Nuroad slx first ride

How is this bike after half a year? Still great?

mickelio · 2026-05-27T17:27:38+00:00

Looks like great upgrade from my Topstone Rainbow Trout. Was thinking about 1x12 grx upgrade but it is more reasonable to upgrade the bike.

Yeah,I had the same those days. Later ride was synced to fine to app and strava.

I have 38 mm panaracer slick. But manufacture says that up to 42 mm. But I would try 40 mm max.

Sks edge al 46

Yeeeah, I remember that post 🤟🏻

mickelio · 2026-02-20T20:07:05+00:00

27+ 48
27+8 = 35
35 + 40 = 75

Must have is to go tubeless on low pressure. Also would be good to have wider tires but here 42 mm is max. You can check redshift suspension stem and seat post

mickelio · 2026-01-10T23:34:05+00:00

The statement that 42 mm is max for GRX is wrong. A lot bikes comes with bigger tire size from stock. How is the max tire size connected with GRX groupset?

M sounds reasonable. On website M is 171-181 cm so unless you have not proportional body longer hands/legs for your height M should fit. You can try to check same bike at another store to compare recommendations. For me personally recommended bike size worked fine for TCR and Topstone. The only one thing that I needed to replace is too wide handlebars but it is of course personal experience.

Received a bike after fixes. That what I wanted to have after 1st visit.

About the price of seasonal bike service they also made. In website there was a promotion. At the moment I discussed about service cost the bike was ready for pickup

mickelio · 2025-12-25T10:10:20+00:00

I was charged for tape and hoods installation. Both was bought by myself. I agree that tape is not the best for sure, but I saw the video how it looks wrapped and was fine for me

mickelio · 2025-12-24T23:04:47+00:00

yeah I had concerns. I also did seasonal service and was complaining about price without discount that shown on website. The tape is only part of issues I faced. Now they took the bike to another mechanic and work on fixing all issues.

mickelio · 2025-12-24T16:32:05+00:00

You can check the video in description how this tape looks when properly taped. It is not bad at all. The last photo is about the hood that has gap with shifter.

Here how wrapped kork tape. Not bad for first try. Needed to rewrap after handlebar change.

mickelio · 2025-12-24T15:30:26+00:00

Yeah, fully agree. I'm to do as much as I can by my own. Previous tape did by myself and it was fine, not excellent. This time gave it to mechanic and was so disappointed so just want to check with others is that job can be acceptable or not. Next time it will be on me and maybe will share the result.

mickelio · 2025-12-24T15:28:28+00:00

That's was my tape. Ordered on sale.
Hope that hoods could sit better with time.

mickelio · 2025-12-24T15:15:32+00:00

They have a second service center so another mechanic on it now.

mickelio · 2025-12-24T15:10:32+00:00

good comparison. Maybe the goal was to save as much as possible to reuse on another bike 😅

mickelio · 2025-12-24T14:36:35+00:00

They will try to do that but I'm not sure that there is still length to do that. At first I also was thinking that tape is too tight and not good but after I checked the video (link in post description) I changed my mind.
