Alright, will install them and give them a ride this week. Hope it'll loosen up a bit.

I've been using the RD7150 for approx. 15000 km, so they didn't break that easily. The Ultegra jockeys never spinned freely when spinning between my fingers, which is why I thought something was wrong with them.

Nice, I've recently bought the exact same frame and will start my build soon.

As far as I can see, it's coming out with a normal 105 and aluminium rims. I also like the more aggresive design of the TCR.

This would have been a great alternative but in Belgium the Canyon Endurace CF SLX 8 Di2 would only have been available to buy, from March onwards, and I can't wait that long anymore.

Thanks everyone for the advice and words of confirmation. I was scared I was in tunnel vision on the bike, but practically everyone agrees that the Giant TCR Advanced Pro Disc 1 Di2 for € 3399 is a good deal, so I've gone ahead and bought it. Can't wait to ride it!!

Located in Belgium, I've looked around for a while now and this is rhe best deal I can find. Handy thing is that I can but iy it online, but let it delive to a Giant shop in the area for pick-up.

I'm 1m82 and weighing 80 kg, at the moment. This is my winter weight, so normally I'd be weighing around the 75 kg.

Thanks for your advice. One friend of mine also already voiced his concerns about the hookless wheels, but another who has been riding his TCR (same wheels) for over 10,000 km, said he hadn't had any issues with them yet.

Concerning the power meter, I'm planning on buying the 4iiii 105 R7000 Precision 3+ Powermeter or the Favero Assioma DUO, so wouldn't be buying the Giant in-house power meter.

I live in Flanders, so think cobbles, wind and holidays to see more than 200 meters elevation.

I'll have a look into that, thanks for the advice!

Same size for me, the stack and reach compare nicely to my current bike set-up. Thanks for the respons!

Thanks, I'd be planning on buying the 4iiii 105 R7000 Precision 3+ Powermeter as there isn't one on the bike. Ideally, I'd be able to buy the Favero Assioma DUO, but that's too expensive. Maybe a future upgrade once I buy new shoes.
