ahh good to hear, I've got a mate with a pinker looking Ultegra spec'd one who rides with S&D Wheelers (I think I recall you're TW based?)
Mudguard plans are something similar to @GrantMontie has setup on his S-Works - https://www.lfgss.com/comments/17088582/
Some of these would be neat but the pair is £75 posted... hmm...

Nah it’s the entry level comp one, it’s a nice bike - my first new bike ever I think… and first disc brake bike…
@Sig_Arlecchino yeah love the Parlee so it’s getting fixed, and maybe a decent paint job… it’ll be a slow burner though… and noted about the bung, it was only a moch up having pulled it out of the box and swapped tyres… have now cut it down a bit…
Plans for the Aethos are already afoot, swapping out the cranks, wheels, bars and stem and fitting some full mudguards

I’ve just ordered an Aethos Comp Rival AXS on cycle to work (my first new bike ever I think…) as it was heavily discounted and I’ve cracked my current frame.
Just went in to a shop to kill some time and had a look at all the Rival set-ups - I was wondering is the bar to lever junction always so janky? It looks like the hood is twice as wide as the wrapped bar - anyone solved this minor aesthetic issue?
Also had a feel of the 105 di2 levers which I think I prefer… sigh, buyers remorse looming 🤦♂️

Not caught up with this thread in a while so apologies if it’s already been mentioned - anyone used these? Are they any good? https://www.bicyclequickguard.co.uk/
I’m about to pull the trigger on my first disc road bike and looking for mudguard options - it’s either the above or get the thru axles threaded and zip tie/Velcro some SKS as below -

I'm eyeing up a bike with a Sram DUB bb (BSA 68) fitted - will a Hollowgram Si crank with a 30mm axle fit into this BB or do I need to buy something else?
Also is anyone using 12 speed but non-Sram chainrings on 12 speed AXS with the flat top chain? I've heard Rotor make some but can't find them - otherwise Praxis Buzz should work I think... any others?
Cheers in advance

I won’t be allowed to do much more than swap handlebars and tyres so the ‘can take 2x’ upgrade would have to wait for a while… I only really ride road anyway and never had a bike that can take more than a 27c tyre - Aethos can go to 32mm so will that be fine for paths and bridleways etc? 27c was, kind of…

Yeah was just looking at ordering a pair but they come in at £75 the pair posted... might try DIYing some first...
