I think it's an 80 man field so anything other than 80th will do me!
Realistically I'd like to finish front of the main bunch, wouldn't have the legs/turn of speed to make the break and even the stragglers from that would be minutes down.
The performance and power you've put into some of those bundy rides you'll do well! Goodluck!
Yep for the frame.
On the wheels if they're not TL I'll return them and likely get a set of Lightbicycle rims on either DT 240 hubs or I9 as I have both hub types across my fleet.
Amazing price, kinda making me think my hunt for a Tarmac Disc frameset is a little too specific... Really should broaden it to include frames like the Venge 2019, S3 Disc, Canyon Aeroad CF SL/X, Wilier Cento 10 Pro Disc.
I've always been a DT hub fan but only have 1 of them now in my fleet (internals on an old set of wheels), am still on the lookout for a disc thru axle hub but don't know anything about the I9's. Only really heard about them recently! How has yours been? Which model/age/wheels? Thanks
I wasn’t feeling the Giant Propel, the colour is amazing in the flesh but I just notice the cables everytime I look at it now lol, gonna try get a Propel Disc instead as they are a lot neater just not a fan of the colours of the Disc version. Back to the original plan of new wheels for the Supersix for now.
Now the big Question, tan walls or not?
Im not sure if they will make my bike look too busy.
Hard to judge how tan walls will look without pictures! Anyone good with Photoshop and can photoshop some on there? To be fair the times I've looked at tans I've always thought they looked best on a frame with a solid primary colour, not too bright. So my
Diverge with it's hyper green would probably be a big no-no...
I've never really seen the appeal of tan walls. Maybe on a gravel bike, but not on a Supersix!
The bigger the volume tyre the better they look!
Took the plunge and ordered the wheels, Hunt 50 Carbon Aero Wide
Call me mad but I’m going to by a set of Dura Ace 9100 Rotors simply because they look amazing!
Hope it was the
Hunt 50 Carbon Aero Disc as I think the 'wide' named ones are only Rim brake! The
50 Carbon Aero Wide (rim) are still 'only' 19mm internal. The
50 Carbon Aero Disc are 21mm internal without being called wide!
The 9100 Rotors look crazy good, they really make the Ultegra RT800 (silver) look ugly - they look too shiny in pictures but I imagine in the flesh they're not as shiny, same with the RT900 I expect.
Cannot confirm if you are allowed to have tan sidewalls without seeing the frame first.
Tan walls is an art form. Often abominated. Such as on a thing like a "gravel bike".... Marketing crud. It's CX or a MTB. Not a mud/gravel/adventure/enduro/frankenmadeuplingoshitebiketomakeyouthinkyouneedone
Pfffft! To be fair I'm half in agreement. But I'm an exception as I use my 'gravel' bike as a comfortable road bike!
But by your same argument there shouldn't be aero road bikes, or lightweight climbing road bikes?
