What bars are those deep ergo drops on one picture? Maybe it's the photo angle, but they look really deep.

Hot bike! You change handlebars as often as I do, yet to find one I can keep on forever. That and I just like to mix it up.

may I ask you if your cages touch your front wheel while turning?

Posted over 11 years ago

richardg

richardg says:

Uhh, I mean when you're going super slow. But toe-overlap is toe-overlap, you get used to it and don't even notice it. Especially when going at a faster speed. Only noticeable when you're going super slow.

clean build! how do you like the saddle? been wanting to get a flite for a long time!

Posted almost 12 years ago

richardg

richardg says:

Well the saddle came along with a complete bike that I bought for the parts on it, so it's used and starting to get a bit hard and not so comfy, but despite the amount of usage its seen, it's still alright. Better than those horrible Turbo saddles lol. I would assume that brand new that this saddle would be much better.

Is it easy to skid with Gatorskins?

Posted almost 12 years ago

richardg

richardg says:

Well for me I have no problem. It differs for everyone though since everyone is at a different level with their skidding and has different preferences.

Although my friend did say that he was able to skid easier with them then Randos.

what's ur opinion about gatorskin 28C? cause I want one of those

Posted about 12 years ago

richardg

richardg says:

I love them! Gatorskins last me forever and I skid a lot for no reason just to make sure I don't get rusty lol. My last one lasted me about 5-6 months or so? Until I started seeing the thread. Had the same 48x17 gear ratio and I can ambidextrously skid. If you have extra cash, I'd say get a gatorskin rather than a rando. I even got my friend to start getting them instead haha

reyhanmahardika

reyhanmahardika says:

LOL. gatorskin with ambidextrously skid until 5-6 months wearing THEN you just started saw the thread? it's a long time ya kno. gatorskins is very long-lasting eh? yes I would buy some gatorskins but they're very expensive in my country, rando is more cheaper than gatorskin. and why don't you choose the 23C?

Posted about 12 years ago

richardg

richardg says:

Yeah, it lasted me a really long time haha. And I go with 28c just cause there's more tire to skid, so it lasts longer.

Posted about 12 years ago

reyhanmahardika

reyhanmahardika says:

ah man really-really wanted gatorskins!! okay man it is more tire on 28C. thanks for your opinion! :)
