Look guys there are a few things that just say amateur/girl to me and they are as follows ranked in importance:-

 

1) Compact or triple chainring on a roadbike (unless you're riding the Etape ....)

2) Camelback on a roadbike or on an MTB for a 2 hour or less ride ......

3) MTB shoes on a roadbike (where you gonna get off and walk huh?)

4) Bar ends on a riser bar (sorry HR but it just looks dumb!)

 

And no I am not reading any technical discussions of why any of these are 'ok' ........ Wink

 

 

Phew at least I know where I stand now.....

 

1) I ride FSA compacts.....not by choice it just so happened. Do I feel a difference? Um.....next question.....

2) That's just wrong as the dude in the open cat at Zoo Lake very well proved

3) I did that for a while before I got my bling blings. No buxx and donated spds were the reason not that I was planning on walking

4) Yes I agree.....a good thing I CAN'T use raiser bars cos I love my bar ends.

 

And to make it even more sad these only seem to come in raiser....

I'm speaking under correction, but think this new Zipp crank supports both compact and standard.
