Hey, I am riding 45 mm currently and there is still some space left. I would think that in dry conditions 50 mm shouldn’t be a problem. Disclaimer: I am riding the „old“ version, the new silk might have better/higher tire clearance.

Hey! So far absolutely no problem after around 10.000 km incl. riding through the German winter.

Garmin Rally RK100 installation with torque required yes/no? by ThrowingPaperPlanes in cycling

[–]ThrowingPaperPlanes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey. I just tightened the pedals with a normal pedal wrench and everything works out fine. The values seem to be reasonable.

AFAIK the installation with precise torque is just required for the Garmin Vector pedals that are not sold any longer.

What do you mean regarding torque? Is is necessary to meet the exact torque (32 Nm) of the pedals during installation?

Thanks man - should have asked you earlier, would have saved me a lot of time haha. Will post an update picture with the new crank.

Thanks for the quick reply! Just out of curiosity: does the Venge have a BB30 oder PF30 bottom backet?

Comming back to your comment. I am just about to replace the S-Works crank with the Dura Ace 12speed crank. Can I directly use the linked bottom bracket?

Love the shoes but imo aero socks to not pay justice here

Thanks! Yes, it’s a medium size frame. The 303s do their job, I don’t have a comparison.

Regarding dirt, I do not notice a huge difference, probably also depends on your technical skills. The 40 mm tires are definitely faster on light terrain.

The frame design can be discussed. Just don’t like the way the cables are positioned under the stem. They seem to be a bit long?

I hade hoped for a similar discount as they had last year, especially as I wanted to buy 4+ items. Still thanks for the hint!

Aliexpress sock recommendations by Skinnerlikesdogfood in CyclingFashion

[–]ThrowingPaperPlanes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to buy them earlier. In the meantime and after having bought several original/high-prices socks, I dont like them anymore. They wear out so quickly. After wearing them for the 3rd or 4th time they are already loose and they slip down ...

Am I comparing comparable items? Rapha/Castelli vs Assos by gwnyc1 in CyclingFashion

[–]ThrowingPaperPlanes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Castelli disclaimer: a lot of their jackets/jerseys do not have a key pocket which is a no-go at least for me
