usually sweep is measured in degrees???
24 degrees seems ridiculous... and that is the LEAST amount of sweep you can get? for reference my easton ea50's have 5 degrees of sweep. i think i may like slightly more; like something in the 7-10 degree range. |
unfortunately, i'm going to have to retract my membership. after a few weeks of riding risers, i went back to bullhorns. now my wrists don't hurt anymore and i have 3-4 hand positions instead of 1.
|
Just put risers + a ***** stem on my Pogliaghi conversion. I like it alot. I will post pics.

still trying to figure out if i should get a new stem for it. . but for the it's function, it's extremely comfortable. |

I'm surprised dutret hasn't flamed you yet for that stem setup |

i've been back to b123's for a few weeks now and loving them. i like to ride in my keirin racing position and slice through the wind like a knife through hot butter.

heres the new nitto riser
chopped a few inches of the steer tube still fiddling with height probably will shorten to eliminate the remaining spacer http://a758.ac-images.myspacecdn.com...1c074658c5.jpg http://a918.ac-images.myspacecdn.com...c11bcc3b5d.jpg http://a242.ac-images.myspacecdn.com...dea78dc3e9.jpg |
