At 190lbs in the rear I always ran
100 - 110 for a clincher tire between 24 - 25mm
110 - 120 for a clinchers 23mm and under
For tubular I run the same pressure.

Yes, removable valve cores

(Below is some information I pulled from another Vredestein site)
The Vredestein Latex tube is a lightweight champ at 49 grams. Latex tubes also help to increase tire suppleness for better road feel, handling and maximum tire performance. The Vredestein Latex tube has a smooth valve stem and removable valve core. Vredestein calls the total valve length 60mm measured to the very tip. The length is perfect for most standard rims and also works well with the slightly deeper-sectioned rim used on the Mavic Ksyrium wheels.

Features

49 grams
Smooth valve stem
Removable valve core
Please note: this tube comes with a clear plastic sleeve on the valve stem that needs to be removed for most installations

Any shoe with a three hole Look style cleat configuration support a speedplay pedal and cleat. That being said, some shoes are being designed now desinged specifically for speedplay cleats with four holes keeping the stack height as low as possible.

The cleats provided fit only shoes that have 2-hole SPD cleats.
Most road shoes have a 3-hole Look style cleat, but some support both 2 and 3 hole cleats.

That being said Crank Brothers sell a cleat for road shoes, I have used it and it works good, but if you plan on using your bike for road use with road use you are probably best off with a different pedal.

They do included cleats and hardware.

That clamp is built in so you will need the braze on model. That being said if have the braze on you can buy a clamp to fit most any frame you may have.

All my Twin Six bottles are Specialized. Good eye.

The speed kings use a fairly soft rubber for mud and off road traction at the cost of longevity. I haven't used my all that much on the road maybe a couple hundred miles and the center section is fairly worn. Maybe 25-40%. Fast enough that I swapped out a pair of Small Block Eights for on-road and gravel conditions.

The wheelset is the Mavic Ksyrium Elites.

Not sure about the cassette and chain, but the crankset is BB30 and there is no such thing as a Dura-Ace BB30 model.

Yeah, these things are tough and last what seems like forever accoding to my brother. Depending on how often your rides result in dir and gravel you may want to run the wider 25 mm version.

No they are only compatible with SPD 2-hole cleats.

I love my 566, just raced the state championships today on the bike. While my use is somewhat different than yours I can comment on the fit considering you may have some inflexibility in the back. I have cut down the fork on my bike as low as it can get to get that aero fit. I have significant saddle to bar drop, but when I got the bike the bars were much higher. Considering you can flip the stem to the positive side and keep the fork tube cut high you could hypothetically make it ride like townie bike. Not sure that would look cool but that is just to show there is tons of room to move. The geometry is slacker on the bike so it rides super smooth and soaks up the bumps so nice.

Sizing I can't be sure about I would use the realcylist live help for that. You be either a Small or Medium in my opinion.

I don't think the price is justified at all considering there are nicer stainless cages for less money from Ardunel and Chris King.

That is the amount of float the pedal/cleat combo allows. The 0 degree cleat is like a fixed position where the heal is not allowed to move around freely. The 9 degree allows the most wiggle room. The 4.5 degree seems perfect for me.

It looks deceiving but the Lezyne Allow Drive only uses threaded CO2. If they could have only made if use standard CO2 from walmart for a quarter it would be a lot cooler.

All Pearl Izumi fits true to US sizing. Be confident with the sizing chars, it's a beautiful thing.

One you select the options it states GXP.

Yes, these pedal/cleats are compatible with all three-hole shoes including yours. They come with Look Keo cleats.

SRAM technical manual says 28 tooth max. But a Mid-cage allows for the 32 tooth, short cage a 28.

I have seen this in the stores and it does include a side mount bracket that screws to the water bottle bosses. It is nice because you can still use a water bottle with the mount.

I have a couple thousand on mine and they have about 50% tread.

