"No one should complain about this cassette. The price is phenomenal.
Very little separates the Dura Ace cassettes from the Ultegra, though there are differences. However, at the price of the Ultegra cassette why would you not buy it!
I have been running these cassettes for some time now and they are fantastic. A great buy."

"I have been running the GoPro system for some time and wanted to try this as many commend the rigid hold it has on your GoPro.
It is 'rock solid' holding the GoPro safely and without any movement.
But that is the problem, you may wish to reduce camera shake on your recordings and a rock solid mount will increase the shake from road vibration. Shake can be reduced by bolting on a vibration-reducing mount onto this mount if shake is too great.

"I was worried about swapping out my Ritchie Pro Stem for the ARX Alloy Stem. The Ritchie Stem has a full wrap-around form and I was worried about the ARX equalling strength of the full-wrap form of the Ritchie. I was also somewhat concerned about the Ritchie faceplate design over against the ARX's.
My fears were ill-founded. The ARX is super-light, so strong and confidence-inspiring. A plus was the reversible form to suit a very aggressive or more upright position. The ARX Stem is also very stylish complementing my bike superbly. And the price from Wiggle for the 120 mm ARX Stem was superb.
If you want a light, strong, stylish and affordable alloy stem the ARX will fit the bill.
Thank you Wiggle and 3T."

"The Merino Short Sleeve Base Layer is great choice for those cooler day rides. I commonly were a mesh base layer but needed something a little warmer for those cool Adelaide mornings or hill rides. A mesh layer is cooler and wicks better but is not so warm.
The Merino Base Layer does the trick perfectly, but note; this is a warm base layer."

"This cage is light, stylish, easy to fit and a Wiggle bargain at this price.
But there is a problem - the rubber linking the two gripper arms fails [rots] when used especially in direct sunlight. This 'rotting' shows itself quickly and in a short time renders the cage less attractive and less secure.
Apart from this fatal flaw the cage is excellent, hence my low score."

Speedplay pedals are incredibly lightweight thanks to intelligent engineering. The engagement mechanism is housed in the cleat, not the pedal, allowing you to have a double sided pedal with one mechanism (rather than one on each side of the pedal).

"The Castelli Core Mesh Short Sleeve Base Layer is a great base layer, though I will need to dispose of the two I purchased.
Beware, though your chest size may be spot on [after all the material stretches] you will find [at least I did] that the item is anything but "cut long".
I am an average height, not tall, at 178 cm and and the L/XL base layer could not tuck into my bib shorts!
I have numbers of Castelli items and this is simply cut wrong.
One would need to be formed like the old hymn, "deep and wide", viz., as wide as one is high, for this "cut" to fit an average person!

Usually need XL Castelli? Make sure you order XXL in this item.
Apart from being cut short the item is the usual Castelli quality.

Chainring Combinations 50/34 change over 53/39
Is this Groupset available with the 50/34 x 172.5mm option?
If not, is it possible to buy the 50/34 set of rings and fit them on the Ultegra Crank supplied with this 6700 Di2 Groupset to make this a "compact" crankset?
Thanks.

Sizing of SIDI compared to Mavic Shoes
Hi,
In Mavic Zxellium Road Shoes I take a 43.1/3 which oddly translates in the chart to a UK9. I say oddly because I commonly wear a UK8 [depending on the brand].
If I were to purchase a SIDI equivalent that appears to translate into an EU 45, a size I have never worn. If this is accurate SIDI's shoes must be small made?
One does not wish to send shoes back and forth with associated extra cost.
Since I wear the Mavic 43 1/3 what size would you advise I should buy in a SISI shoe?
And would I need to bear the return postage cost if the shoe size was wrong?
Thanks for any guidance you can give.

You will be ill-advised to fit a Deore cassette to the C50s. You should fit the Ultegra cassette to the wheel set or, if you can afford it, the DA equivalent.
The Ultegra cassette is not expensive and superb quality.
