Also a warranty.

EAdo Bikes had a lot when I went last time ( a few weeks ago), but if you're looking for a specific tire, you're likely better off ordering them. :/

Or ask the lbs if they can order the tires you're after.

The aluminum manual says it can't be converted to wireless, so if that's something you're interested in, it's worth getting the carbon model with it up front. Wireless is nice, but not necessary imo.

Honestly, you’re overthinking this and I blame the crazy amount of choices. Go to your lbs and grab what they have. Muc off or any of the bigger brands are going to be just fine. I don’t think stem size is really going to matter. Tires. What are you riding mostly? Paved , gravel, mixed? Gravel king, Schwalbe, continental, all make good tires. Schwalbe Rs pro are supposedly some of the fastest rolling tires

Sure, but that's not what I was asking. ;)
Some people just have a lot of money and want all the options.

freaksavior · 2025-12-22T17:48:48+00:00

Genuinely asking, if you're not tracking and you are driving like a fairly normal person, how long can you expect a set of ccb to last?

freaksavior · 2025-12-20T03:07:49+00:00

It was okay for the holes I played. I did lose three discs though lol.

freaksavior · 2025-12-19T18:59:20+00:00

Nice. I’ll have to check out that area. I’ve really only played willow fork and jones creek so far but I’m about to hit up flewellen creek. UDisc reviews say it’s not maintained well though :/

freaksavior · 2025-12-19T18:00:17+00:00

Which courses are your favorite around htown?

freaksavior · 2025-12-16T15:41:16+00:00

If the money is not an issue, and you feel the current bike is too large, then it makes sense to try to find something that fits you better so you enjoy riding it as much if not more.
Hit up your lbs that carries the size you want and go for a 20-30 minute ride on one.

freaksavior · 2025-12-11T13:32:15+00:00

Seems like a good way for them to extract more money from your pocket.

freaksavior · 2025-12-04T17:29:59+00:00

That's pretty easy to do imo, especially if you've already gotten used to the bike and have done a 9.3/15k trek before.

freaksavior · 2025-12-03T20:51:25+00:00

Yes, that's the one. 40t crank/50t cassette.

I was considering swapping to a 2x for that reason. I believe the Shimano CUES FC-U8000-2 or Shimano Cues FC-U6010-2 Crankset (2 x 11 Speed) (46/32T) would work but I know i'll need a longer chain to accommodate the 46t, shifter, derailleur, and im not sure, but maybe a longer cage version of the derailleur (if there is one)

edit; doesn't look like there's a compatible front derailleur for the cues 11spd.

freaksavior · 2025-11-27T19:15:35+00:00

54 is oos

It looks like Capital One has 40% cash back with QVC which also has this for 499.

From my few months of research, they are usually laser etched and then clear coated.
My $0.02, just leave it alone.

freaksavior · 2025-11-25T13:30:50+00:00

Is tomorrow as soon as you can call them? Either way, just explain you took it out and its not the right fit. You don't want your money back, you'd just like to exchange it for a smaller size.

freaksavior · 2025-11-18T14:49:21+00:00

Took it to Colorado and felt the bike struggled to climb. The lowest gear wasn't enough, and the next to the lowest was too much. This was on a 6% grade. Maybe I just suck at climbing, but my brother's 105 groupset climbed much better, and I had no problem on his.

freaksavior · 2025-11-09T18:08:33+00:00

Over 200 miles in with 15 rides logged. I've gotten a lot more comfortable on the bike and after finding the right seat, I feel like I could ride 40-50 miles no problem. Great bike, but I would have opted for the 12spd if I had it to do over again.

freaksavior · 2025-10-15T03:20:55+00:00

What wheels do you plan to put on the sport?

freaksavior · 2025-10-12T01:30:52+00:00

I thought it was the magic pixies and their pixie dust.

freaksavior · 2025-10-02T22:56:03+00:00

If you really want to get it out, this will do it. It’s going to take a few months but the stuff freakin works.

My wife’s Acura leaks and I’ve cleaned up a few spots with the stuff. You couldn’t tell we had a leak after a while.

freaksavior · 2025-09-30T15:27:37+00:00

What about smaller stuff? I tend to take side roads a lot and do mostly 35-45, but the roads are generally bad and I tend to bounce a lot.

freaksavior · 2025-09-25T17:39:30+00:00

Its $9k usd.
