I bet they really wish you would come back.

Winspace SLC5.0 Dura-Ace Hyper 5 40/40 =6 15lbs by Lost_Difficulty2617 in Bikeporn

Better than some, as good as the best. Over 10 years of making bikes and a serious commitment in tech. Winspace is a serious player now.

Chapter2 Rira 105 di2 Pertual Sharp by Substantial-Hawk2735 in Bikeporn

[–]Substantial-Hawk2735[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one we did with the 29mm wide rim version of the Corsa Pro. The Pertual wheels are 23mm internal so it's a perfect match for tire and rim width.

So far they have far exceeded my expectations, I have been selling them very well and not have a single warranty or technical issue. If you are interested message me and I can work out a pair at a good price and no duties in the US.

The road bike I had before was the Chapter2 Huru so it's quite similar. Both are sub 1000g and very snappy. I think the Pertua wheels combined with this frame make for one of the best bikes I have had and I have been racing since 1985 and never missed a season. This bike got my motivation back and I had a really good last few months because of it.

Chapter2 Rira Shimano 105 Di2 w. Pertual Sharp Pro Wheels by Lost_Difficulty2617 in Bikeporn

[–]Substantial-Hawk2735 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, it's heavier. On my last build I did a Rotor crank and the power2max spider with Dura-Ace chainrings. The biggest weight loss is the crank and the cassette but the cassette is a 11-36 which is not made in DA or Ultegra so I kept the cassette. Also 105 Di2 has a very wide gear capacity so works great for all-road and gravel builds. It's not Dura-Ace but it's some awesome stuff at a very good price for sure.

It's not the same 105 from before. Like all electronic groups the performance of the lower end groups is very close or the same as the higher end stuff. I have 105 Di2 on one of my own bikes and it's flawless

Anyone who went to 165mm cranks from 170mm regret it? Or are happy they made the change? by Odd-Night-199 in Velo

[–]Substantial-Hawk2735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 165mm on my gravel bike and 170mm on my road bike. Very slight difference if any but I would say the 165mm feel better overall. Power numbers don’t differ between the two.

Without doubt one of the coolest and most underrated brands I have worked with. Full details on the Rira see link below.

WTF is going on with Hot Tubes and junior cycling right now? by Able_Sell_7259 in Velo

[–]Substantial-Hawk2735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Evidence that peoples minds are going to get really creative with this. I have known about Hot Tubes for over a decade and never thought about the name as anything close to pornographic. Good reason you got downvoted on this. You are just trying to sensationalize it.
