  • Its a HED disc - how does it ride . . . well its super stiff, when i had it on the Condor which was an ultra stiff frame, you could feel every ripple in the tarmac, not nearly as bad on the Aende - i cant say that i have noticed being blown around by it, but then its not the kind of bike you take out in shit weather, my front Aerospoke on my old condor was far more unstable in the wind. Of course it isnt designed to go bunnyhoping around on, but it is suprisingly tough.

    Plus the sound it makes when you get up to speed never fails to put a smile on my face.

    The sizing/fit of Lo-Pros is so all over the place - i was lucky in that mine fitted just right, but really its a matter of building it up, giviing it a go, and either loving it, or if its not your cup of tea selling it on

    ye i reckon it feels a lot nicer the aerodynamic advantages are undenyable.

    now if only i had the money for a zipp disc

  • Ive been riding mine for about two months now and I have to say I love it I have 700c / 26" Im 6' and dont have a problem, I use it for commuting 30min runs max, tho I went for a long ride on it and to my surprise no back ache ..but my fingers got pins and needles after a while as you would expect.
    I have left the vert dropouts on and just messed about with half links and got a perfect chain tension.

  • Your saddle is still at a shit angle though.

  • Saddle to bar drop isn't an issue if the frame fits you properly. That's what I find anyways

  • Your saddle is still at a shit angle though.

    haha ;) ...well, your face is at a shit angle!

  • ooooooooooooh you got served

  • Mine was a shit angle for a while. Couldn't get the balance between leaning forward because of the geometry and falling off my saddle.

  • haha ;) ...well, your face is at a shit angle!
    That's just your wonky vision you bug eyed cunt.

  • i dont have one myself, but from my experience of riding other peoples bikes ive found that i have more problems with my hands than back.

    love the aende!

  • This is mine, 650 on the front, but as has been said before, the risers make a difference.

    it took a bit of getting used to, but it's fine now no real back ache, just more tired arms if anything. It' super whippy around town though and for my commute 20mins, it's perfect. Plus there is almost no toe overlap with a small front wheel which is a bonus.

    Nice! I find it is the wrists that need to HTFU on a lp, not the back
