I have had 2 Cannondale bikes (SR12000, R1000). Both equipped with Shimano Ultegra and a few DuraAce components. i have over 50,000 miles on them combined. No regrets. Excellent bikes. Sure I wore stuff out, but never was surprised by any poor quality or handling. Get a bike that FITS you is the key, and FEELS right to you, but I can give Cannondale HIGH MARKS from my experience.
wish you luck on your ride I ride almost all wintersimonspecial said:I'm Dan, I'm from Blacksburg, Virginia, but currently in McLean. I just bought a 2005 Specialized Sequoia and I'm going to get my fat ass in shape.
I'm picking it up tomorrow at noon and I'll get my first miles on it. Lets see what I can do
I've definitely learned an amazing amount in the past two weeks that I've been researching this, especially while lurking in this forum, so thanks to all.
If anyone is in Mclean, Tysons, Vienna, area and you want to go for a probably slowish ride, let me know.
Hi:Bink's Gym said:I am new to the forum and am a sport and fitness trainer in Central Ohio. My clients include cyclists and I am very interested in helping them select the best equipment to match their skills and weaknesses. We address hip and knee strength and conditioning in the workouts (among other things!), but for some older cyclists the implications for the knee of clips/clipless pedals are critical. My experience is all with clips, so I am looking forward to learning from the equipment forum.

I have had meniscus surgery on both knees and I do much better with the unlimited float offered by Speedplay. I have several sets of 'Frogs' and 'X series' Speedplays and at 56 I am still able to ride with much younger people. For knee problems I'm obviously big on Speedplay --Rob--

I used to have specail tires for racing bikesdansotelo said:My name is Dan Sotelo & live in Seattle WA,/ former founder of onZa. Regarding love tire tubeless, I'm the original designer of this unique tire. The concept was born back in 1989 as I began to experiment & make prototype onZa tubeless tires (secretly) for the racers that I used to sponsor, like like Greg Herbald & Julia Furtado.
Back then the idea to go with a Semi tubeless design was a no brainier because going with what is now known as UST would have been a failure cause no one would buy the whole rim & tire system. The Semi tubeless allows the use of any standard rim, the upper half of the tire is a standard tire & tube, while the lower tread area is tubeless. Unfortunately just as Panaracer & I (onZa), began to work out how to produce semi tubeless tire we caught rumor of UST and decided to stop.
6 years after onZa came to an end, I was approached by the board members of INNOVA (3rd largest tire maker in Asia), & was asked if I wanted to make the Semi tubeless? I was stunned because it was semi tubeless was a very guarded secret.
It took 2 years to figure out the technicalities of how to mass produce the tire, only to run into a brick wall trying to figure out a way to fix a flat since you can not get inside the tire to do the repair.
One day by shear accident, I discovered Slime not only made bicycle sealant (which is useless for tubeless applications), but they made a automotive tubeless sealant which worked great on Semi-tubeless.
We worked closely with slime to develop a super Lt/Wt formula for Love semi-tubeless, while at the same time Innova's Ben Hur (innova's tire wizard), & I worked on making the love tire lighter & lighter, with some reasonable results.
Problems started when the anxious Innova board members insisted that we show the yet not ready & very heavy prototype love tires at the 2001 Vegas bike show. I warned them to wait until we could produce the new v1/2 lighter version. But against my warnings they went ahead with Vegas, only to stereotype the Semitubeless Love tire technology as very heavy, despite the fact that 6 months later we introduced 1/2 lighter Wt tire.
Getting late, if you have more questions just drop me a line
