What groupset are you running?

Sora. I think I have the front done now. I can't actually see the chain rubbing but, it sounds like it is

Well, I've got it rideable now.

However, the seattube bottle mount bolt is just turning in the frame. Wonder if giants lifetime warranty on frames applies?

Think I’m gonna get a power meter and leaning towards a left arm crank Jobbie.
I have full Ultegra R8000 on my bike. Cheapest I can find is £390 @ wiggle for a 4iii.
Is this about right? Not sure where else to look tbh

The 105 will fit if you don't mind the slightly different look.

I did see those and they are a lot cheaper too.
Not sure I could live with it tho....

First longer ride since holiday today. Lot colder than I expected it to be with the wind, full on leg warmers, boots and gloves.. Tougher than expected after about 90 mins. Seems my Endurance isn't quite there yet. Did a few z3 efforts and they seemed OK got quite a bit tougher above this though. Hopefully come back in next few days.

Echos how I felt, being sick & had a short holiday.

Got the P3 out today as need to get used to riding it again now it’s already a month into TT season!

You can only look at one side at a time

4iii 6800 Ultegra is about £315 on probikekit. Not sure how different they're to R8000

Prob not much in it really. Seems I could live with that.

Anyone with a 4iii that would recommend?

merlin · 5 May 2019 at 23:04

Had a 4iiii on my old Trek - it was faultless, highly recommended.

UTmaniac · 6 May 2019 at 07:51

Had a 4iiii 105 for ~13 months, it's been great in giving more meaning to outdoor rides.

Katoom · 6 May 2019 at 08:32

18 months on mine, no issues. (touch wood) lol

Nursie · 6 May 2019 at 09:16

I've had some issues with it massively over reading when the temperature rises significantly during a ride. Recalibrating mid ride fixes the issue though.

Jobe · 6 May 2019 at 10:06

Thanks guys
Ordered the 6800
Will see how it goes

New bike day

Picked up a Merida Reacto 7000E at a really good price from a local dealer, can't wait for tonight, weather looks like it should be okay for a spin

Is the E for e-bike?
