Z Time

[SloMoJo]

Well, after a few rides, I'm quite pleased with these Time Z's. They may not have the same grip as a good cage pedal or as much float as a reg time atac, but they seem to be a dang good compromise of the two.

Think I'll keep em. ;)

You'll be happy to know the tits got a nice bath and lube job tonight. She is squeaky clean.

She'll need another bath after tomorrow tho. ;)

I don't see any dents.......what kinda grease do you have on them there pedals Slomo?

What pedals were you using pre-Zs?

And how's the multiple ride review on the LocoMoto? Lovin it?

Burly bash guard!

Mark, I must say that by summer time, your role on the forum will be reversed, and your will start answering everybody's questions.

[SloMoJo]

That's right.
Mark will become McAnswer Guy. ;)

Mark, you probably asking me what is that brown stuff near the pedal threads. It's just anti-sieze. After that stuck crank experience last year, I put anti-sieze all over the place.

I used the normal time atac before, which will go on my road bike.

This is a lil embarassing, but I'm getting my wife's old road bike, as we buy her a new one, which she gets next month. Her old one was a bit big for her, but fits me ok.

I'll be trying the roadie thing this summer.

Oh the Titus?
I'm in love. ;)

SloMo,

Nothin wrong with inheriting Mrs. Slomo's Roadie! I think it's cool...and I'm sure she'll be happy getting her new shiny roadie hence possibly freeing up the reigns for you to buy new bike related toys etc. etc.

Hell I'm riding an 80s era NOS Univega on the road and it's doing the job for me just fine.

I got the Belair all completed tonight and took her out for a ride up and down the street - it was the best I could do - it was dark and no light yet. She's awesome! The cockpit fits so well. I'm stoked. Now I need to choose some new tires for her.

What tires are you running on the Loco Slomo? I thought I saw some Nokians on the Loco in previous pictures...is this accurate? If so, which ones are you running?

Cheers,

Mark

[SloMoJo]

That's cool Marko!

Tires?
Besides the studs, I've always used the Wilderness Velociraptors. Cheap...good tread design, and work great in mud...err..I mean loose dirt. ;)

Slomo,
I love time ATACs, these "Z" platform ATACs look so much more practical...gotta have em...
Is 79 a good price?

Yea, that's where I got em.
I thought they were $69 a month ago, but I could be wrong.

I could not find them any cheaper than bikeman.
Enjoy!
