These reviews are from past customers who booked EK Business Solutions through HireAHelper. Once the job is completed, each customer has the opportunity to leave an unfiltered, uncensored rating. Service providers have an opportunity to respond to these reviews if they choose.
Our delayed response is due to a death in the immediate family, we are very sorry. We addressed Johnny & Mike about this job & they do not know how this could have happened. We always use moving blankets & plastic wrap only if the customer requests it as it is at an additional cost to the customer. As far as the rope, that should have been used as it is standard practice for us. Puzzled as to how the table was splintered/smashed if it was not dropped by the movers? Again, we are very sorry.
~ EK Business Solutions
We are so glad you were pleased with our services. James & Mike are definitely good guys. We would be honored to work for you again if the need arises. Thanks for your business.
~ EK Business Solutions
We tried to reach you as soon as we received the work order. We were not able to reach you until the day before your move. You did not know what you wanted/needed when we spoke to you, how were we to know if you didn't? You were in no way ready for movers when we arrived. You were scrambling to get things together & sent our crew away after the minimum time allotted saying all you wanted was for them to move the large items. If we knew what we were getting into we would have been better prepared
~ EK Business Solutions
Thank you, Ms. Frantz! So happy to hear Jeff & Rhiley were able to meet your needs. Our goal is to be able to provide the customers needs as best we can at any time. We are also very grateful for the referral. Hope the new home is is working out well for you! Thanks for your business.
~ EK Business Solutions
Thanks for your kind words! It was a real pleasure to work for you all.
~ EK Business Solutions
I'm sorry that you are unhappy with our service. We left thinking you're pleased by the way you thanked us for our service & treated us to McDonald's. It was brought to your attn that having some of the truck packed before we came & having your son throwing boxes in at the end could cause the load to shift. We did not use packing tape while at this job, so we are not sure how the damage could have occurred by us. The coupon was not even honored by HAH & you were aware of this beforehand. Thanks!
~ EK Business Solutions
Thank you for the compliments, keep them coming :) It was a pleasure to work for you. We are happy to know we were just what you needed. EK Business Solutions would love to work for you again in the future. Thanks for your business! ~Jose & David

~ EK Business Solutions
Thank you for the review!! Jose and James were happy to assist you with your move!
~ EK Business Solutions
We were told by you that you needed help unloading boxes off of a trailer and taking them into a business. What we actually did was unload HEAVY elevator parts off of a tractor trailer with only 2 guys and had to take everything to the 4th floor. The parts weighed hundreds of punds and you had no equipment to help with the moving. Not to mention the trailer had no ramps or lift gate so we were doing everything from chest high to try and get the parts off the truck while you sat back and watched.
~ EK Business Solutions
We are sorry someone was in a vehicle accident and are in critical condition therefore, were unable to perform these duties. We have never had this happen in the past, and had no other options for that day. We asked to come out the following day, and you didn't want our help.

~ EK Business Solutions
You must have us confused with the guys who loaded your truck! There were no brick walls and your dressers were scratched before we even picked them up! We pointed out the damages to you and you said you already knew about it and that it happened during loading and we UNLOADED your truck. Thank you!
~ EK Business Solutions
Future customers please disregard this review. This customer was completely drunk and had no common sense at all and it looks like he was still drunk when he typed this review. As all our other ratings show we do a great job and will continue to offer our 5 star services to all future customers. There is always one bad apple in the bunch and this guy was it. Lots of false statements in this review. He accused my movers of doing drugs in the car during the move. He was very disrespectful
~ EK Business Solutions
Glad we were able to help you out. Good luck at the new house.
~ EK Business Solutions
Thanks Paul. Good luck at the new apartment.
~ EK Business Solutions
Glad to hear everything went good for you. Hope you guys had a safe trip. Keep us in mind if you ever move back to PA.
~ EK Business Solutions
We enjoyed working with the both of you. You made things as easy as you could have for us and we thank you for you efforts.
~ EK Business Solutions
Sally, It was great to work with you and talk with you. We enjoyed playing with your dogs and keeping them entertained. We would be more than happy to assist you with future moves.
~ EK Business Solutions
Thank you for the great comments. We enjoyed working with you several times. Than you for passing along our information to others and realtors that may need assistance.
~ EK Business Solutions
It was great working with you. See you in a few weeks when it's time to unload.
~ EK Business Solutions
Hopefully everything worked out for the situation you were in. Give us a call if you need any further assistance.
~ EK Business Solutions
We are glad you were pleased with the outcome. The yard looks amazing.
~ EK Business Solutions
Thank you. Keep us in mind for future moves.
~ EK Business Solutions
We moved all your belongings and when asked if you would like anything else done you had stated that you would schedule another day for us to come back. We always go the extra mile when there is good communication! If you would have liked something else done you should not have told us the job was finished. You had stated that you did not know how you wanted your items organized and until you figured it out the job was done.
~ EK Business Solutions
We apologize for the unfortunate mishap. The customer watched her motorcycle get loaded and strapped down and voiced no concerns at the time of loading. Customer was informed that the way her truck was loaded was unsafe and it was unsafe to have a motorcycle in the back of a truck. Kickstand breaking means driver was driving way to fast and the truck was bouncing all around. It could have broke during unloading,there is no proof on how it broke so a insurance company will not take a claim for it
~ EK Business Solutions
Great working with you. Thanks for the lunch and the drinks.

