you can also try riding slower to prevent the build up of sweat

ahh thats rank

both of my exchanges have been right after some kind of sale and it has taken 1-2 weeks for rapha to send my new item after receiving old

tl;dr: 2 weeks

this is interesting. Do I need a special tool to switch out the spider? my first bike I havent put together myself so the inner workings remain kind of a mystery (hydraulics, press in bbs)

welcome back. Looks great! weight?

dang thats irritating! ive done about 5 hours with mine now without bottle going airborne yet

its the road rake fork and road head angle to match, that leads to a gap. But as a happy owner of a caad road I do belive it is great to ride!

Wait a minute are you saying it is possible to put spiderrings on the cheap si cranks that 105 caad12 has?

I was under the impression the 110 5 arm spider is part of the cranks

But yeah from what ive gathered upgrading to force/3d bb30 would be solely for looks. Red/3d+ for weight as well

More like solid gram em i rite he he

Those are 740g with rings

yea, thats the hard part! Only done shorter rides so far, so the stem angle and length is still TBD

also need to install smp composit. Just got 2nd hand from italy via ebay

better pic

get 23mm wide?

Also the ride is quite different compared to my orlo. Not strictly better in every way but a lot stiffer and racier

without tape. Dunno if they have their 1650 without 771 772 qr adapters, which would be quite silly.

havent weighed either. I'd guess this is 1-1,5kg less (around 8 vs 9ish). The bigger difference is the riding position. I have the bars set up 5cm lower and few cm further here.

got my carbon wheels now. A bit over claimed weight of 1650 +-30 as they were 1710 measured. Quite happy with them anyways!

..and switching the Si chainset to force22 only saves you 30g (690 vs 720) so it isnt worth it imo if unless you are going for matching sram groupset.

force22 has long enough spindle but red as "true bb30" crank wont, if I've done my research correctly.

mine was on 13th from seller "attack-on-e*bay (50452 )"

no tracking, just came in an oversize letter.

these xxx lite bottle cages arrived yesterday. 20 days from making the order. 17g per cage. Ordered 3 and one of them was a little off (bottle kept wobbling)

feel quite solid

vcls or a normal one?

link?
