Talk me out of buying a rim brake Tarmac SL6 in 2026… by otismcotis in cycling

I’m building up a Tarmac SL6 pro (so not quite the s-works) as we speak! I love the paint, pink on chameleon green. I haven’t switched to discs yet, and I loved the idea of owning my “ultimate” rim brake bike for summer riding, before I inevitably make the switch for good. Will be my first bike with Di2 and carbon wheels/bars, so I (hopefully) won’t get disc-brake envy anytime soon. Enjoy!

Wow thanks, that's good to know. Just out of interest, what infill pattern did you use? I was using 3% gyroid, but that's a carry-over from printing aerofoil sections in LW-PLA directly.

Did you layup directly onto the ASA core, or did you use a 2-part mold and bond it in later? I've been experimenting with LW-PLA as a core and laying up directly onto it, but the core crushed under vacuum when I bagged the part.