Gotta love Google for just making themselve useful, wether you use their services or not...
Phoronix: VIA Chrome 9 Hardware Documentation Released
While it was just a couple weeks ago that a VIA Technologies representative had admitted to me their Linux / open-source strategy is basically dead (and they had failed in delivering their Linux goals for 2010), it seems that today the first Chrome 9 (VIA VX900 IGP) documentation has been released. It appears to originate from VIA Technologies but this public release is coming to the community through the OpenChrome driver project. This documentation covers the 2D, 3D, and video engines for these integrated graphics processors...
Gotta love Google for just making themselve useful, wether you use their services or not...
Now this deserves from page treatment! Where can one buy chome9 hardware (desktop or laptop)?
Okay. CC license, lots of specs, that might be good for something.
I know that a driver won't pop up within a week, but now the devs have at least a chance to write a driver and not have be so desperate that they're fixing typos in code comments. Sadly there are even OLDER chips that still not seem to get the love that they need (Unichromes, e.g. CLE266).
Still, a first step in the right direction.
I'll watch the situation but still stay away from hope.
Wow! <- I said that out loud when I read the headline.
Kudos to VIA, better late than never! Shame my HP2133 might start collecting dust now that Fusion ultraportables start hitting the shelves.
Eh nvm, I think it's a different IGP >.<
This is more than nVidia ever did for Free driver development, mind you. Or Intel, in the case of Poulsbo. This is what everyone always wants from vendors. This is what they owe us. Sure, there's work to be done, fine-- but you can't say it's too early to applaud this move on VIA's part.
Just a little correction - that's what reasonable people always want from vendors. Then there's many others who don't give a damn and just want their hardware to work to it's full potential right after they've made the purchase.
I can't say I blame them - all I'm saying is that I'd much rather achieve that this way:
- Hardware manufacturer would release complete (reliable, efficient and full featured) libre driver along with documentation well before the hardware itself hits the shelves (that means soon enough for all the pieces to be able to make it into the components that the next round of distros will be based on).
- Then they could step aside and let our heroes handle the maintenance.
Releasing docs is a very commendable move!
Shame that they're giving up on Linux, but at least those stuck with the hardware have hope of getting working drivers at some time.
James Simmons can probably make use of this documentation... http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...item&px=ODk3OA

I'm really curious about the version they're gonna use. Classic is a really recent feature (3.8) and I'd expect RHEL to use something more mature (even if it's just a bunch of extensions). Apart from that I haven't seen any planned improvements on classic for 3.10.
.,Two topics,.
First, someone mentioned many of the classic Window Managers are stuck on Windows 95 paradymes. Unfortunately, Gnome 3 is stuck on Windows 7 paradymes.
But even Windows 7 has a fallback to Classic Windows 95 mode. I would hardly call the Classic mode in Gnome 3 functional. I tend to have to tweak it heavily.
GTK 3 is a deadend, even GTK 2 was starting to become shoddy with features being depricated like the menu tear-offs. (GVim)
-._, These are only MY opinions ,_.-
-' '-
I think Gnome 3 's next feature should be a Charms bar. Sarcasm intended.
Gnome was a windows clone. Period. The same way GNU was a Unix clone. Just look at this in 2004. It's like a bad joke.
At least now there are blazing their own path with the extreme use of workspaces.
No, not at all. GS is very flexible and a Win7 mode is achievable through extensions (basically what the article is about).
That flexibility alone means that GS underwent a paradigm shift.
It's similar with KDEs Plasma: Plasma Desktop is configured by default to look and feel somewhat traditionally but in essence Plasma is a bucket of Legos that can be arranged is very different ways.
No version of Windows has yet been implemented that way. Even in Win8 the two shells (Metro and classic desktop) share next to no technology.
I forgot to mention about the CTRL + ALT + Right-Click on the panels.
Who's idea was that? Right-Click always worked fine. Even Ubuntu maintains this idiocracy.
Thank goodness that individuals in the community still maintain Gnome 2 and KDE 3.5.
Just a little history:>
Arch, Slackware, Suse, Ubuntu, ... All pressed forward to include KDE 4 and later Gnome Shell (not slackware though).
But ultimately the one's that made statements about how they would not include it eventually did.
Which brings up the argument of how Linux distributions follow the trends and not the concensious.
For ever 10 complaints there will be one zealot who is indoctrinated.
There are right-click when selecting an application on the panel. Recently, Gnome Shell 3.8 gained right click on displayed background.
I verified your claim about Ctrl+Alt+Right-Click in Gnome Shell, there is no such shortcut unless it is custom made.
Using either gnome-tweak-tool or dconf-editor, you can restore the traditional right-click by setting "Have File Manager handling the desktop" through Desktop Tab. That functionality exists since the first 3.0 release of Gnome Shell before Gnome-Tweak-Tool extension was written. That part illustrates the extreme flexibility of Gnome Shell, Classic Mode is just an example.

