Re: Advice, Observations on a new Dragonfly: Bikefanclub.com

I use Dura Ace SPD-SLs without a problem. Locks in tight, easy to clip in and out and very stable. Its kinda a matter of what you like though.

As far as posts go, I recommend the Thompson Masterpiece. I used to have an Alpha Q carbon post but had slippage issues. I went to the Thompson and have never had to think about the post again. I give it an "Umu thumbs up".

With regard to stem. I bought a new Zipp 145 stem at the beginning of 2006 and have used it all year. Its a verrrry sexy looking stem and full carbon but runs a pretty penny. I like the look and performance but dislike how wide the bite is on the bars themselves. I use ergo bars so my only option for mounting my Polar power head unit is around the stem area. The 145 is so wide I've had great difficulty finding a computer mount that will fit over/around it. If you won't have space limitations then you might give this stem a serious look.
