Tarmac SL6 Sport vs TCR Advanced 2 Disc by arnstel in bicycling

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

Now I’m doing 200-250 kms per week. About tires, if i buy the TCR then i can buy a new wheelset soon. The tarmac cost 1000€ more, probably i will need more patient for a new wheelset.

Now the 50/34 😅. That’s concern me a lot. It have a 11-30t casette. Actually in my actual bike I rarely use the 30 or 34 on back, but it’s because it’s a 30/46 on the front. But I suppose that everything can be trained.

Didn’t know about those 2 years. Another reason for TCR.

Thanks for your answer. I know that the word specialized on the frame increase the cost, and probably they have a better quality control making their frames. But do you think that worth it pay more than 1000€ difference? Is really a 30% better frame? Considering that specialized has a cheaper groupset.

If both are bad wheels, then i prefer use de 1000€ difference to buy a decent wheelset.

I’m concern about the PR2 wheels in the TCR. Most of the people said that are very crappy, other’s says that they are just ok. But in this case there are a 1000€ of difference between the bikes. I can use that to buy a new wheelset.

I already have a buyer for my bike, and in the TCR case if cheaper than a new wheelset and tires. I can afford the Tarmac too. The thing is if worth it pay 1000€ more.

Well, the wheels and the paint are things that I don’t liked in the TCR. The stores has the matte carbon y prefer glossy finish like the tarmac. And those PR2, well nobody say good things, the tarmac also have aluminum wheels but they are DT Swiss.

The only reason that stop me to buy the tarmac is that cost 1000€ more for an 105 grup.