I would ask your lbs to be more specific. I haven't heard any problems and lots of guy around here run Easton carbon. I don't have this exact wheelset but do own a set of Easton wheel with the same R4 hubs that are found on every top of the line easton wheel. They have been absolutely flawless over thousands of miles. Some people who lbs don't explain to them or don't read the manual have a problem because the bearing pre-load is set manually and after a few hundred miles or several times on and off you may have to re-set the bearing load. You know because the hub may make a ticking sound, this takes all but 3 seconds to adjust. If you research it the manual bearing pre-load set is great to have especially if you want to dial out the drag.

The spokes used are a sapim. The model I have the sapim c-xram bladed spoke and to be honest me and my brother have both broken spokes. I don't know if is the spoke tension or what but they were rather random spoke breakages.

This is only compatible with Zipp Zuma quad cranksets.

Try the Thule T2, is tilts down to get access to the back of the car.

the 26x19mm is an odd-ball size for 26 inch MTB wheels. It has been discontinued and will not fit a 650b either.

I don't see any hi-vis colors for 2011 but if you like the lemon and are looking for a PacLite shell try the Countdown, Path, or Cosmo jacket.

Keo and Delta covers are NOT interchangeable. Try the Kool Kovers for Look Delta.

In my opinion those are two very different saddles. The SLR is a flat saddle your site bones site on top of the wings. The flite is a bit wider and is more round; you site more in the saddle than the SLR. Round or flat is personal preference but flexibility is the dominating factor. Less flexible guys usually like flat saddles, but flat saddles are not as good for maneuvering around. The flite has the cutout and the kit carbonio has the carbon rails.

This is a pair, left and right.

They are sold as front wheel only, rear wheel only, or a pair of front and rear.

They make a great all around tire and have good wet traction. They have a Vectran liner to avoid punctures making them good for training and racing. If you ride a lot of mile they are a bit expensive for training though. For most these will easily last a year or more, the black chili rubber seems to last and last.

They are sold per tire, so you will need two for a full set.

Sure you can. You have to be more carefull but seatposts are quite strong. When it comes to clamping carbon seattubes or seatmasts I would use a european fork mount work stand.

The Ksyrium SL is made in France. The wheelset is $999 so it should be worth looking at for you.

The Ti Frames are still built in the USA.

In my opinion a person that is 100kg(220kg) that has problems with spokes yet wants a fast wheels you need to look into a hand built custom wheelset with no less than 28 spokes in the rear and 24 spokes in the front. You are not going to find this with a mass production wheel because they are not designed for you.

I would recommend Enve Composites 45 series clinchers with 28 spokes in the rear, 20 in front. Google the words 'custom wheel builder enve' to find out who can build it for you.

You are going to want to look into buying valve extenders as opposed to super long tube valves. This is how deep section rims are normally handled, even tubulars. Plus then you can use any old tube in a pinch.

Technically this paint scheme came out in 2010 even though they are billed at 2011 everywhere on the web. Later this year there are some new paint schemes coming out on the 566 but the frame and build specs are the same.

The finger loops are extremely helpful when removing the glove. You know how you need to pull each finger out one at a time..... that sucks. Once you have finger loops you won't turn back.

The Tw-5 torques from 3-15 Newton Meters or 26 -132 inch pounds and has a 1/4 inch drive

The Tw-6 torques from 10-60 Newton Meter range or 88-530 Inch Pounds and has a 3/8 inch drive.

Most seatposts on carbon frames torque to 5NM, so the TW-5 is best.

I like the pedro's pro torque because it has a wider range (45 - 250 Inch-Pounds) the is better for home mechanics who can't afford both a 1/4 and 3/8 torque wrench.

Possibly if you creative. The VDO X1DW does allow you to set the wheel size in millimeters. So hypothetically you would find the size of the Airdyne fan and plug that in. Then you would have to creatively mount the sensor to the fan frame and the magnet to the fan. You can also upgrade older airdyne model with a computer for about $150.

The XL size is the largest frame Look makes in the 566. That being said, I own the XL and it fits more like a 58-59cm than a 57cm in my opinion. I have had to shorten the stem to dial in the fit. As general guidence I think the XL (57) size you best those 6 foot to 6 foot 2. Give or take an inch or two with stem length.

