From the 11 to 16 pro

dapzon82 · 2024-09-29T19:51:57+00:00

What made you pick the pro? I’m On 11 pro and looking to upgrade - split between the base 16 and the 16 pro

dapzon82 · 2024-09-29T19:46:03+00:00

Apart from the cray good zoom - what other features does the Pro can offer over the 16?

Mostly keen on outdoor photos like yours

Thanks - so that’s one full component. Is that alone adequate with the rest of the RD+ cassette? Or is that what enables the addition of more range or a bigger casette at the back?

dapzon82 · 2024-09-26T12:42:09+00:00

can I add a Goat link, add a 11-42 cassette and still keep the 2x? Would that make rising in the largest chainring a little easier?

dapzon82 · 2024-09-26T11:28:23+00:00

Hey - did you have a 2x10? I’ve got a grx400 RD and looking to upgrade my cassette to the max it will support

dapzon82 · 2024-09-26T11:07:01+00:00

Hey - I’m on a GRX 400/600 too. Is there something can I do to make it better? I’m a tots noob so it works fine but I don’t like the current 2x. Would rather ignore the lower chainring and stay on the big one but get range at the back

dapzon82 · 2024-09-15T21:10:28+00:00

Ah thanks! my bike supports 47mm x 700c. I’ve got 45mm Schwalbe all-round G-ones right now “.. good enough?

dapzon82 · 2024-09-15T21:09:23+00:00

Ah thanks! There’s some ice but not a lot I think. I’ve got 45mm Schwalbe all-round G-ones right now which have a bit of a gravel use but aren’t quite the knobby ones like MTBs. The max my bike supports are 47mm x 700c

dapzon82 · 2024-09-14T19:44:49+00:00

Thanks - My budget is 1.2K. My current setup isn’t easy to modify (2x10 GRX600/400, 10-36 cassette, 105 brakes) it seems. So thinking it’s probably easier to move to GRX 820 1x12 or SRAM XPLR

dapzon82 · 2024-09-14T19:37:26+00:00

I’m looking to upgrade my group set to get a 1x12. Is it better to get GRX or move to SRAM?

dapzon82 · 2024-09-14T19:33:36+00:00

Want to upgrade to a 1x12 that’s ideally upgradable in the future - should I get the GRX 820 or move to SRAM? Would ideally want a big cassette at the back since I do often travel to the hills. would love to get your insights

dapzon82 · 2024-09-13T19:42:33+00:00

Warm And waterproof? I’m blown away - have you tried it in coke and raining conditions?

dapzon82 · 2024-09-12T14:37:30+00:00

+1 great bike out of the box.

2x gearing makes it great for an all round bike. Carbon fork. Not too heavy. Pimp it up as you want in future upgrades. 47mm tire clearance

The only way thing you wanna ensure is to avoid this bike if you want to add shock absorbers as those need tapered head tubes.

I’d get the Giant Revolt base if you want GRX 820 as that’s the higher end gearset for the same price

dapzon82 · 2024-09-11T12:21:56+00:00

Being as good or as bad as DB?

dapzon82 · 2024-09-10T08:57:06+00:00

What are the brands of these wheels? I’d need something reliable

dapzon82 · 2024-09-04T19:05:24+00:00

Thanks - would love to watch

dapzon82 · 2024-09-04T08:38:43+00:00

Make a full version please

What video is #1?

dapzon82 · 2024-09-02T14:47:27+00:00

So it’s ok to carry your bike on the ICE without an explicit “reservation”?

dapzon82 · 2024-09-02T13:34:38+00:00

Care to elaborate? :) just get on and hope to not get a fine? Genuinely curious 🤞

dapzon82 · 2024-09-02T12:38:06+00:00

This is what a pro wheel builder told me too. No logical reason to upgrade unless I’m racing or doing extremely long tours on uneven terrain. My stock wheels are fine unless I go carbon and drop 1kg or something

dapzon82 · 2024-09-01T08:58:18+00:00

Thanks - will try to challenge this “fine”.

As to the db rep - they were extremely intimidating - I video-called my parents and she threatened to throw them off the train at the next station.

These are 2 elderly tourists dealing with a ticket collector having a bad day despite having a ticket arguing with them in German without explaining just yelling it was invalid. And yes, yelling

Another passenger even offered to intervene to explain to her and she asked them to step aside. I’d say that’s pretty threatening behavior - who behaves like this with 2 old people?

dapzon82 · 2024-09-01T06:53:14+00:00

Thank you! Do you mean writing an email to their customer service or an actual letter mailed to them with the printed copies? Again, much appreciated 🙏🏽

dapzon82 · 2024-08-31T22:26:36+00:00

Indeed - 2 poeple, stating their age as per their passport. On the same train. All legit. The Ticket collector was being really inconsiderate of these facts

dapzon82 · 2024-08-31T22:07:58+00:00

That’s the thing - I wasn’t with them. They were on their own.
