My suggestion was you don't need to keep upgrading your steed, not that you shouldn't if that is your wish. It may not apply to you, but plenty of people are somewhat sheep-like and don't think enough. Or is it that I think too much? Baaaa.
Just buy a pair of Pro 3 Race, and stop justifying it to yourself and this forum
I'm not justifying it me or the site. Hmph!
I'm justifying it to my girlfriend..... :?
When the conversation arises about my bike, I always refer to this site and the points raised.... 'Should I get this item' threads made by me are actually 'Convice my girlfriend to allow me to buy' threads...
That said in this instance I did want suggestions of alternatives to GP4000s. Will most likely be going for Pro 3 Race.Food Chain number = 4
A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game0 -

Yep! I realise that sacrifice is the reward of love.
Like most women she has an uncanny way of making me feel bad when I spend any money on something she doesn't think is worth it.
"What did you get me" or "What did you buy the flat" "We're out of milk" are questions loaded with nuclear warheads....Food Chain number = 4

I don't bother with a torque wrench, seems like overkill really.
Am I to understand that this is the reason why my seatpost keeps slipping into the frame no matter how hard I tighten it?Food Chain number = 4

If thats the case then you might have the wrong size seatpost, it shouldn't slip.Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.0 -

Sorry let me rephrase slip.
It slides into the frame after having me plonk 14stones of me onto the seat over the course of a day or two. Even then its gradual but it happens.Food Chain number = 4
