staff TJ's recommended parts!
Following on from Mr. Mitz the other day, I would like to introduce TJ's recommended parts this time.
By the way, here 's the bike I'm currently riding.
It's difficult to find the part you're looking for from an infinite number of parts by just looking at the text. It's fine if you can just come to the store, but I think most people can't do that.
Just like with delicious food restaurants, word of mouth is the best.
I wish there was a site like Tabelog where everyone could rate parts with stars. Actually, that's not the case.
So, this time, I thought that there are very few people reading this blog, so I thought I would try to convey the real experience of using it, rather than just what is on the surface...
Here's the first one right away!
After all, the tires are Corsa.
This is number one for me.
When I introduced the bike before, I used Panaracer's AGILEST out of curiosity about the new model, but it was "normal" for better or worse. This tire is great! To be honest, I don't think so, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it.
If you want to feel the difference in speed with AGILEST, it might be better to use AGILEST LIGHT. It seems that the range of materials used to increase durability is narrower than the normal one, but it seems like you can't get that far unless you tilt it when riding in a bank, so if you're using AGILIST for city riding, try using LIGHT, which is lighter and rolls better.
I ended up going back to the CORSA I had been using before AGILEST, but I could feel the difference the first time I replaced it.
The feeling of grasping the ground is on a whole other level, and I want you to empathize with it once you use it.
Air pressure of about 125 PSI seems to be good for me. It is interesting that tires are not only used, but also that the ride comfort changes depending on the thickness and air pressure. It's worth trying out various things.
Of course, the Control has excellent durability and grip, so you can easily ride through the city's bumps and some rain.
I will not cheat anymore and will live with Corsa for the rest of my life.
If you have installed a SUGINO crank and customized all the other parts, you think there is nothing left to do. I'm still waiting for this one.
This BB is non-NJS and was made with full focus on performance.
I run on a road with lots of hills every day, but I can't really stop going downhill. The legs to stop it are too tight. I went down hoping that the traffic light below was green.
If a normal square taper BB can bring out 100% of the performance of a 75 CRANK, this one can bring out 200%, 300% more. Anyway, it's a monster.
The price has become a monster even though it is an invisible part, but the price is unlikely to go down from here, and I feel that it is the most cost-effective part.
If you're using SUGINO cranks and are getting carried away, let's brag about the BB and beat them to the punch.
However, don't forget about regular maintenance.
The durability of parts is often talked about when it comes to various parts. Personally, I think it's mostly fine as long as you don't neglect daily maintenance. Not only this BB but also relatively cheap parts can be used to achieve maximum power if properly set up. Remember BIG BOSS Shinjo's gloves? There is no part better than maintenance.
SIMWORKS Rhonda Stem
If you want to add some spice to a classic look, I would definitely choose SIMWORKS x NITTO parts.
The characteristic Heart & Arrow mark appears to be engraved by craftsmen one by one by hand, making it one of a kind in the world.
What SIMWORKS does well is that it taps into those romantic aspects.
The stem tends to be one-sided, but THOMSON has a different atmosphere, and regular NITTO feels bland, so this is the best.
Furthermore, the body is made from a combination of different materials: chromoly and only the face plate is aluminum, which goes perfectly with the aluminum handle made by NITTO.
Since repairs are also done here, a black face plate is attached to the silver body. You can also play with it.
I'm thinking about changing the spacers eventually...
This design is nice.
These are TJ's recommended parts!
This time I have only excerpted some parts, but I have used many other parts, so please feel free to contact me.If you are far away, please feel free to contact me via email.
right away If you would like to customize it, it would be helpful if you could contact us on LINE in advance to order the parts as they are not often in stock at stores!
Please look forward to the next update.
