I e-mailed Fizik and they confirmed this information.

I took the Bontrager Inform RL, Fizik Antares, and Selle Italia Thoork models for rides around the parking lot today. Actually all felt good enough to do long term tests. I rode the Inform saddle first at an LBS that I seldom go to because of their location. They were the closest LBS that...

This sounds like two separate issues. Issue #1 is that your coach is recommending gearing for your normal riding in your home environment. Since he is a CTS coach and you have been training with him for 18 months, there is no doubt that you should take his advice. Issue #2 is reconciling...

Your reasoning for the comparison is sound. Why wouldn't it be, it is just simple gear ratio analysis. However if he is a coach, there must be more to this story. How old are you? How much do you weigh? What is your fitness level? Do you ride hills and mountains now and are used to that? I...

Maybe create a Pro Racing or Pro Peloton forum and move those threads out of the road forum to the new forum. The Road forum is really not being used as a road forum currently.

Which model Aliante do you have?

Which Aliante model or models do you have? I have the Sport and probably have ridden it 8-9 thousand miles. I hope to test ride the braided carbon railed model this week. I have been assured that it will support my 200 lbs. That was the first thing I asked after reading numerous reviews of...

Thanks for that. What I need to verify is whether you have tried a Fizik Aliante and liked it also. If I can find other riders that have liked the Fizik Aliante and also have found a Selle Italia model they like I will know which model is a likely candidate for me. At least I hope this logic...

I have ridden my Fizik Aliante thousands of miles with great comfort. However I would like to have a saddle that I can move around on more. Has anyone or a buddy had good luck with a Fizik Aliante and also been able to ride a Selle Italia model that they could recommend for me to try? I have...

The new thread and reply functions do not give me the option to post a picture as stated in the forum help or I would post a picture of my bike.:confused:

I don't recall where, but I have seen a recommendation for the Cervo 2.4 as a wireless computer only as opposed to other brands without consideration of ever purchasing a Powertap hub. Any opinions regarding whether to purchase this for the sole purchase of using it as a wireless computer? My...

While riding Hammer Nutrition Gel, Perpeteum, and Endurolytes have served me well. I also use Camelbak's electrolyte in my Camelbak and water bottles. These products give me energy on the bike and keep me from feeling so wiped out afterward. For recovery I have been drinking chocolate milk...

Have you ridden these wheels?

New Leather Tape Brand http://handlebra.com/index.htm Here is some new leather tape that will set the standard in quality for leather tape. He is a few weeks away from having the web commerce enabled for purchasing. Everyone that has tried has been blown away by the product. I saw the...

I just recently got a new pair of Shimano 7850SL's and paired them with Hutchinson Fusion 2 Road Tubeless. I am mystified why this technology has not been more widely accepted. No more pinch flats, great ride and handling, and Dura-Ace quality. I put sealant in mine hoping to minimize flats...