Hospice care is appropriate for people with any advanced stage illness, not just cancer, where the prognosis is a life expectancy of approximately six months or less - if the illness runs its normal course. Some patients receive hospice care beyond six months. In fact, studies show that people with end-of-life illnesses who choose hospice care often live longer than patients who do not elect hospice services.*

Two initiatives that are under way at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center will make 2009 "the Year of the Faculty," DLIFLC Commandant Col. Sue Ann Sandusky announced. One initiative is participating in a thorough review to determine whether the DLIFLC faculty is adequately paid. A second initiative is helping lay plans for a program to prepare the next generation of academic leaders at DLIFLC. Sandusky, who describes the 1,700-member DLIFLC faculty as "world class," said instructors and students are the Institute's major players. She said the success of DLIFLC instruction -- and of DLIFLC's Proficiency Enhancement Program, which is designed to produce graduates with higher levels of proficiency than ever before -- requires about equal measures of hard work from those who teach and those who seek to learn.
"Recognizing that the faculty are key to the entire enterprise, and particularly to the Proficiency Enhancement Program, I thought that it was very appropriate to highlight the faculty for 2009," Sandusky said. Sandusky said she is concerned about the pay DLIFLC instructors receive because most faculty members are outside the government-wide General Schedule pay system and are in the Faculty Pay System, a facet of DLIFLC's Faculty Personnel System that was established in 1996.
A wage-setting board in Washington, D.C., devises pay bands for the Faculty Pay System, indexing them against the salaries of community college instructors, Sandusky said.
She said the system has not undergone a thorough review since it was established and that the time for one has come, "particularly to look at the structure of our faculty pay bands and how the basic pay index is established."
To get the process started, Sandusky said, Dr. Donald Fischer, DLIFLC Provost, has done considerable leg work and members of his staff, along with the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel and Logistics staff have made a number of trips to Washington, D.C., to discuss the Faculty Pay System with federal government officials.
"It's important, I think, that we undertake locally a thorough review of the Faculty Pay System," Sandusky said, "and also bring the results of our own internal review to the attention of senior decision-makers who have the authority to adjust the pay band structure and the indexing." Sandusky said she cannot unilaterally make changes in the system.
"What we're trying to do in 2009 is identify all of the areas that need to be updated or modified and make the case to the decision-makers that this is the right thing to do in order to adequately compensate our great faculty," she said.
Sandusky said she also wants to use a collaborative process to identify a "pathway to academic leadership" to serve DLIFLC in the future.
"We have an active program to grow our faculty, mostly in their teaching capacity," she said, citing classes and seminars available from DLIFLC's Faculty and Staff Development Division and elsewhere. "But what we don't really have is a clear career path to grow the next generation of department chairs, assistant deans, deans, assistant provosts, associate provosts -- that kind of academic leadership." Serving in those positions requires different skill sets than being a good teacher, Sandusky said.
"If faculty members are to step out of classrooms to head schools with multiple departments and several hundred instructors," she said, "they will need managerial, supervisory and leadership skills."
What is taking shape for 2009, Sandusky said, are ongoing formal discussions of what an academic leader at DLIFLC needs to know.
Sandusky wants participants to include faculty members from all the schools, members of all DLIFLC directorates and members of DLIFLC's Academic Senate.
"And I hope we have good discussions about what leadership means," she said. "What skills do we need? Are there particular skills we need at DLIFLC that you might not need at a civilian university or at some other large organization in which you're managing the same amount of money and the same number of people?"
"And then we'll look at what tools are available to help us do the leadership training that we will have identified. And those tools will include courses that are already offered through the civilian education system and possibly through the new Army Civilian University."
Sandusky said the effort is not to assist individuals seeking advanced academic degrees.
"That's not what this is about," she said. "This is about identifying training programs for leadership skills -- leadership, management and supervisory skills that people need to run this organization."

