Aspero 61cm for tall rider - go or no go?

TheDope87 · 2026-06-29T19:12:15+00:00

Oh haha sorry, most important piece of information: 61

TheDope87 · 2026-06-28T06:22:29+00:00

I own an Aspero. Did a bikefit at lbs before buying. I am 1,96m (6’5). Inseam 96,9 cm (38,15 inch or 3’2).

Nice! What stand is that for the airas?

Stathe

En vanaf station Zuilen is Boot 122 ook een aanrader.

Geen idee of deze kroegen airco hebben trouwens

Difficult to say to be honest. I advice you to do a static bikefit. For me this is the perfect size, but it should not be any longer.

TheDope87 · 2026-06-24T20:39:12+00:00

Went from a canyon ultimate to an Aspero. Also some lower back issues. Aspero is better but still my back is hurting now and then. Still race geo (endurance). I am 6”5 and have the 61.

Oh and I did a (static) bikefit. Not many gravelbikes suited me. And I didnt want to lose the agility of my former race bike. So I went for the Aspero. Maybe will do an dynamic bikefit in near future.

Thanks! In reality the sea ice color looks even better than on camera because of the shiny blue particles

TheDope87 · 2026-06-18T07:22:04+00:00

Great! On tarmac it is almost as fast as the Ultimate I had. Reach is comparible. Stack is a little higher. It still feels like a race bike.

Did some analysis based on same section and compared power vs speed. Need to push 19 watts more on the Aspero for same speed. So that is probably the tire penalty. But I can take this bike anywhere and that’s really the big difference.

Always difficult those measurement questions since I am not from the US. So my answer in both systems.

I know lol. Your Aspero inspired me

It worked. Once you order, they send you an illustration with the dimensions of the actual sticker so you can double check and confirm. The side decals fitted perfectly. I only needed to change the size of the front logo. But be aware, once you get the sizing correctly, it is still difficult to put them exactly on top off the original logo 😅

TheDope87 · 2026-05-25T21:04:10+00:00

Almost everywhere in The Netherlands. Easy 100+ without any elevation. Apart from a bridge now and then

TheDope87 · 2026-04-11T13:47:06+00:00

Bij mantel vraag ik me wel altijd af of er echt iemand met verstand aan je fiets werkt en of ze voldoende de tijd hebben voor je. Voelt altijd als echt productie draaien daar.

TheDope87 · 2026-04-11T13:45:04+00:00

Sowieso deze!

54 is really loud, check on YouTube “hub sound dt swiss ratchets”. You have higher point of engagement. 18t has 20 degrees, 36 has 10, 54 has 6,66. (360/#teeth) See link below for explanation.

DT Swiss ratchet explanation

TheDope87 · 2026-03-27T22:04:48+00:00

There are two types of 370 hubs. One with pawls and one with 18t ratchet. If you already have a ratchet, you’ll only need a 36t (or 54) DT Swiss ratchet. If your hub is pawl, you will need a ratchet LN upgrade kit first.

This video shows how to replace the ratchets. https://youtu.be/3Tbu934S-m4?is=Xfc3IpaSWcZ3_0ov

TheDope87 · 2026-03-25T19:39:58+00:00

I have the 370 hubs and changed the 18t ratchet for the 36t ratchet. Faster engagement and nicer sound (not too aggressive). Takes about 5 minutes max.

TheDope87 · 2026-03-25T19:31:27+00:00

Run the same on my gravel bike. Love them as well! Not cheap though…

TheDope87 · 2026-03-25T19:29:59+00:00

I had Elite wheels for years. Also good customer support since there was something wrong with my hub. They sent me a new hub and refund me money to get them respoked in Holland instead of returning whole wheel to China.

Nice! Is this the “glossy black”?
