This. Always this, given the choice.

Should I: 17 degree stem and slammed (will not be able to use my Suzue bell) or 6 degree stem and taller steer tube (~30mm spacers, can use bell)?

seau grateau 04-09-13 02:01 PM
Just put the bell on your gigantic handlebars and use whatever stem you want.

Calv - why are you trying to make your Kagero look like a mountain bike?

Should I swap from cages/straps over to SPD's for my bikes?

Looking at some of the DZR's casual-esque SPD shoes and they don't look too awful, just wondering if they are going to be flimsy or a waste of money?

For reference

calv 04-09-13 07:21 PM
I think it's worth it. The Chrome shoes I use don't really go clickity-clack or anything when walking, and I like how SPD's feel better than clips and straps.

Do they flex a lot when lifting up or when you skid?

Jaytron 04-09-13 10:24 PM
Still better than clips/straps.

I used DZR's in the past... Pretty stiff for what they are. Cant' compete with a full blown road shoe though.

EDIT: Damn, I missed the shaved leg convo.

46/16 Gearing, 27" wheels
What length are you cranks currently?

UCF Eric 04-10-13 08:41 PM
So my father wants my Pacer frame and I'm going to give it to him. Which means I need a new road frame. Should I:

I haven't happened upon anything else. Local CL is dead.

Nashbar only has three sizes, which might influence your decision if you want anything but a 50, 58 or 60.

Nashbar has weird sizing and the 50 would actually fit with a 110 stem or so.

There's a Langster in my local classifieds for $250. Should I get it and flip it?

GENESTARWIND 04-14-13 05:51 AM
which langster? the original lanster or the rear sloaping top tube langser "yuck" or the newer track langster.

Training.Wheels 04-14-13 05:55 AM
If it's that city theme frameset, nah. I've seen barely ridden completes in my area (Cali) for like $300.

That exact one? Cause it's huge, you'll never resell it.

Point4ska 04-14-13 03:10 PM
Should I pick this up? http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/tor/bik/3742928907.html

If one of the dents he states is on the downtube, it looks pretty bad. If the dents are truly nothing, try to go $150.

Sweet baby jeebus, that saddle/backwards seatpost.

Hahaha, yeah...there are going to be some changes when/if I get that.

seau grateau 04-14-13 05:41 PM
That bike must report to the J/A thread immediately.

You`re right. It`s listed as a 58cm, but when you look at the geo charts, the 58 is the largest frame size they made.
