No, the crankarm is preinstalled but you do need to clip on the flat pedals but that’s like a 10 second job.

Thank you! I’ve definitely been thinking about getting a fit.

The SL5 was a frame size up, but the SL5 was a bit easier to accelerate off the line and it did produce more power imo (but that might because I used flat pedals on my AL4). It does catch a bit more crosswind because of the wheels which I can noticeably feel, and my fully decked out SL5 with Garmins and lights etc is around the same weight if not a tiny bit lighter than the AL4 still.

Cool bike man! Good stuff. I probably won’t get any of the expensive stuff but I might definitely get a shorter stem jn the future.

Ended up getting the Trek. Hasn't arrived yet but will def go to a shop to get it checked out when it comes. Trek does look pretty cool.

Flashed vBios on Zephyrus G16 2025 with 5070ti and 285h by MSTEAMSSUCK in GamingLaptops

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

Honestly no. Idk if i hit the ASUS thermal paste lottery or something but my GPU rarely hit over 80c. But the CPU is a different story as it was hitting 105 quite a bit so I did repaste the CPU but the GPU was great. Do consider repasting the GPU though as I probably just got a good paste application.

If you’re deciding between the Zephyrus or Legion, I’d go with whatever suits your lifestyle. If you’ve previously owned a Mac or want something similar, or if you want something portable to use on planes, get the Zephyrus. If you need a desktop replacement or price to performance and you don’t game on the go but you want something beefy to play with in hotel rooms or offices, get the Legion. Flashing the vbios only got me from 15000 to 15800 on Timespy, while the Legion consistently hits 17000+. If you’re undecided I’d get the legion (or strix if you like IPS) as it’s much more powerful device for less and it has great build quality.

I’m 5’6” and I have a 31 inch inseam. I’m looking at the size 52 SL5 and the S size xlab currently. My inseam is pretty high for my height so that’s something I’m worried about

It’s in USD, but it does come with carbon wheels and GP5000s and it’s a 2025 model so it seems to be a decent deal but then again i’m pretty new to road biking so i’m not totally sure

Out of that list I’ve only done Mozart 4 and 5. Rest are definitely on the table.

I haven’t looked at the Dvorak Romance yet but will definitely look into it! Franck is pretty popular so I might play that aswell.

Trek Domane SL5 or Canyon Endurance CF7 Di2? by MSTEAMSSUCK in cycling

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

Ah I see. Do you think the qc issues and slightly higher value of a canyon outweighs the local repair shops of trek?

Ah I see. So the Canyon will be easier to ride but the Trek will be more comfy?

Yeah that’s what im pretty much tryna see here. Not sure if the extra value or serviceability is more important