- "Beats losing my ass in a cell!"
- ― Cam Jones
Cameron "Cam" Jones is/was a character in Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a supporting character in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
Cam resides in Vice City and runs his own business, Cam's Can Openers. Cam is a kleptomaniac safecracker who has been arrested by the Vice City Police Department after he was spotted running down the street with a safe he could not open. Cam was awaiting trial for attempted robbery, which would see him sentenced to ten years in jail.
Tommy Vercetti frees him from the VCPD headquarters to perform a heist on a bank, needing Cam as a bombsetter and a safepick.
Cam, along with Tommy, Hilary King and Phil Cassidy pull off the heist but the fate of Cam is left up to the player. The player can choose to let Cam die during the bank heist or can help save Cam and Phil. If Cam dies, the game script indicates that Tommy and Phil get a bigger profit from the heist, although the amount the player receives for completing the mission does not change.
VCPD Crime Tree RecordEdit
- Claims to be expert safe cracker. Expertise is thankfully dubious.
- Currently awaiting trial for attempted robbery. Was caught running down street with safe he couldn't open. Likely to get ten years.
- Confirmed kleptomaniac.
- We believe he often works with Phil Cassidy.
- Legal representation from Rosenberg & Associates. Certain to be sent down. Rosenberg can get even an innocent man put away and Jones is known to be guilty.
- Thought to have issues with women and bank managers.
Mission AppearancesEdit
- GTA Vice City
- No Escape?
- The Shootist
- The Job (Can be killed)

Mom-to-be Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge loves MaxMara! Today, the royal made her first public appearance in weeks to visit the Hope House in London, a non-profit facility that treats women with addictions, and royal watchers the world over waited to see how she'd dress her baby bump for the outing. Her choice? The Italian label's gray jersey printed wrap dress, a style no longer sold in stores (though similar versions are available). And the Maramotti family behind the label is thrilled to see the Duchess in one of their designs. "To see a style icon wearing a MaxMara dress so beautifully makes me feel so proud," said MaxMara U.S. brand ambassador Maria Giulia Maramotti, who is the granddaughter of MaxMara founder Achille Maramotti. "Catherine represents everything the MaxMara woman stands for: She is beautiful, full of energy and has such a natural elegance that comes from her consistent style. She does not follow trends, yet she is well aware of them; and the trends she does pick up on are always consistent with her timeless style. Is there anything more royal than that?" Divine, indeed!

