• Took the Jan Janssen on a 60k testride today and I‘m really happy how it turned out. Very stable and stiff but lively at the same time. I‘m quite impressed with the shifting Performance of the Tiagra, feels very similar to 105 and even Ultegra. Braking performance on the other hand is pretty shite but I guess that‘s mostly due to the cheap og brake pads.

    They're all the same when new because the geometry is the same, the cheap ones are just heavier and wear out quicker.

    There's a reason why pads on nice brakes are slotted into separate metal holders. Easy upgrade if you feel like doing it now, definitely get proper ones when the originals are worn out.

  • Looks fantastic. Very classy with the cosmics. What's with the pedals though?

  • That bartape looks nice, what is it?

  • Looks like an awesome ride!

    how old are the cosmics? Could be the anodizing hasn’t worn off completely which would also affect stopping power? I guess that will rectify itself as you keep using them :)
