Carbon Road shoes

[David Kirk]

I'm thinking of switching from leather soled shoes to carbon. What length stem will I need?

1.5" at the base, 1.125" at the top of the head tube.

Wow. It finally has happened. This thread makes total sense to me. The first one in the 5,281 that I have read. There is hope for me.

just try a couple of different colors until one feels right.

[davids]

Campy sew-ups.

[Bud_E]

Depends on the modulus.

Kool Stop recomends green pads for carbon shoes.

DK is building a bike for an early adopter of the brakeless single speed, fixed is too difficult for the hipsters.

Hate to confuse you, Dave, but steel is a much better material. Carbon fiber doesn't take well to brazing. There's some guy in Montana who made me a bike out of steel - I can put you in touch with him. :beer:

And we go to this guy for custom frame geometry?

Now I'm scared.

[Steve Hampsten]

He buys his geos from the same place the rest of us do. Not to worry...

[soulspinner]

If you cant fit it in the shoes its big enough. ;)

[Kirk007]

.83 times your shoe size (in American sizing); .8723 if metric sizing.

Well, leather comes from a carbon based life form so I would say you need a 27.2 seatpost.

Don't forget to subtract your carbon offsets.

[SoCalSteve]

220 - 221, whatever it takes.

Yes, I pick them up at the local "Jack in the Box" :bike: :cool:

That's not fair. You probably worked on Mr. Mom.

[FATBOY]

If I go back to wearing a leather helmet, do I have to return my carbon bike?

[SoCalSteve]

That's not fair. You probably worked on Mr. Mom.

Actually, I have worked on many movies in my almost 28 years in the "biz" but Mr Mom was not one of them.

I do love that line though, does that count?

[SWorks4me]

check to see if your UNIdisc is properly fastened to your rear wheel. Then buy the Duegis.

I love lamp.
