SSCX Only!

Fantastic.

looks really great!

Bar angle?

yeh bar angle seems a bit off. If the bar has too much reach look for planet x bars. They got 70mm reach.

rly nice othervice!

meh, i'll be bringing it back a bit and putting the hoods forward, 3t ergo nova have 77 reach

If those hoods work where they are you could sort the bar angle with a shorter 0* stem lower on the steerer.

I have played with the TRP Hylex, was very impressed with the hood shape being very comfortable, and surprisingly easy to modulated from the hood.

Now seriously tempted on getting them on the new bike over the TRP Spyres.

Niall, loverly looking bike.

Had you just paid a visit to thr bike coop?

Thank you very much, it's finished now - will post a nice pic soon!! Ha, wish i was just a visitor - I work there. Breaking the rules a little by going with planet x, but hey! If genesis did their day one cheaper i would have been tempted...

Haven't seen many of them on this thread..!

I cannot get over how ugly those hood are, yet they're so comfortable.

I chickened out at the last moment and got hayes cx5 for my sscx, as I thought I'd put gears and gear levers on it. Now most likely going to get retroshift, so regretting not giving those a shot.

Buying a Specialized Tricross ss tomorrow hopefully. I am looking forward to having fat tyres and brakes! It's just going to be a all weather commuter and a bit of fun.

Is it worth getting some carbon kenesis forks for my day one disc to save half a kilo weight?

Meh.

If you want to go faster, lose some tubs.

Or upgrade your brakes.

Felt the weight saving was worth it on my Pompetamine. Finish on mine was piss poor though. Lacquer had been put straight on a gloss finish so flaked of pretty easily. Currently in the process of sanding them back for a respray.

I thought tubs were recommended for CX?

I meant the stuff between your intestine and skin.

I knew that.

So I am going to save my cash for a gastric band then- cheers Ed
