  1. God knows how he fit the k-edge mount on the bar. I have that bar and I can't get one on without having the bar slightly off Centre

  2. Sorry but in every of these bikecheck I hear the same thing about the handlebars (narrow for sprinters only), but it's also about bikefit! Narrow shoulders=Narrow handlebars that simple so ok some sprinters use it for aero but sometimes it's all about bike fit (I need 38cm on my next bike)!

  3. I take it that you don''t have a camera lens that can focus on the heat shrink work? Next time, bring a camera for close-ups, please!

  4. It's a Specialized Power saddle…he couldn't bother to even look at the damn saddle??? It says it right on top, I know because I have 3 of them on 3 of my bikes….

  5. I'm always concerned when I spin the wheel fast and it wobbles. I wouldn't expect an unbalanced wheel on a pro bike! :/

  6. that's exactly build for my bodyindex – let me know if I should send you my postage address 😉

  7. 55-42 chainrings up front?! that's some bumper ammo create some serious wattage bazooka…

  8. Very nice . For all it's trick parts, it's not up to showing Gavaria the rear view of it's 11-28 cassette yet.

  9. The Power saddles really aren't for time trialling. They REALLY help with Prostate related pressures… I picked up regular testicular issues, kidney infections, all kinds of urination and ejaculation (sorry, but it's utter truth) pains from proper long weeks in the saddle. It all stopped instantly when I shifted over to the power range. This saddle, changed my entire life and I highly recommend it 🙂 I do think it depends on your build of course… I have wider sitting bones than normal men do, so a "close to ladies" saddle helps me.
