it's a 26.0 with a Nitto Shim - clamps perfectly with the shim, and it's practically invisible

Nice. Funnily enough, I have a red saddle on my GTB and it really does balance out the bike nicely. I should take a photo, I haven't updated my page in awhile

Hhaha a silver

Submitted by Yo on 07/28/2010.

Hhaha a silver seatpost/black saddle could be in order....

How do you like the Mavis? Do they hold up for brakeless street riding?

had a black perforated turbo

Submitted by johnnywas on 07/28/2010.

had a black perforated turbo / silver thomson on it before - didn't like it

as for the Mavics: so far so good! people encounter problems when treating them like cheap wheels. don't force / crank on the axle bolts, be sure to steady the axle with an allen key, and don't over-tighten the nuts. enough is enough.

also, use a thick cog with softer threading like EAI or Dura Ace and NEVER use anything but the Mavic lockring, as it is proprietary threaded. people will tell you that other lockrings work or suggest spacers and whatnot - this is really just cheap alternatives to doing the right thing. and using something like a Phil cog will chew the hub threads to shit since they're so hard.

aside from those few notes, let it be known that these wheels are incredible - bombproof at 20h and spin smoother and longer than anything else ive ever ridden

traded my former silver one

Submitted by johnnywas on 07/28/2010.

traded my former silver one for this black one already!

and that's the whole point of that saddle - the all-black needs to be offset by something exciting...

oh really? hah hmmm..well

Submitted by CREATUREfear on 08/02/2010.

oh really? hah hmmm..well just a suggestion.
i personally like to keep components (stem, seatpost, crankset) consistent cuz it makes it look cleaner...
but then again it is YOUR bike.
i know it still rides great as is (i had one too and loved it).
hows the ellipse wheelset riding?