It's not just Occupy Wall Street protesters that are concerned about the top 1%. Eleanore Eveleth, community development project manager for D3 (Data Driven Detroit) writes on how equity before wealth makes for more perfect, sustainable economic community outcomes.
Making Data a Force for Equity
Posted By: Eleanore Eveleth
Posted: 12/8/2011
"We have a moment in time in which everyone is looking up and it's ok to talk about inequality. It's our time, but only if we make it."
--Angela Glover Blackwell, founder and CEO of PolicyLink
Recently we've heard a lot of statistics about the growing income gap in the U.S.:
"Since 1976, the share of income going to the top 1% more than doubled, and these top echelon earners now get more than a fifth of the entire U.S. economic pie."
"Of the total wealth generated between 1983 and 2009, 82% of it went to the wealthiest 5% of households while the typical household's wealth actually declined."
"The gap in wealth between white and African-American families has more than quadrupled in the past two decades."
And economic mobility remains lower than often thought:
"the challenge of getting ahead, downward mobility is a serious risk, particularly for African Americans: 45% of middle-class black children end up poor, compared to 16% of middle-class white children."
As the country wades through the Great Recession, it is communities of color that have been most impacted:
"While unemployment for whites at 8% is too high, 11.3% of Hispanics and 16% of African Americans are experiencing unemployment, with an additional 22% of Hispanics and 25% of African Americans facing underemployment."
In November,
Data Driven Detroit
joined hundreds of other organizations at the Ren Cen to discuss issues of economic and social equity. Hosted by Oakland's
, the
2011 Equity Summit
brought together diverse groups from around the country to discuss equity challenges, areas of progress, and strategies for social change. For us at D3, the conversation helps ground our work and reinforce our purpose to strengthen distressed communities through access to better information and tools.
Before 2050, the majority of Americans will be people of color. At present, 45% of kids under 18 are children of color. What does the increasing wealth gap and lack of opportunities in communities of color mean for future sustainability?
Angela Glover Blackwell presented a clear proposition: America must first and foremost concern itself with equity.
We cannot expect our future to be prosperous and healthy if the majority populations have inadequate access to education, opportunity, decision-making, and wealth-building opportunities.
Glover Blackwell argues that building equity is not merely a strategy for progressives, but an economic imperative. Building equity is a superior growth model to the consumerist consumption bubble that has burst.
Equity, inclusion, and opportunity are key ingredients to unleash the creativity and entrepreneurialism required to make communities economically competitive and sustainable.
Developing countries that are more equitable and regions within the U.S. that are less segregated have more sustained growth over time.
Communities of inclusion and opportunity are more inviting to new residents and are better able to retain existing residents.
Equity, inclusion, and opportunity are also key ingredients to creating safe, healthy, and livable neighborhoods. Residents cannot merely be the object of decision-making, but must fully participate in creating the future direction of neighborhoods and the city.
Growth and sustainability require strategies to building equity: better education, access to jobs and opportunities, and genuine participation in decision-making. D3's small role in this effort is to provide access to information and tools that empower residents and inform decision-makers as they craft the future of our region, cities, and neighborhoods.
Data Analysis
At the summit, Geoffrey Canada discussed research showing that a child's zip code is a predictor of life expectancy. Canada urged the audience to think of all kids as our own � would a shorter life be acceptable based upon your zip code for your family? Would limited resources be acceptable to you for your child?
To highlight some of the issues facing children in our area, D3 published
Right Start
, an analysis of birth outcomes that informs decision-making around early childhood learning and resources for children and teen moms. Also, D3's
State of Detroit's Child
highlights critical issues requiring concentrated and coordinated community attention to improve the lives of kids.
Planning and Technical Support
In addition to data analysis, D3 has provided planning and technical support to residents as they work to design their own neighborhoods' assistance that helps residents participate in decision-making. The
Lower Eastside Action Plan
(LEAP) is a community-driven project designed to engage people in a process to transform vacant land and property into uses that improve the quality of life in LEAP neighborhoods and surrounding areas. D3 trained residents to survey the neighborhood. We also created maps and tools to assist the residents to visualize, discuss, and communicate existing conditions and future desires.
Tools to Access Information
With all the inequalities of access, Detroiters should not also have to contend with unequal access to information. As we grow, we are experimenting with new communication and technical tools to make information more easily understandable and relevant � relevant to all stakeholders.
We are also developing a variety of web-based tools with differing levels of detail and user-accessibility. Our goal is to empower stakeholders to more directly answer much of their own information needs. We also aim to provide a public interface for the same data that is used to support policy-makers and city officials. We have recently created an interactive web mapping and data visualization
Community Profiling Tool
to access a variety of indicators. Other recently developed tools were created to understand the
Census 2010
data, to get quick facts about
change between the 2000 and 2010 Census
, and to access
property-level information
prior to the Wayne County Tax Foreclosure Auction.
Inclusive and Transparent Processes
More than making data accessible, we're committed to making our process accessible and inclusive. If our process can be an educational opportunity, that's even better. Last summer, D3 partnered with
Southwest Counseling Solutions
to engage youth in Southwest Detroit to map neighborhood conditions. This
Community Youth Mapping Program
gave students an opportunity to learn more about the geography of their neighborhood and gain job skills in the process. The program introduced students to the work of D3, demographers, urban planners, policy wonks, and data crunchers. A strategy of building equity requires that these fields grow to better represent the populations they serve. It's not going to happen unless we get youth excited about things like mapping � and they are.

