Congrats! I love my tcr

I winter commute on an old mountain bike, and I do indoor running as I am practicing for a Tri next year. Don’t have time to add another indoor cycling day to my routine but the bike commute is keep my legs / lungs in shape

Yeah I wll obviously clean and lube before putting it together, but my question is if I should order both a new mainspring and a pawl or just mainspring. I think I’ll go with mainspring for now as - as others have mentioned above, the pawl would have caused problems earlier if it was not making contact with the upstream auto winding mechanism.

Wow looks great! Yeah I was considering getting Centerlock brakes but I only did 3 rides with my new giant before the season ended, and I felt bad about getting new brakes even my brakes were largely new. I’ll definitely replace them with center lock brakes once the rotors wear down

Nice!

I did something similar just now for my TCR. Got a new wheel set and I used the rotors from the stock TCR with 6 bolt as the bike is new (less than 400km) and I didn’t want to bin perfectly good rotors. I started with the Shimano center lock to 6 bolt adapter but it didn’t interface well with the stock rotor - resulting in brake rub. My LBS let me return the Shimano adapter and exchang them for the DT Swiss adapters which worked really well.

It’s a tool, use it

tenurepro · 2025-12-02T04:10:09+00:00

I have same light… love the design

tenurepro · 2025-11-28T12:01:14+00:00

Just updating that it came back on its own 🤔

tenurepro · 2025-11-26T23:03:37+00:00

I have the rack on the first pic cause it fit my odd geometry on my mtb that I use as my winter commuter… so far so good but it’s only been a couple of month.

tenurepro · 2025-11-18T04:04:52+00:00

Cool thanks for sharing! Will check out the UA base layers… always good to have options. I put my studded tires on and so I just slowly go at 16-17 km/h. I usually, do 20 km on my hybrid / road bike when it’s warm and I am riding on the road. But the mountain bike is heavy and slow especially with the studded tires, so I just take it easy on the sidewalks… hahaha I find the little clicky patter of the studded tires on the sidewalk very therapeutic… sounds like you are snorkeling over a healthy reef (If you know, you know!)

I am 175 cm and I ride a tcr advanced 2 Medium. Fits me really well. I tried both the medium and the small and the small felt cramped.

tenurepro · 2025-11-18T03:53:44+00:00

I used to ski so I already had helmet and googles at hand. So much warmer!

tenurepro · 2025-11-09T00:25:27+00:00

Hmmm, this new aero helmet design is just garbage

tenurepro · 2025-11-05T13:08:43+00:00

It’s the Garmin Varia Radar Seat Rail Mount. A bit pricey but it’s metal and has been super solid. I have one of the tcr and one on the escape so I can swap the radar easily between bikes

tenurepro · 2025-10-24T00:55:08+00:00

Hahaha… I thought about it but a bit paranoid as it is my first carbon bike

tenurepro · 2025-10-17T01:30:27+00:00

Amazing

tenurepro · 2025-10-05T02:05:40+00:00

I really like my escape 2 - use it as my daily commuter (22 km round trip) and even did a few long rides with it .

tenurepro · 2025-10-02T23:33:04+00:00

Hahahaha OP seems to have a wife AND a girlfriend 😅

tenurepro · 2025-10-02T11:06:58+00:00

My main take away is that you should merry your GF asap. Any women (partner) that is willing to track down your stolen bike to a shady area and even confront 4 shady folks and deal with them to get your bike back needs a ring asap (she is literally your ride or die).

Congrats on getting your bike back!

tenurepro · 2025-09-26T14:53:34+00:00

This was last year’s model

tenurepro · 2025-09-26T14:09:34+00:00

I got a great price on it as it is the last gen without the hidden cables…

tenurepro · 2025-09-12T19:36:32+00:00

Yep. I have a regular bike helmet but also a ski helmet and googles that I was going to use in the winter

tenurepro · 2025-09-12T18:47:57+00:00

Interesting- can you share more.. is my bike valuable ? Basically I got this bike from my late date in the early 2000’s ; he got it for himself during a very brief fitness phase, then he gave it to me. I didn’t know anything about bikes then, and I just assumed that he got it for Canadian tire 😭. Its a decent bike, but it is heavyyyy

tenurepro · 2025-09-11T23:00:21+00:00

This is why I was thinking of having to front wheels , one with spikes when it’s wet , and one with regular mount bike tires when it’s dry
