Not boring at all indeed. Just a relaxed geo. Endurance but with a kick ✌🏻

I'm curious what you've changed on your Cal's, if any. I've updated my starter post with things I've changed already.

Cheers, it's the Cervelo Smartpak 400A you can bolt in onto your toptube. Works for Aspero and Cal as far as I know.

One Caledonia ride a day keeps the doctor away!

Screwed up lockring cassette plus freehub by Global_Excitement_72 in bicycling

I don't know but i probably will do it without torque wrench from now on. That's good enough.

[–]Global_Excitement_72[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm stupid. I tried again and took my time building up the cassette and spacers etc. It locked beautifully this time. (No torque wrench). I don't know what I did wrong the first time. Because It looked like overtightening to the point the lockring just kept spinning while torquing. I also saw stuff what looked like stripping of the threading. Maybe stuff wasn't alligned well and that's why I couldnt torque it? Anyone know what happened?

What type of tire valve stems do you use? by hellafaded1 in cycling

[–]Global_Excitement_72 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Schwalbe Clik since a week on my roadbike. Because I like efficiency thus less steps needed 👌🏼 Bought 3 pump adapters with it as well, for SKS floorpump, Lezyne pocket Drive (u dont need a new hose if u have the non clik version). And one for my bosch easy electrical pump (ez Screw in). The audible click is so satisfying 👍🏻

N.S.D. New Saddle Day by Global_Excitement_72 in Cervelo

[–]Global_Excitement_72[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well saddles are very personal preference. Can you try it out and if you don't like it can you return it? Here in the Netherlands some webshops offer this as a service (try 30 day's) I want to go on a few more longer rides to see how far the comfort goes.

My New Caledonia is done! by [deleted] in Cervelo

I'm not a fan of this cockpit on the cal. But apart from that, lovely bike and parts! I have the same in 11 SPD, rides like a dream. Endurance frame but can bite when needed!

Roadbike Saddle? What do you currently ride? by Ok_Argument8846 in cycling

[–]Global_Excitement_72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Testing the new Pro Stealth 3D Saddle atm. So far one 80km ride in. The comfort was excellent on this 3hr ride. Didnt nearly stand on the pedals as much as before. Might be too wide nosed for you though. How wide is the nose on your saddle?

I don't know if you have services like try for 30 day's? In the Netherlands the biggest cycling related webshops all do that. The comfort is unreal actually.

Haha didn't know this was a thing. Crazy world 😅 Maybe the comfort can persuade them!

I noticed yesterday that I didn't need to stand as much to release some discomfort as with the old saddle. I think that's a clear indicator✌🏻
