I've ordered stealth black so it will probably look very similar to this but with Campag and without awful yellow hubs.
So similar to your Rose then?
Looks great, are those Bluemels or Chomoplastics on there?
I bought a set of Hunt Aero Light Disc wheelset to replace the heavy Giant wheels.
Again and again hearing good things about these. Maybe even more than the Mason x 4 Season which are superb as a winter wheelset.
I've been reading the Bikeradar forum thread to see what is recommended and they seem to be the go to tyre. That said I am not yet committed to paying 50 quid a pop so will definitely look at other options (even going non-tubeless).
The Gavia tyres say 25mm but they are clearly not that wide. I've played around with the pressure and I am currently running them at about 90 for both (I am 82Kg). I would like to go 28mm, but I'm not sure the TCR frame will accept them and I will need to do some research and testing!
I'd be surprised if it didn't fit 28's as it came with 25's although certainly worth checking other peoples experiences. I had terrible problems with clearance on my Giant Defy 1 2015, even 25mm had less than 4mm clearance to the rear brake stay (rim brakes), but it did come with 23mm tyres.
Do you use an ELEMNT? Opinions?
I've been looking at upgrading my unit as I have started to get issues with my Edge 500. It is probably 7 years old so I guess it has has its fair share of use.
ELEMNT here, had it around 20 months (since the start of 2017). Around 500 hours, 8000 miles in 1200 rides and it's going strong. A few minor issues but only lost part of a ride once (battery ran flat), have had it freeze a couple of times but it generally sorts itself out and doesn't lose any of the ride. Have only needed to do a hard reset on it 2 maybe 3 times. My problems are only generally when following a course on it, not usual day-to-day commuting. Battery life is still great, features too and constant updates for it still (although the last year or so they're generally fixes rather than new features).
Considering I had a Garmin Edge 810 that barely lasted over a year, with around 6 months of crashing, generally getting more buggy and causing more problems as time went on, I'm 100% a convert.
The ELEMNT might be quite chunky/'ugly' and without a colour touchscreen missing some of the features of the Garmins - but I'll take a reliable unit I can depend on with longer battery life and very little fiddling required any day of the week.
Annoyingly it has just over 1300 miles on it. My last Pro4E went at 1100 miles with a sidewall split hence why I want to try something different. I do ride on some shocking bits of road I guess.
Annoying. Admittedly it looks like a cut from debris, not from a pothole or such, would cut/mark any tyre!
had some bibs delivered today but not sure what to make of them. The rapha core make me look like I've got nothing down there but a camel toe, the asos t equipe evo are the oposite, make me look like a pornstar with it's shaped area. Random pics off internet, not me.
/cameltoe crew signing in. Totally agree, but standing admiring my manhood stood up straight in cycling shorts is not a regular past time of mine. I care more about how they ride!
