I really like how you chose the "noir" s80, which fits in so well, instead of the traditional one with sram livery in red. You must love how active and responsive the handling is now with an s80; especially coming from a boat anchor 'spoke.

Ha! Don't get too excited. It's my brother-in-laws.

Surprisingly, I like the way my bike feels with the Aerospoke a little better.

Darn...
We just need everyone on the forum to give 5 bucks and voila! http://www.amazon.com/Front-Clincher.../dp/B0025UOPGS it can stay there....one thing bout the leaders tho is i wish the did the hourglass headtube thing i think it would look better

Scrodzilla 06-07-11 03:17 PM

Drops set up as bum bars, right? :lol:

docboyd 06-07-11 03:18 PM

Duh why would I want anything else this is FGSS right?

Thanks for the input Scrod and TT!

Does the carbon fork for leader come with a hole to drill a brake?

Scrodzilla 06-08-11 02:22 PM

You mean a hole to install a brake? Yes.

I believe there's a new version coming which is undrilled though.

TejanoTrackie 06-08-11 02:25 PM

One warning, though, it requires a very long recessed nut. The stock nut on my Tektro front caliper was way too short.

Do you think the 2011 725 is worth the extra money? I'm thinking about getting that if I don't get the 721 or a Visp.

Definitely... that new Leader 735 looks amazing!

Leukybear 06-08-11 07:28 PM

I liked the previous generation better.... especially the track ends for it =/

This generation is more like the 1st generation.

i wanted to ask something, what is the different between a clincher and a tubular
and what does it affect when we're riding it? http://emibrown.tumblr.com/images/an..._avatar_24.gifAnonymous

Thank you so much! Tubular wheels are designed for Velodrome Riding and Clinchers are designed for road riding. Tubular tires are also a lot more dangerous to ride if not properly installed. Tubular uses clue for tube tire compo and clinchers use tubes that are separate from the tire. Tubular tires always uses a much higher psi.




Wow, this guy is an idiot.

longjohns 06-08-11 07:35 PM

that frame looks great but leader top tubes are so long!

Wow, this guy is an idiot.

BikeSnob skewered him for that recently. I read a couple of pages of his tumblr afterward and he really isn't a very bright guy.

Can someone explain the 735 to me? Is it just the exact same thing as the
725 with larger tubing? What's the point of making both?
