Wow, I'm there all the time and never seen it that low. GP5000TL's are a fucking BITCH to mount on my rims so I kind of wanted to try something new anyway. I'm going to try a Rubino Pro G2.0. If that's too slow I'll try the Corsa next time.

Final time up Vail pass this morning. Went up it twice, once from vail and again from copper. Absolutely gorgeous (other than the construction bit).

This doesn't look right, does it? I went to clean/grease the headset bearings and there is a big gap between the bearing and the fork. It's my understanding these have an integrated crown race but it still doesn't look right with the gap. There is no gap between the fork and the head tube when it is all assembled and there is no knocking when I grab the front brake and rock the bike back and forth. I just rode it and it feels fine but this gap is still making me uneasy.
speaking of which.....
everytime i turn on the tour I see this Lexus commercial where this chick rolls up on her cyclist hubby/boyfriendunit and is all "DO. YOU. WANT. SOME. MOOOOOOORE??!??!?!"
am i missing some reference or is the commercial just dumb?
found it

New bike. Great so far, though the seat post situation is a little weird for me . They only have zero and 25mm setback posts, so my saddle will either be almost fully forward or back.

Looks weird, every other headset I've seen rests flush with the forkFurther forward is better as you break less saddles that way
I’ve worked on a ton of those bikes
@Alias that is normal
You've been killing it with answers for me lately so I have one more for you
I recently got Lake MX238's in wide because my Sidi Dominator Mega's felt too narrow. Problem solved, foot pain gone 
however, I'm getting some lateral knee pain on one knee. I also felt some posterior knee pain so I dropped the saddle a few mm (assuming new shoes are thinner overall stack), but I'm still getting the lateral pain. I have my cleats set up the same way (just BARELY toed in as I'm just barely duck-footed). The last fitter I worked with said I "need varus support" but I've never used it nor needed it. I know this lateral pain can be from cleat angle, too narrow of a Q-factor, lack of varus support, or seat too high. Since I already lowered the seat, what would you do next?

I moved the cleat towards the inside of the shoe to move it away from the bike a little. That ankle hits the crank arm some of the time. If I can't fix it I'll try calling around.

Bad ass
I got Retul insoles @ $150 and that was well worth it. My fit is DIALED right now except some lateral knee pain that showed up on one side when I got new shoes. The new shoes fixed foot pain but gave me knee pain
Hoping I can figure that out soon.

I almost did the custom insoles. Turns out I have super high arches - I thought I had flat feet and needed extra-wide shoes. The Specialized Green insoles are working pretty well.Bad ass

Such a great experience to have someone just tell you what you need instead of endless googling and reading forum threads and trying stuff. I did that for years until finally just sprung for the full service fit.

BASE salts are the win..

I won't even check the mail if it's 100+ idk how ya'll are riding in it
straight up misery.Hard ceiling at 75 (mtb) or 80 (road) for me. And I've lived where it gets to 100 +/- 5-10 degrees every day for 3 months straight for over a decade.
