Mavic Ksyrium Equipe
|
| |
I have these on my Scott Plasma Team. They are OK, but more of a training wheel. I don't have the $ to replace, can the components be upgraded ? I see the Carbone has a carbon shroud, can this be retro-fitted? What about the hub or spokes or rims ? Waste of money ?

Anyone try "new" Turbo Saddle at Nashbar?
|
| |
Hello, I glanced at the Nashbar catalog sideways, for just a moment before I threw it away, and spotted this : Selle Italia Turbo Saddle, $49.00 / on sale for $44.00. Looks just like the old saddle, but has a synthetic cover. Anyone tried one of these newly-made Turbos? How does the firmness of the padding compare to the originals? Softer, firmer? The old ones... more »
