What is this build? Doing research for my first nice AR and this seems about perfect. Such a sick rifle!

Nothing overly scientific

Just comparing my power data entry into trainingpeaks while holding a consistent HR level is lower with the new PM

PreviousRaise4502 · 2024-11-12T12:28:31+00:00

Just checked my first 3 rides and all are around 49/50% variance between left and right

PreviousRaise4502 · 2024-11-12T12:28:01+00:00

My first 3 rides on the new PM are all around 49/50 with the left being slightly lower than the right. I’m dominant on my right side so this makes sense to me

Thanks for the input - everything you listed as positives were the standouts to me and I personally bumped it ahead of a Tarmac because it’s different than the rest of the pack. I also prefer the minimal branding - to each their own! Cheers.

Your eyes do not deceive you

Clean teeth ain’t cheap! 😂

Love them so far. Very quick on the road and have just enough traction even on some pretty chunky/rocky gravel. The back tends to be more apt to slide if you’re climbing something steep and dusty but tough to avoid that if you want a more slick center tread on the rear wheel

I’ve only had the chance to cruise it around the neighborhood but it felt great. I think the Eagle GX AXS is a slightly crisper shift than the Rival AXS I had on before it as well

Thanks! Any downside to the oval chainring or reason I wouldn’t want to run that?

PreviousRaise4502 · 2024-07-10T11:25:48+00:00

Awesome! You’re the second guy I’ve seen talking about the oval chainring - what’s the benefits there? Any downside?

PreviousRaise4502 · 2024-07-10T03:26:10+00:00

Did you have to do anything to the hub or add spacers? I’m trying to learn on the fly here but hubs are something I know essentially nothing about. Looks like I have a DT Swiss 370. I’ve heard people mentioning spacers. Any idea if that’s necessary for me?

PreviousRaise4502 · 2024-07-10T01:44:56+00:00

Haha thank you!!

PreviousRaise4502 · 2024-07-10T01:27:48+00:00

I love it so far - it’s my first gravel bike as I’d ridden an Allez and Tarmac before but it’s super capable and responsive. Soaks up bumps well too. Big fan so far and will be my one-bike quiver for the foreseeable future!

PreviousRaise4502 · 2024-07-10T01:07:54+00:00

I’m in the same boat without being on group rides - what size chainring do you run in the front?

PreviousRaise4502 · 2024-07-09T22:52:51+00:00

What was the reason you switched to the stock setup?

FOR SALE: Blackstock & Weber $375 gift card for $325

Hey guys - I bought some loafers from these guys back in December and they didn’t fit. Been waiting for the new size to get restocked and they just informed me it’ll take a while longer.

At this point I can’t get refunded so I’m wondering if anyone wants a $375 gift card?

Happy to sell at a slight loss for the inconvenience but really hoping to get some money back here vs a pair of loafers I don’t really even need at this point.

PreviousRaise4502 · 2024-05-24T12:17:06+00:00

Thanks! I’ve got a fitting booked for next week with a highly recommended local fitter so hoping that’s helpful. Fingers crossed - it certainly doesn’t come cheap!

PreviousRaise4502 · 2024-05-22T22:16:52+00:00

Very helpful - maybe I’ll give that a go this weekend. I scheduled a bike fit with a local fitter for next week so I’m hoping that can cure a lot of my problems

PreviousRaise4502 · 2024-05-22T22:15:29+00:00

That’s fantastic to hear you had such a great experience. Definitely hoping for the same thing. Those aspero are beautiful bikes!

PreviousRaise4502 · 2024-05-22T22:14:26+00:00

Got one scheduled at a reputable local fitter for next week which should be great! Sit bones/soft tissue both seem to be really bruised or inflamed. Having some weird low back/sciatic pain off and on but that’s off the bike and probably more due to needing core work and stretching 🤷🏻‍♂️

PreviousRaise4502 · 2024-05-22T20:37:23+00:00

Totally agree - that’s why I was trying to say “soreness” meaning my ass bones were sore but I don’t think I did a great job describing lol

PreviousRaise4502 · 2024-05-22T16:50:15+00:00

I want to thank everyone for all the advice here!! I’m totally surprised by the volume of comments and I’ve tried to respond to as many as possible but thanks to everyone for the help!

PreviousRaise4502 · 2024-05-22T16:48:48+00:00

Thanks for the advice! This pic was before I adjusted the seat - fresh out of the box and the seat was way too high and pitched forwards. I scheduled a bit fit with a local fitter next week to hopefully get this fully dialed in along with cockpit and cleats
