Thank you for the kind words Pascal!

The Garmin mount is one of the Barfly brand mounts. When the came out earlier this year they were selling for $39 US but appear to be going down to a more realistic price ~ $20 considering just hard plastic.

Good advise w/ using exclusive brake pads- the Mavics SLRs have the exilith coating over aluminum but still plan to use separate pads from those used with my Ksyrium SL wheels. Will likely just keep the Ksyriums on the bike thru the winter and save the Cosmic SLRs for the blue sky days to minimize the brake pad swapping Happy Holidays!

I had rotor cranks and q rings on mine,front shifting no different than the campag one.

Re: m4k1's bikes, it's nice to see a change from the usual white garage door backdrop

Lovely C50. But are you riding with the seat like that?

what do you mean?

By the angle of the pic, it appears your saddle nose is sloping strongly downward. i think it's mostly an illusion.

ah now i understand! no, it´s just an illusion, my seats are both horizontal!

thinking abou going 10s record on the c40. what do you think?

Almost in level. Almost....

those are old pictures anyway...changed seatposts and saddles around ever since

Try to test the new hoods from the 11 speed groups. I prefer them by a large margin. If cost is a problem: I put the Chorus 11 speed shifters on a 10 speed Chorus group with a Jtek, it works perfect (as to be expected from Jtek!).

If you do go the 10 speed route I would advise you to look into shiftmate Campa 10-Shimano 9 so the wheels don't have to be upgraded and can be exchanged between the bikes. Campa 11-Shimano 9 seems to be unavailable.

the groupset on the c40 is a dura ace 7800 anyway, so i wouldn´t have to change the wheels at all. a friend of mine rides 10 speed record with shimano cassettes and has no problems with them.
as for the shifters i would very much prefer to have a complete 10 speed look...i don´t really like the looks of the new ergopowers (says the one with DA7800 horns)
