I'd get a Velo Orange Grand Cru for that Brooks.

I'd get a Fizik Arione for that Thomson.

+1 to the fizik. I dislike brooks

+1 on the Grand Cru... Brooks looks great with the 722, and a Grand Cru would complete the look.

Not everyone likes the Arione. I happen to think it's an ass hatchet.

I'm getting really annoyed at the comments and pictures being posted up on Leaders FB wall. Almost to the point where I want to block them from my feed.

Ass builds and people love it, quality builds and people say: "n33dz t4rck dropz."

WTF is wrong with people?

I have an Arione on my Mash. Im going Brooks on the 722. I may replace the seat post if the Thomson feels funky. Serious question: if you don't need the setback, why wouldn't a straight seat post be okay with a Brooks? Seems like you have to own a grand cru if you own a brooks

This is why I don't have Leader added.

Scrodzilla

You'll see. Getting the angle and fore/aft is crucial with a Brooks and a zero setback seatpost will put it in the wrong place beneath your sit bones and will be in a weird position in relation to your cranks. You don't necessarily need a Grand Cru, but straight posts don't cut it for most people when using a Brooks.

Damn. I was afraid of that from previously having issues with my Brooks/Thomson combo on the leader, was hoping that was from the reach and drop. At least Grand Cru posts are pretty cheap. Thomson y u so sexy

I like the one foot strap the best.

homebrewk

I like the crow's feet lacing the best.

Scrodzilla

Twisted spokes is not crow's foot.

homebrewk

Oh.

I have a friend who used to do this until I made fun of him for like 15 rides in a row

Scrodzilla

I've actually heard people say they only use one strap because the only skid on one side.

Fools.
