Try your LBS for the missing part.
I've never done it but given the extra cost I think I'd want a 650b compatible frame and fork so that I could run a significantly fatter tyre (+10mm min) to make it worthwhile. Changing will slightly...
That seems very light then [emoji1303]
Did you mean 19.6kg? I've never looked into these kits but guessing they're a few kgs and high end full carbon road bikes are c8kg.
Thanks. I'd like to think I'd have said so if that was the case.
I was wondering if the gold medalist thanked you for your tactics on the basis he may not have medalled without your approach?
@trident-7 nice write up and massive congrats. Appreciate first would have been nicer but, as you say, a fantastic achievement [emoji122][emoji122]
@trident-7 congratulations and can remember some of the timings/speeds you've previously posted so not surprised you won!
Right to left.
Proper lol [emoji23]
One looks nice and comfy whilst the other looks TdF aggressive [emoji846]
Reference to the camo paint scheme?
I'd argue it's the opposite as you'd get to ride a better quality frame/spec all the time by choosing a 'one bike', choose wisely and it'll do both road and gravel to most people's standards. You'll...
Mainstream but Spesh Roubaix or Trek Domane would be good starting points. Endurance road orientated but with sufficient comfort and tyre clearance for gravel tyres as/when needed.
Right, thanks, I'll have to read up on the benefits of that combo.
So that's a 29 front, 27.5 rear set up? Is the idea meant to be more traction at the front and lower center of gravity? I can't imagine going downhill at any speed close to the limits of my ability...
And extra front mudguard clearance. Maybe not [emoji6]
I'd agree with the above unless you're particularly longer in the leg than the upper torso by comparison to normal, in which case you may prefer the L (I am so was a 58cm by height in the Domane but...
^^ they'd do. I've used DMR V8s in the past and they've always been good but there are numerous options/reviews/opinions out there via Google.
Have a look at a gear calculator such as https://www.bikecalc.com/gear_ratios. You would have a greater range with a 2x (34/50, 11-32) than with your suggested 1x but whether it's useable is...
A lowest gear of 1:1 (so 34 front and rear) ought to be low enough to spin up most gradients if you have a degree of fitness and an absence of serious hills (so say 7-8% for a while or 10%+ for...
I've just replaced a steel Genesis Equilibrium disc with a Domane SLR, di2 and carbon wheels. Not really into road biking but the Missus is so this was purchased using 'man logic' to encourage me to...
Really enjoyed Kilian's vid so thanks, unbelievable speed over that ground, I'm convinced that around 14 minutes in it's playing on double speed [emoji23]
I've a couple of off road bikes but nowadays manage just the one 20-30 miles ride on road at the weekend due to other commitments. I'm currently riding a Genesis Equilibrium with 105 but have been...
You did right and that's a pretty decent response imo. No excuses for punishment style passes but equally everyone is capable of making a mistake.