The SDVT line are Tubular and use glue on tires, are usually lighter. The SDVC line are full-carbon clinchers that you standard tires and tubes.

This is for a pair of upper an lower pulleys. I am not sure why the copy says Mountain Use because they are for either road or mnt. They come with bushing for different applications. Below is a link to the installation info.

I sized them exactly to the regular Pearl Izumi short size and they fit perfect. But Alex's comments are valid. I expected the knee warmer to fit tight because the size large arm warmers did but the they were bigger than I though. Fit perfect but you could get a tree trunk in them so while you may want to size down if you have legs like Schleck you wouldn't need to size up unless your name was Fabian or Theo Boss.

That the angle of the stem. So the options are 0 degree (flat) or 10/-10 degree rise/drop. The step is either +/- because it can be mounted either direction.

Concerned, for a good reason man. This workstand is intended for use with round seat posts and round seat tubes. You could compromise the carbon if you overtightened the clamp. But if you are doing real work on a bike like the crank work you mentioned or you have aero bikes you should look into european style stands like the Park Tool Team Race or Topeak PrepStand Race.

Agreeing with Peter here. I have been riding the Rival group for years and have never experienced anything like what you mentioning.

No sure it is provides any UV protection. The top on the cap is mesh so it certainly won't replace sunscreen.

Nice bike man. The CAAD 9s use a 34.9mm clamp on derailleur. Enjoy the ride.

Nearly every bike in the pro peloton with a dura-ace group is running an adapter, so it looks like a pretty reliable setup.

Go with the XL. The great thing about Pearl Izumi that I cn't say for any other brand I use is that everything fits consistantly according to the size chart. Once you find your size you can be confident to order that size in the future without worry.

This is for one tire.

The Dominator and the Genius share the exact same upper. The difference is the purpose and sole. The Dominator is a mountain bike shoe with a lugged sole for dirt and mud. It support two-hole cleats only so you have to use SPD or other mountain pedals. The genius has a flat sole like any road specific shoe and support only three hole cleats used on road pedals like Look Keo and Shimano SPD-sl. If you plan on riding road primarily go with the Genius and a road pedal. If you intent on riding off road, commute, or ride primarily socially go with the SPD style pedal because they are far easier to walk around in.

They are super helpful when pulling your gloves off, especially when you are on the bike.

No XXL for the 566. The XL fits like a 58cm traditional frame.

The gino isn't a light it a mount for your light that allows you to mount your light on touring forks rather that the handlebars.

20L

Not out of the box. There is a add-on conversion for 20 inch wheels that that cost about $35.

SInce the frame and fork lack eyelets for traditional fenders you would need to use a fender like the planet Bike Speed EZ Fender.

I did end up getting a set of 2011 Rival shifters and they are different than the 2011. They say SRAM on the lever and not Rival (see picture). So the shifters shown are the 2010 model.

Dude, you might be confused. This bag is only 20x12 inches. If you have a shrink-ray you might get your bike in there, but then the airline will charge you a oversize charge for your shrink-ray.

That's easy, don't tighten it so much. :-)

You probably feel you need to over tighten it because there is a little natural play on the bike because the adjustable side of the Kurt trainer is not threaded and therefore has a little wiggle room. I have corrected this two ways. I tried some electrical tape around the threads in the inside of the tightening rod and it worked OK. If you like is really wiggle free put a nut and washer on the inside of both threaded rods. After putting your bike on the trainer thread the nut up tight against the trainer. You will need some extra time and a wrench to remove you bike from the trainer but it will be rock solid.

Currently Fyxation only makes tire in 700c

Try the Soma Everwear tires in whitewall. They look super tight

No weight limit on the Keo Blades but you if you set your release tension high currently consider the 16nM model.

It just looks that way in the pictures. The back of the wind vest is entirely mesh so it dissipates heat well. It is black but whatever is underneath will show through easily.
