Best pedal on the market. i tried out a set of x-5 speedplays and they were scary, so much float, when you got up to sprint it felt like you were dancing on ice cubes and they are way to easy to clip out ofā€¦ the zeros are way nicer once you dial out most of the float. i like em alot still gona use my rx-1s for riding to work though iā€™m not bike on carrying an extra pair of shoes for a 10min commute the speed plays are for my coppi roadie and long fixed rides ---

So tonight on my Europa Iā€™ll be swapping on the drops for a 130mm Cinelli stem and Nitto risers and Champs grips, putting a Rando on the back, and swapping the pedals over to Sylvans with Kid Killyā€™s plastic clips and double straps in preparation for tomorrow nights alley cat. ---

Yesterday I put on my new Concor saddle that I got off user ā€˜Sir Kevā€™. I know with the Concor you either love it or hate it- I love it. Super comfy. Its such a different feel to my old Selle Italia. Buying it second hand saved me about 60 or so puonds from wiggle. Thank you sir. Very much appreciated! šŸ˜ƒ ---

Mine are black somas with the star type logo on the back - ingeniously zip tied at the back to the seat tube and rear bridge and attached by holes drilled in the rear fork. Check the soma website and you will find them. Note that is a road fork rather than the original track fork - needed to get enough clearance at the front.
