Rule 56:
When wearing a cycling kit and enjoying a pre or post ride coffee, it is only appropriate to drink espresso or macchiato. If the word soy/skim latte is heard to be used by a member wearing cycling apparel, then that person must be ceremonially beaten with Co2 canisters or mini pumps by others within the community.6

Rule 48:
The seating area of a saddle is to be visually level, with the base measurement made using a spirit level. Based on subtleties of saddle design and requirements of comfort, the saddle may then be pitched slightly forward or backward to reach a position that offers stability, power, and comfort. If the tilt of the saddle exceeds two degrees, you need to go get one of those saddles with springs and a thick gel pad because you are obviously a big pussy.
All of you need to think about this.

Rule 58:
Never buy bikes, parts or accessories online. Going into your local shop, asking myriad inane questions, tying up the staff's time, then going online to buy is akin to sleeping with your best friend's wife, then having a beer with him after. You may as well go into your local shop and spit in the owner's face. Online is evil and will be the death of the bike shop. If you enter a shop with parts you have bought online and expect them to fit them, be prepared to be told to see your online seller for fitting and warranty help.
Boom.

If the tilt of the saddle exceeds two degrees, you need to go get one of those saddles with springs and a thick gel pad because you are obviously a big pussy. All of you need to think about this. Sheldon Brown: Angle The angle of the saddle should be pretty close to horizontal. Some men prefer the front to be slightly higher than the rear; some women prefer the front slightly lower than the rear, but extreme angles should be avoided. If the saddle is nosed up too far, it is likely to increase pressure on the soft tissues, and cause all sorts of problems. If the saddle is tilted down in front, the rider will tend to slide forward onto the narrower part of the saddle. Women who are riding on saddles that were designed for men frequently tilt their saddles down. This will relieve some of the discomfort from the saddle itself, but creates new problems: The downward slope of the saddle causes the rider to tend to slide forward, and this can only be counteracted by pressure on the hands. Thus, poorly-angled saddles often are the cause of wrist, shoulder and neck problems, due to carrying too much of the rider's weight on the hands. The angle and the front-back position are both adjusted by the clamp on the seatpost. |

Boom. i say yes to the whole badgering the bike shop about stuff and then going and just buying it online. but if a shop doesn't have what i want/need and tell me they can order it... sorry dude. i can order it. the whole reason you are not ordering it online in the first place is because you want/need it then and now. ordering online can cheaper and will be delivered to my door. i've ordered stuff from shop only for it to take weeks because the item was out of stock from the distributor(s). a well stocked bike shop will lose way less business to online retailers than a poorly-stocked one. |

there's a reason that frame is cheap. Same thought was floating in the back of my head... I'm not 100% settled on that Leader as of yet and as I stated before I'll look around for other options I think the reduced price of $185 on a Leader wouldn't be a bad buy. Looks cool and gets you closer to track geometry than a conversion with one stone. You know more than all of us about the bike biz; certainly they've been known to have ass quality control but seriously after all this time, are they still fucking up without warranties? Carbon fork, yo. Have you done it? |

that's not true at all.
even with a carbon fork, shitty aluminum is still shitty aluminum.
also, that $185 is for last year's model... the one with all the problems.
