Got the 105 pedals today and fitted them and went for a ride this evening...I think its there now, and I will leave any more tinkering alone untill things wear out. Having been a lifelong BMX then MTB rider this is a new world for me on the road bike but I am for the 1st time seeing the attraction of it! I said to my wife tonight after the ride compared to my MTB's its like iceskating....fast, quiet, and easier than snowboarding off piste!

Still loving the ride...been out a lot over the last month or so (well for me!) I dont get home from work till 7.30/8pm so I have been going out every night for the last couple of weeks for a little 10/11 mile loop. Its still a sweet ride! I am slightly cautious of the flex in the fork as I fear a fail at speed! The same with the frame whilst its nice and offers damping on the little bumps I worry that the carbon will snap! Am I just being paranoid?? How much should forks flex? Is there a max weight for carbon road frames???!
I find that the 14 gears are plenty enough for my style of riding although I am tempted by a bigger outer ring as I have reached max spin on a couple of downhills...
Any thoughts?
Cheers
