i think we already have that. not sure tho.

yokotas13 · 08-27-2010, 07:04 AM

normally most bars shoudl be parallel to the ground. so eye it or level it so its flat. from there, ride around and adjust until comfortable. that angle looks like it woudl be hell on wrists.

nathanong87 · 08-27-2010, 07:28 AM

i sold my FTP , womp womp. thinking about building a dura ace carbon framed bike... hrmmmm

yokotas13 · 08-27-2010, 07:37 AM

edit: girlfriend wanted to put a face

irax · 08-28-2010, 12:51 AM

has any one put 700c's on a bike that was built for 27's? how hard was it to get the brakes to line up?

!Zar! · 08-28-2010, 12:51 PM

You guys know that you can get longer life out of your tires when you skid by running a 17t cog.

I don't even seen a point in messing with anything else. Unless all you do is tricks or something.

i just put a set of 700c wheels on my old school ross that was meant for 27's

just move the brake pads up a little and they line up fine
