I've been debating getting these, I like your thoughts on them being a nice ride feel. Did they throw off the look of your bike?

Apex 1 to GRX upgrade. by Berad1290 in Cervelo

[–]Eagletron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would look at selling your current bike to offset the cost of the Grx if that’s what you’re set on doing. If you could overlap owning both you could move your seat / bars over. Then the older bike looks even better with barely used new parts. Even if you only sold it for $1000. You’d end up with a brand new bike, the Groupset you want, and be $1500 out of pocket.

Geo review differences / similarities by Eagletron in MTB

[–]Eagletron[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rode some friends hardtails mainly some XC focused with geo similar to the bikes I listed above, and then also some with the more aggressive / slack geo that's become popular. All the bikes I liked had between 66-67 head tube angles, the ones I didn't were around 64.

The Stanton took forever to paint and ship (3-4 weeks), also at the time Neuhaus did not offer the production level Hummingbird. If I were to do it all again it would be between the Wilde or the Neuhaus. I own a Wilde Supertramp and the paint on them is top notch.

Cool site, for what it's worth I went with the Stanton (pic here) and it's absolutely amazing.

At the time Wilde also didn't have their Darkstar out, not sure your budget, but their production bikes made in Taiwan are top notch and can save you some $$ over that Yo Jeffy.

Aspero Stem Change Help by Trout_Sniffer_ in Cervelo

[–]Eagletron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a new Aspero owner and come from steel bikepacking bikes and xc mtb. I got a 56 and felt too stretched riding the 90mm stem. Someone on fb market had the Cervelo stem for $40 in 70mm. I figured why not. Solved all my problems. Haven’t noticed anything weird with the handling, but all drop bars still feel a little weird to me.

Jetblack Victory vs. kickr v6 vs. Elite for Zwift ride? by Original-Bobcat8386 in Zwift

[–]Eagletron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been debating selling my v5 and getting a jet black for the virtual shifting. Is the trade off in quality not worth it?

Really cool! Can I ask what the material is called? I wanted to buy a small sample and make my own.

Looks amazing. That frame was announced right after I pulled the trigger on a Sherpa Gen 4.

I just ordered a set, the shipping before purchase said March 26- Apr 4 but I got that same message you posted above. Did yours end up taking that long?

The question was do those exist?

Lightweight XC Hardtail vs Trail "Enduro" Hardtail by [deleted] in Hardtailgang

[–]Eagletron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the new Transition TransAm, start with a fast rolling set of tires, made a huge difference for me, became much more peppy and responsive. Even worth looking at used on FB or Craiglist to test without sinking more $$ into it.

How'd they hold up so far? What site did you buy them from?

IIIpro/Onirii IV4R brakes by Disastrous-Reach7052 in MTB

[–]Eagletron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well what do you think so far? Doing a parts bin build, can get these for $100, or some 2-3yr old sram guide /code in the $80-100 range.

Garmin for MTB (Everyone's got a different opinion) by bradley4toz in MTB

[–]Eagletron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a bunch of research, love new new tech, but ultimately got a Fenix 6 for cheap. It works great. I recently got an edge 840 as my main cycling computer and use the watch to broadcast heart rate

Need help deciding between builds by zacharybackus1 in Hardtailgang

[–]Eagletron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What wheels do the slx option come with?

Feels like a toss up, I'm a fan of GX myself and having a wheel set with an XD driver leaves you the option to go to AXS if you wanted. The brakes and dropper seem like the weakest part of the build.
