I do ride with the shifters a little higher than some, but it's comfy for me and feels better when I'm out of the saddle. _________________ RUEGAMER 5.21kg, 11.48lbs CRUMPTON 4.40kg, 9.70lbs

Just curious about your choice of the pair... _________________ Wilier Cento Uno, 13.25 lbs / 6.01 kilograms http://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=95887

Just curious about your choice of the pair... I thought about the Enve. I just ended up going with the standard 45s. It would probably make more sense to get that fatter wheel, but I don't Time trial and most of my rides are thru hilly areas where I'm not breaking 10mph, so I just wanted light. _________________ RUEGAMER 5.21kg, 11.48lbs CRUMPTON 4.40kg, 9.70lbs

Like everyone else I agree the veloflex tyres look ace and I prefer the shallow rimmed wheels. I really like sloping top tubes / compact geometries too, but I think they look way better with a short head tube. But you can't help being taller. Enjoy it, I bet it rides great!

Enve 24 With Extralite SX hubs and Sapim spokes - 933g Recon 11-23 cassette 88g Veloflex extremes 470g Do you mean Enve 25? There were Edge 24s for a while before Edge 25s replaced them. Perhaps 24 got imbedded into your brain. Or did you really score some Edge 24s? Also, are the valves on the Veloflex Extremes really as long as depicted, or are you using extensions or different valves? Is 36 mm the stock valve length? Edit: Or you have AX 24s on your mind.

The standard Veloflex ones were a little short and I didn't feel like fighting with the to get a pump on. I could go shorter, but these were free so I out them on. _________________ RUEGAMER 5.21kg, 11.48lbs CRUMPTON 4.40kg, 9.70lbs
