Which headset was better for you: Can Creek or Chris King? I though about getting King, but then there's some big discussion about the Cane Creek 110.

You can never go wrong with a chirs king. I have never ridden with the cane creek 110, but I have heard good things about it :)

Posted about 11 years ago

Wow IRO are rare, ive never seen anyone ride one here, in norcal.
Posted over 11 years ago
Yea, I guess they are rare. I mean, it's no Cervelo, but I love this bike. Thanks for the compliments. :)

so you run 51:14 for a daliy ride? i guess no skidding, 95 gear inches must hurt the knees...haha
Posted over 11 years ago
It's actually 98 gear inches. And I don't have a problem skidding. Not to be cocky or anything. I have to agree that, it's a dumb ratio, but it makes flat rides/ downhill rides really enjoyable.
Posted over 11 years ago
yeah its an odd ratio, to be riding... like on my schwinn i ride 48:17 which makes a good acceleration and for skid stops. i think if you put a 17t on the rear it be more reasonable...

Looking good. I think this might be a 59 tho not a 56. I had one and your ht looks longer.

and i know this because it does't fit me properly. all my other bikes are 58's and this is for sure smaller!

I didn't know Jon's IRO was for sale.
Posted over 11 years ago
Most likely to keep. He has his KHS. I will have to give it back when he gets his bike painted by Mike's Bikes. But other than that, its mine to keep.

I actually just rode it, it feels good. Made some adjustments to the saddle high. Its not as bad as I thought it was going to be.
