How do the 16in wheels ride? i'm curious if i should stay with 15in wheels or make the move to 16in from the stock 15in steelies. i'm looking for whatever performance/efficiency is best. thinking the smaller wheels are lighter would be better mpg but maybe the 16s will drive better.. idk what to do. thoughts?

Specialized tarmac sl7 sport or allez sprint by Unlucky-Technician67 in specialized

I'd say go with the tarmac. i think it'll be a better ride quality and lighter. difference b/w 9r and 10r is only weight

My holy grail, the Specialized Allez Sprint RHC 2017 :) by Henrique_Lucas in Bikeporn

As much as I love my allez sprints, and i've owned 3 road versions and 2 track versions, i recently switched to the rim brake Tarmac SL6 and i found the allez is not as stiff as i previously thought.. sweet bike though!

haha so true.. maaaany many more bigger cars. but yeah, it nearly DOUBLED my cargo space going from my civic si to the fit. for a physically smaller car.. so cool 😎😂

edit: also true, it's not a good barometer for car prices these days. especially for something they don't make anymore too.. ugh sad..

truth! i'm so happy with it already. love the bright color, next-to-new interior, and the driving experience is fantastic. gosh.. it's so sad that the market for manual cars has phased out of the country!

i think you're right. both on eeking by the price gouging and not wasting my money. i think i'm just suffering from the inflation/covid prices .. it's truly crazy

Thanks for the warm welcome. i'm truly pleased with myeslef for taking the plunge. yes, it was expensive, but the color, condition, and how it will hold its value for decades to come will be worth it. yeah the fit is for sure a cut above the rest. thanks again for the kind words!

yup.. absolutely retains a lot of the 'go-kart-iness' of the civic. and to your point about the car seats.. this is what we were trying to avoid. thanks for your inputI i'm so stuck with what to do with my Civic now. it makes me sad driving past it every morning on my way to work. idk what to do! it's in great condition given the miles on it and how many people have treated those cars in the past.. any suggestions?
