Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

The new unit has a full warranty, and the shop stands behind it(no hassle).

I get them Oakleys at deals you wouldn't believe, and they take care of me.

I currently have LizardSkins DSP 2.5 tape. I tried Fizik Microtex, but the lack of cushion was painful. My hands only hurt in the beef of my thumb, right where most gloves put gel, so I'm hoping not having gel there will make the pain stop.

Why did you use Wade long ti spindles instead of Speedplay? was it because Speedplay doesn't offer longer spindles that you wanted?

Yes, I too find that the Glove itself is what is causing the pain. I have lots of different gloves, so I usually try to remember which ones to avoid.

Check out the weight.

Speedplay only sells Stainless Steel spindles at longer and shorter lengths. I am not aware that the Speedplay Ti spindles are available as shorter or longer lengths. And, the Speedplay Ti pedals have a weight limit of 185 lbs and are 3 mm shorter than standard stainless steel / chromoly spindles.

These longer Wade Ti spindles are Ti, have a weight limit between 200-235 lbs, and are $60. As a disclaimer, these Wade Ti spindles are in no way connected, endorsed, or certified as compatible with Speedplay.

Mark, you have quite the collection of new bikes there. Do you have some pictures or did you post in the Hot or Not thread or What road bike do you have thread? I am sure you have posted that Parlee once or twice, but what about that helix?

Ok now I understand. I'm a bit surprised that Speedplay doesn't offer shorter and longer TI spindles since they make their pedals!

I couldn't find a listing for Speedplay compatible spindles on the Wade sight. Do you know if those spindles you have will work with the Speedplay Frog pedals? If so which spindles did you get from Wade so I can find it on their site?

FYI, it's WARD industries that make the spindles. Speedplay replacement products aren't advertised on their site, just inquire via email or their phone number.

Those Oakleys are more hideous than the ones posted with the camera. I LOVE Oakley's older designs but recent designs just look weird to me.
