks later. Shot them a question on Facebook as well, no answer. What's up?

Have you tried calling them? They're not really a small company anymore, so email inquiries and such might be going into a big pile.

My English isn't that bad, but living in Sweden and out of convenience I'd rather get a hold of them via email.

No matter what size the company, it should never take this long to respond. This is very poor customer service. No excuse for that sort of delay in responding.

Seems like a Dutch phone number. Thanks though.

If you want answers, you will call. If you want to wait, you will continue to wait.

What e-mail address did you use?

First through their website, some contact form. Later found some dude asking hem a question on Facebook, where they asked him to send one to matt@chrome..

Well, I did that as well. Don't know if that was rude or anything, but haven't heard from him either. You know someone I can contact, Scrod?

Scrodzilla 02-16-15 11:22 AM

Try greg@chromeindustries.com

Do you guys think a GT Gutterball frameset is actually worth paying $200 for? How many of you would pay that for the frame?

dear internet,

aside from fit calculators and professional fitting sessions, when im shopping for a MTB, should i still match the effective top tube length to the one im used to on a road bike?

im not getting a downhill or full squish deathmachine, itl be full rigid and im going to be using it for long distance offroad and touring, plus commuting (Surly ECR).

sincerely,

guy shopping for new biek. <3

If I rode a 57 pake then a kilo/flite in 57 is what I want right? Has 575 tt and the pake just under 57 and felt like it could have been a tiny bit longer
