They have changed a lot over the last 7+ years. The older ones are taller; the tubing wall thickness is a lot less these days and they are now anodized versus painted with an enamel-like finish. The key item is the outside diameter of the tubes has stayed relatively consistent. I did a lot...

Shimano / SRAM - means traditional hyperglide. => SRAM, Shimano and 3rd party cassette sin the 9-11sp are hype glide there are a few 12spd XDR is an evolution of XD.... The XDR interface is 1.85mm longer than XD and is designed for road hub applications. XDR maintains the same hub spacing and...

Front shifts are "offset" and rear shifts are "adjustments" potatoe patatoe You can get a lot of range from a 10-speed GX9 derailleur but that was the end of the era as you pointed to 1x took over. You can do some crazy stuff now by marrying eagle with road and the axs wireless; but non of that...

To get beyond 36 on a 2x setup, you need to use adapters or get extra long B-screws and a tighter front spacing so the derailleur has enough capacity. https://www.wolftoothcomponents.com/collections/derailleur-optimization/products/roadlink...

agreed and done

Yeah the translation helps a lot..... Di2 helps the value a lot. The Mavic wheels are super budget climbers. Moose Pack's never get old Carbon Fork is an error that will be alloy.

Zoom in though that bike appears to have Di2 on it; didn't run the description through the translator; it if is Di2 that would aboug $800-ish to the value we'd all probably put on it.

Sharper than 90 degree is unclip situation, practice low speed very tight figure-8’s with your back up off the seat and you will Learn the boundaries and build the skills need to recover at the same time Unclipping is yeah olde do it sooner. Unlike a road bike there is no penalty for unclipping...

Ditto in Texas 102F and the Ventisit is just fine, meanwhile, I can soak the stock pad in 80F. I prefer the thin pads from Ventisit directly over the thick ones myself.

Yes, in fact, the build diary is going to explain this in the next few days (I've been on the road traveling that's why there haven't been post for week). I got the inserts for only the front to avoid precisely what happened to Matt. All 3 of my major road rashs were caused like that. Once you...

If you can shorten the boom more I would suggest you do that and move the entire assembly forward because the handle bar clamp is further back than optimal creating a lot of tiller leverage. Cranks look longer than optimal for you leg geometry causing more knee bend than most people like...

Hi Jim, That will be something I'll cover in the Diary with part #'s and photos. (Not that far yet, but it's solved)

FYI: I have member confirmation that Tuni (who joined back in May) has bought a bike from one person and then either offered it or resold it to another. Nothing wrong with a little deal brokering as a side hustle... So just make sure you all communicate. Tuni feel free to clarify and provide...

As the other said; 1. close the triangle up under the seat, 2. get the brifters lower, 3. If you are tall enough for that long chainstay then you might need more volume behind your shoulders to get the turbulence down 4. Lower the tire pressure if you can That all said; If you have the medium...

I've been making good progress as well. Little more to work out. I'm testing 3 different shoes. 2 older pairs (my old indoor pair and my outdoor ones) and a new pair for outdoors because the old pair really beat up. I'm using the old outdoor pair as a control set that I can change because I...

Sounds like a loss of aerobic fitness; From a safety stance; throw the bike on a trainer, do a 90-minute ride at 72% FTP, and take a look a cardiac drift. (I assume since you have done triathlons, you have the gear and tools to do that) If you can't stay in HR Zone 2 at 72% of what you consider...

3 things. 1) Get a a picture of you sitting on the bike so we can see if you boom is the right length for your body geometry; small changes make a surprising difference; like MM and it takes some time to learn. When you know what correct feels like you'll know when it's not. 2) See this...