Dear Teltale!
I have been thinking about buying Walking Dead, but I always hesitate, because I can't really see myself as playing with a "simple" (not literally what I mean!) game compared to Battlefield 3 or Mass Effect 3 on PC, but when I saw that there will be an iOS port with new touch interface, my heart started pounding!
Only problem is, that I own an Android device, a Sony Ericson Neo V phone with 1 core 1Ghz CPU and Adreno 205 GPU. Dead Trigger with Tegra 3 graphics (water effects+ragdoll effects+advanced lighting) runs fine on this device.
This is how it looks:
(Please note that the minor graphical bugs you see are not present during gameplay, the program used to make the screenshot is responsible for those bugs)
I assume if Dead Trigger can run with advanced graphics like that on a 1 core ARMv7 CPU+Adreno 205 GPU, then Walking Dead could run with minor or no lag at all.
So could you please port it for Android too? Like I said, I hesitated about the purchase of the PC version, but I would pick up all episodes on Google Play, that is 100%.
Please don't let down your fans by making this an Apple exclusive title. That would not just hurt your fans, but also would not be good on financial side. Apple is great, iPhone/iPad are neat devices, however in almost all major countries (including the United States and most European countries) iOS sales are nowhere near Android sales.
Just in the US 51% of smartphone users are Android users and iOS is "only" 32%.
So please make the Walking Dead episodes for Android too :)

New Technology Makes Dentist Visits Faster, Easier
2011 Cosmetic Dentistry Survey: Patient & Industry Trends
MADISON, Wis. (3/8/11) – It used to be that eating apples was just a great way to strengthen your teeth. Now more cosmetic dentists are using the Apple iPad and other technologies to make visits quicker and easier.
Sixty-three percent of cosmetic dentists say they expect their business to experience at least moderate growth in 2011 and technology is the number one game-changer predicted to help the industry grow, according to a new survey from the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry® (AACD).
Computing Your Way to a New Smile
New technologies are cutting down patient office time at least 50 percent, increasing patient safety, and making the whole dental process easier and more comfortable, the survey says. In 2011, dentists say there will be increased use of:
Fountain of Youth at the Dentist?
Brushing, flossing and regular care are still key ways for patients to have a younger looking mouth, but more dentists will be adding Botox to their offerings in 2011, the survey says.
"Cosmetic dentists are now using Botox and dermal filler treatments to improve patient smiles and reduce wrinkles in addition to treating problems like temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders," said Dr. Christopher Ramsey, AACD Accredited Member.
Top Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures in 2011
As if smoking weren't already bad for your health, it's also the number one reason for teeth discoloration, AACD dentists say. Coffee, red wine, and medications also continue to be top offenders. It makes sense then that 77 percent of cosmetic dentists predict professional teeth whitening will be the top office procedure for 2011.
Cosmetic dentists say another major area of growth in 2011 will be dental implants, or replacement of missing or decayed teeth, due to the aging population.
"Tooth decay is a growing concern for older patients who are using more medications which lead to dry mouth," said Dr. Ramsey. "More seniors are turning away from dentures and bridge work for a more comfortable and longer-lasting implant option."
The survey notes other popular procedures include veneers (52%) replacement fillings (45%) and dental bonding (37%).

Can you use other cleats besides the speedplay?

Nope. These are speedplay specific. I'll post a pic of the bottom of the shoe.
Radial 2.0 speedplay, sitff as Fcuk!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs large
I am new to road biking. I wanted these shoes to for triathlon training. Since these are my 1st pair of shoes it is hard to know what to expect. I have the yellow and black and I get lots of compliments. the color on the website is wrong. It is less of a yellow and more of a green.
I wear a 8.5 running shoes and got these in a 41. It's a good fit but the heel does not lock down completely. The inside of the shoe has a soft and smooth feeling. Those sole is definitely stiff!
I use these to commute to work and training. Ride about 60 miles a week. My big toes does get numb sometimes but I think that has to do with being a masher and jamming the toes to the front of the shoe. I just changed cleat position and I'll see how that helps. Rode to Mt. Baldy ski lifts. No problems going up, but descending made my toes numb probably from jamming my toes while cornering.

Is the toe box wide or narrrow?
Is the toe box wide or narrrow?
I have a medium width foot and I find it fits well. The toe box is actually reasonably rounded. If you get these and have a narrow front of the foot - maybe get a shoe liner. That would take up some space and should be comfortable.
I wear "mega" in Sidi and found the DMT Radial 2 to be a bit too narrow in the forefoot. They are wider than the Giro Factor and regular Sidi (both are pretty narrow), but slightly narrower than the 2013+ S-Works. (My width in dress shoes is E.) Hope this helps.
Are there any differences between Radial...
Are there any differences between Radial 2 and Prism 2 other than the buckle system? Thanks
I have both and with my foot the Radial is best on centuries. The Prisma is a bit narrow at my foot's widest point and will be snug after long distance + warm weather. I am 8.5-9.0 US and have the 42.5.
