Rear Mavic Ellipse / Vittoria ZAFFIRO PRO 700 x 23c / 17T ALL CITY COG (Stainless)

Accessories:

More Info:
This is fast and responsive. It has short wheelbase. Prologo saddle or Fizik Saddle are recommended for you seat really comfortable. Due to ratio gear "48 x 17" is really good choice for flat. uphills, downhills , velodrome and street race. It's damn fast and easy to skid that you wont knock down behind the back of the big vehicles. But Trust me if you take Prologo Scratch Pro Saddle, It's giving you a long and comfortable ride because less dense and less foam and more padding it has, no matter you sliding any sit position while riding. Not only factor system but the shape got wrong for another saddle and got bruise in the end. Prologo Saddle is the italian Company. And yes, Mavic Ellipse are makes good training on the velodrome or pacing somewhere.

Hi, lovely bike: congratulations!

I'm building a Lo Pro myself and was wondering what headset bearing size (upper and lower) one should order.

Thanks for your advise :-)

can you give me some advice for handling with toe overlap in the city. I'm going to buy a track frame (52) soon and use 165mm cranks with clipless pedals and a front brake.
but I'm still a lil bit afraid of toe overlap

How do you like those sram s300 gxp crankset I'm thinking of getting them

Posted about 12 years ago

RizPista says:

The Sram S300 Courier Crankset is either good for city riding or racing somehow so far. It's good to bang for my budget. Just two thousand bucks plus and it came with GXP bottom bracket. I like it very much. Other good and mighty sram crankset like Sram Ominum is good and abit more hundred buck to add in. Both came with 48T chainring also.

What is your honest opinion on mavic elipse wheels? How heavy and strong are they?
Cheers.

RizPista says:

They are solid, strong, fairly light, reslient bearing, sharp blade spoke and its also french thread come from italy, it made in romania. Many owners may say that the chainline may have problem, im not sure because Mine doesnt have problem. Maybe its frame chainstay I think. It may be noy easy to work on but tale care of it much I could.I bought them and I feel happy to ride. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply! Was this wheel set expensive? You have some nice bikes! IMO, it would really feel better with persuit handlebar but that's just me(:!

RizPista says:

Not so expensive. It really good value. Its only 600 buck plus for my country currency . For pursuit handlebar can be patient just a while.

why not change to pursuit stems and bullhorns? it will look nicer. nice bike though!

Posted about 12 years ago

RizPista

RizPista says:

Yup I know, Just like Garrett Chow's Ciocc Enemy pursuit campy record. But no choice, I bought headset at first, Should have bought two lugged fork if one for pursuit stem and another for normal stem, so yeah . I'm in dilemma, don't know what to do but I ride like very comfortable and pedal easy fast. lol. For bullhorn will be next time if use short stem for it. that's it. Your bikes is nice too. ride safety too.

I think the headset and fork are 1 inch, you could get it threaded at a bike shop and then get a threaded headset and quill stem, that would be awesome! nice build too!

Posted about 12 years ago

RizPista

RizPista says:

Yes, it's 1" inch , For Quill stem and Threaded headset, should have bought early or two forks for threaded and threadless. Too, I bought headset and thomson stem at first. I don't want to waste money ("Dilemma") and save for delicious foods to fill my stomach. However, it does ride very Supeb comfortable and fast in reality I swear. Your bikes is nice too. Pedal hard safety too. Thanks

Posted about 12 years ago

RizPista says:

Yup, But I guess you sold Lo Pro already and haven't dig the road dropbar, nevermind. You just enjoy your ride on your new geometry. I ride with dropbar was feeling freely and fast in every good routes. Thanks

Yup, It was the first Ellipse wheelset I bought the real brand really. Make it simple and quick ride. Your bike also look good with spinergy rex x in front. peace.

justskidding says:

Bullhorns would LOOK better. but if those bars are what you find comfortable then there is no reason to get bullhorns. On a side note, I really want that wheelset. Would you happen to be selling it by any chance?

Posted about 12 years ago

RizPista

RizPista says:

Yup, I really knew that. But I still feel very comfortable to ride with dropbar and long stem because it's short wheelbase really but if I want to upgrade bullhorn then it had to install short stem like Thomson Elite X2. I want some bullhorn which is unique something like Deda Dabar bullhorn if you know that. But anytime will update anyway. For those wheelsets I can't sell because I just bought last month and I'm lovin it. It's smooth madness. Make simple and quick ride on. Why not you buy some new wheelset? Just relax and slowly to buy part things. As for me, I earn for one years to buy all things to build up complete. I'm sacificed on it.

I dont like the bar setup. Needs bullhorns, pursuit or risers. On a less negative note everything else looks really good, quality wise as well. Well done!

Posted about 12 years ago

RizPista

RizPista says:

Yup, but I'm fine with it . But will update anytime if I buy some bullhorn. People do say just like Garrett Chow from Mash Sf say "wear bullhorn to ride upright and no more Aerospoke please" that why he say. But riding on this is fun and free. Wear helmet safety. Peace.
