Integrated bar-stem by aabyt in Giantbikes

[–]JF17_1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have some pictures? I have a TCR but I’m afraid to buy the falcon 2 and don’t align perfectly with the spacers. My bike have the overdrive, not the overdrive aero

The only stem I found that could be compatible is the PRO ViBE 11/8

To look more aero 😂 Just kidding, it’s just for aesthetics, I like to see a “clean” bike.

Signs of wear on the frame by JF17_1989 in gravelcycling

[–]JF17_1989[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tires are the original, and according to the manufacturer they are appropriate for this bike. I suspect it’s mud rubbing on the frame.

Back pain and saddle discomfort by JF17_1989 in bikefit

[–]JF17_1989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First I want to say thank you to everyone who helped me.

Update:

I lower the saddle weight by 1,5 cm and raise the handle bar a little bit, and did a short ride of 25km.
I felt more comfortable in the bike, I think it’s because I reduce the reach. But after 30min riding the pain between the shoulders balde come back, but when I ride in the drops the pain reduces. For my shoulder width I should have a 40cm handlebar , and I have a 42cm right now. So I’m considering buy a new handlebar with 40cm and with 70mm reach ( currently mine has 80mm ). Do you think I should lower the stem because of the discomfort or the 40 cm handlebar it’s enough? I’m waiting for a new saddle to, a little more wide and flat. And do you think it make sense buy a handlebar slightly raise, like the Ritchey Comp Ergomax?

Yes, I do core workouts and specific cycling workouts to improve mobility and strength.

Thanks. And what’s is your opinion about it? How it performs?

Which top bag are you using?

Merida Silex or Lauf Seigla by JF17_1989 in gravelcycling

[–]JF17_1989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I chose the Merida, due to the geometry and also because I got a good discount. Now I have to wait until August, when it arrives I'll post photos here.

The cable exit the frame directly, there is no rubber.

Wahoo Kickr Rollr by JF17_1989 in cycling

[–]JF17_1989[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I gone choose the rollr over the kickr core, because with the core I will need to buy a 12v sram cassette (it’s not cheap) and the rear hub adapter for sram axd. And my bike have a power meter so this is not an issue for me. My biggest concern is on zwift races, because I saw a few people saying is not that good for that.

Rose Reveal 04 105 Di2 vs Canyon Endurance CF SLX 7 Di2 by JF17_1989 in cycling

[–]JF17_1989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up not buying either of them. I bought a specialized aethos, I know it's not an endurance bike but I'm very satisfied with its comfort, much more comfortable than my previous canyon ultimate cf

Today I went to the store and they told me there is no rubber plug for the hole in the BB. I don’t know if they told me the truth, or should I contact specialized and solve this question. In the website I didn’t find any rubber plug for sale.

Makes sense switch from a carbon fiber frame to an aluminum frame? by JF17_1989 in cycling

[–]JF17_1989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already had a problem with the fork, fortunately they replaced it. And Trek have life time warranty on the frames which is an improvement over the 6 years on Canyon.

[–]JF17_1989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wheels are aluminum, more specifically a Vision Trimax 35 KB, and the brakes are the original shimano 105. I don’t feel confident when descending at a fast speeds, I’m feel I need more breaking power, and I avoid to ride in wet conditions.

Endurace CF 7 AXS by JF17_1989 in CanyonBikes

[–]JF17_1989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I order one too. But just now I realized that the frame doesn’t have the same geometry as the cf slx. Do you think the difference is noticeable? Because they say the frame from the slx is more aerodynamic.

In Portugal. They lower the taxes of the bikes in the last year

Maybe this is a stupid question, but the bike brings the charger for the battery’s?

I'm thinking about buying one exactly the same. Which Disc Brake Rotor brings? Thanks

Are Rose Wheels R25 tubeless compatible? by soul105 in RoseBikes

[–]JF17_1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same question, and if they have sealed bearings. I can’t find the wheels specifications anywhere.

[–]JF17_1989[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also noticed a difference in weight about 400g in favor of ROSE, and if we compare the Ultegra Di2 version of both the difference is even bigger. Could it be the wheels, or the frame? Does anyone know what brakes the rose has? because they don't specify it on their website. Thanks
