If it fits.

Should I sell the fuji track pro to finish the build of the guru below?


That is also my eighthinch which i would still have. So should I sell the fuji to build this (going to get rival group)?

sell the FTP, unless you race track.

derp

Leader 722ts in silver, or grey Pake rum runner. THE DECISIONS

Which is cheapest?

If leader, then leader. However, if the pake is only like $20-30 more expensive, get the leader (assuming the pake doesn't come with a fork - if it does, pake).

Those frames have a pretty considerable difference in geo though too.

Is geometry something you can figure out how the bike is going to ride just from looking at the charts, or is it just a trial and error type of deal?

Edit: Nvm, Google is cool, but I still dont get it

Should I go the route of shorts or bibs? I don't really get whats so different between the two, and I was going to buy a pair this summer. Any input?

bib. always. every time. forever.

I have never rode with bibs, but I have had absolutely no problems with the Performance Century shorts I got. They have nice padding, little grip things on the inside of the waist and the legs, so the shorts stay put pretty well. I hate having extra layers on, and I don't think I'd appreciate all the extra fabric that bibs provide up top, along with a shirt over it. I'd like to try them some day, but they always seem to cost twice was shorts cost, and that's a lot of bank on if I'm not sure I'll like em.

Bibs are more comfortable, there is no waistband to pinch when you are leaned over. But they are significantly more inconvient.

Noticeable difference between shorts and bibs at all?

Edit: Kayce answered that one for me. Damnit, now I have to go to my lbs and give them some more money.

bibs stay in place. and when the back of your jersey rides up a little when your pockets are empty, your back doesn't get exposed like with shorts. so no cold spots, and no weird sunburn.

Also, a side note. The fabric that the suspenders are made out of, is not the same as the rest of the bib. It isn't constricting at all. Its a really light weight mesh usually.

That helps a ton. Thanks guys

i bought my bibs as love2pedal.com with a 5% discount, and theyre great

Should I sell my Leader 722TS to fund a Dolan Seta long distance riding build?

I kind of feel like the 722 would be more comfortable for long distance riding.

That being said, I love riding distance on my Kagero and will soon be building up a 722 for short/easy/errand rides.

thing is about a bib, if you buy a cheap one, instead of being more comfortable, you've just given it a lot of extra places to rub you. if you get a bib, get a a decent one at worse.

I love my bibs when I actually feel like dealing with them

id probably choose the leader, but I would selfishly like to see more pake builds

Lol I got a green 722

Bibs > shorts x283049234

So now that the decision is made in favor of bibs, I just need to find a good starting point. Anyone know any decent pair that won't break the bank? I'm not making as much money as I was last summer, and I have bills to pay in the fall. And I know for sure that I don't want to get gel, because I read a few things about gel pads crumbling and shifting after not too much use.

I like my LG, hated Castelli. Capo riserva are pretty cheap right now too

they're ugly, but I heard Hammer Nutrition bibs are pretty good. https://www.hammernutrition.com/produ...navcat=cycling
