Mine are 4.25" by 7.25" and go for medium (sometimes small) for leather work gloves, medium for rubber palm work gloves, large for dishwashing gloves.

Painfully average.

My hands are known to look like sausages. I guess I have mini sausage fingers then.
Real question: Cane Creek SCR-5 hoods are known to be a bit wide, they also make a compact version for (from the reviews) people with tiny hands. Should I go for the compact version then?

The compact levers just offer a shorter reach to the lever, the hoods are the same, I'm pretty sure.

NP. I run 105 Shimano short reach levers on my roadie. Well, I broke one so I'm doing the combo now. I like the short reach better than standard, much easier reach from the drops. I guess the only worry would be whether your sausage fingers would get claustrophobia under the levers because of tight clearance. You can click back and forth on Cane Creek's site and kinda visualize the difference.
Here are my 105s, standard in foreground:

I've ridden Duranos and Durnao Plus. Both are awesome and I've gotten no flats with either.

Yup - also commonly referred to as "ramps". Considering the "ramp" portion of most compact drops is parallel to the ground, I feel it makes more sense to call it an "elbow".

hey scrod,
im 6' with 33" inseam. I noticed you had the premium brew/maxway frame in a 58cm and that we had similar measurements . How did that fit for you?. I really wanna nab the maxway but the the 56cm is all thats left.
i have fairly short arms FYI.
any feedback will help (maybe)
Thanks a ton!

I'm 5'10" with a 33ish inseam and long arms. My Premium Brew was a 56 and fit nicely but the top tube was a wee bit short.

Would this front wheel build be sufficient for weekend and pleasure rides on the streets?
KinLin xr300
16h radial lace
CX-Rays

Currently on julians and thickslicks.... (boat anchors)

I wouldn't want it for myself and I currently weigh 195.
There's a lot of good wheels in between your proposed build and Julians. No need to go that far.

24h radial lasers to xr-270?

At 200+ I wouldn't go with anything under 32h if you're going to realistically ride in the street.. Why don't you try Velocity Fusions?
