3D-Printed Saddles: Fizik Antares Versus Evo vs Fizik Vento Argo Adaptive vs S-Works Romin Mirror vs S-Works Power Mirror

Image
  Road bike saddles are subjective.  Tons of factors impact  comfort -- w eight, height, body proportions, tailbone structure, fitness level, style of riding, bike frame, fit, geometry, wheels, tire size / pressure, etc.   Even small changes in a saddle angle, position, and seatpost height can turn the best riding saddle into the worst and visa versa.    To provide an objective comparison, I tested three 3D-printed saddles on the same bike with the same wheels, tires, and fit.  Here are the parameters: Rider weight: 230 lbs (approx.104 kg) Rider flexibility: average Miles per year: 5,000 Climbing per year: 300,000 ft Bike: Pinarello Dogma F12 Disc Wheels: Zipp 404 Firecrest  Tires: Schwalbe Pro One Evo 28mm tubeless - 65-70 psi Test terrain: Mixed - from very smooth to decent asphalt to severely broken asphalt to gravel to offroad / double track MTB road  All four saddles took a good amount of road vibrations out and made the road sm...

Pinarello Gan K Review - First Impressions

Image
If Pinarello Gan K Disc could be described in just one phrase, I would say, " It puts a smile on your face ". A big smile.  First when you look at it.  And the smile gets bigger when you ride it.  And even bigger as you ride longer. Pinarello Gan K gets going fast.  There is no hesitation. It doesn't fight you.  It doesn't make you put tons of effort in order to reward you with speed. It feels like it shrinks the distance.  I have a regular hilly ride that I have done at least 100 times on 11 different bikes -- from Specialized Roubaix to Trek Domane to Colnago CLX 2.0 to Bianchi Infinito CV.  This bike is different.  It glides.  It slices through the air.  It helps you go fast. Pinarello Gan K Disc is extremely dialed in.  It has has a nearly perfect combination of acceleration, handling, and ride quality. Scorecard (based on 3 rides): Acceleration: 9 out of 10.  It accelerates very fast, like ther...

Campagnolo Zonda C17 vs Roval SLX 24 -- Rim Brake Wheelset Showdown

Image
230 lbs puts a lot of stress on the bike and all of its parts, especially wheelsets.  Riding experience of a lighter cyclist, say 150 lbs, is going to be very different from a heavier one, so I always take reviews with a grain of salt. Here is my review on two wheelsets -- 2019 Campagnolo Zonda C17 and 2019 Roval SLX24 with DT Swiss 350 hubs.  There is also a mention of Fulcrum Carbon Zero wheelset which my bike was originally equipped with. Test Equipment: Bike:               2015/16 Pinarello Dogma K8s Group:            Shimano Ultegra 6800 11-speed Saddle:            Specialized Romin Evo Pro 168mm Handlebar:    Pinarello MOST Aluminum Tire Set 1:      Continental 4 Seasons Grand Prix 28mm Tire Set 2 :     Vittoria Corsa Control G+ 28mm Miles logged: Fulcum Carbon Zero - 200 miles 2019 Campagnolo Zonda C17 - 1,100 m...
