I was just exaggerating haha. But indeed I agree, I often do it but I’m not experienced enough to stay in that position for say, 20 minutes straight, muscle fatigue seems to get the best of me before...

If I was able not to put ANY weight on the saddle, I’d remove it and the seatpost completely.

I don’t compete by I can tell you my LBS guy won a triathlon using an old steel bike, same range as the 80’s Miyata models we’re talking about. As previous posters mentioned, if you can slam the stem...

I would probably feel the same if that was my case, in all honesty. I’m probably too scared to even attempt riding like that (and I don’t race so I guess it works out for me!)

Thanks a lot for your feedback, I’ll definitely give em a try next time. That’s sounds pretty good for a fast tyre.

Newbie question: what’s the approximate max mileage of a Conti GP5000?

The subject line says it all, I’m considering switching but I’d like to have an idea how the mileage you guys have been able to put on your GP5000 tyres.

Thanks!

I see what you mean, so the puncture risk is more of a factor in this case.

Which maybe means I’ve just been lucky for the past 1700km, I mean I use it in the city, some gravel roads, some smooth...

I’m very surprised too, believe me. I’m at about 1700km on it (which is not that much, I do mostly speed training at the park). The most surprising factor is having a cut in the sidewall for so long...

Yeah that’s why I got the Pzero TT, it’s actually 0.3 watts slower, not 2.5, which in my opinion is extremely minimal. The small advantage of the TT version is the weight saving though: 163g for the...

No one?? How about the regular Pirelli PZERO Velo?

I thought more people would have tried it, it’s said to be one of the fastest and durable road/tt/tri tyres ever made.

Anyone tried the Pirelli PZERO TT tyre?

Hey all,

Just to clarify, they are NOT the PZERO Velo, they are the PZERO Velo...

STI brake/shifters for BULLHORN?

Hi everyone!

I’m looking to see if STI brake/shifters exist for bullhorn basebars? Because they only seem

I know there is the Shimano DI2 electric drivetrain shifters...
