Colm89’s Bike Stable - Genesis Volare 931 / Boardman TT / Canyon Stoic

First ride down, didn’t fall apart! It is very fast!

It will be faster in the smallest cog, thats a fact

Will try going up a gear every time I ride it

When are you sorting the chainset?

As in, getting dura ace or changing to proper chainrings?

Why not both?

Cranks are 4iiii precision pro compact, which were the only ones in my desired crank length in stock in the UK when I was in the market for a panic buy to play lockdown zwift

I thought people would be more upset by the fwe stem tbh

get the 7900 cranks, they will work with NDS 105 crank powermeter (unless its both sides) and only take drive side pictures so no1 will notice

Ha ha ha, good idea, but my cranks is left and right power

Measuring power is ultimately pointless so flog the dodgy PM and get some proper DA cranks on there.

or a new bike

What about the extra squiggly line on my strava though?

If you need that to feel good ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Well, the numbers it produces don’t make me feel better

Good shout, I have some stem bolts I’ve been looking for a reason to use!

Now this sounds like a project I can get behind.

It's begging for FC-9000 cranks!

The brass barrel adjuster vs gold chain is proper nice.

I do think I need a gold chain on my Ritchey now.

Deffo sort the cranks. 4iiii might swap the sensors onto 9000 arms if you asked nicely.

Is that a DA 9000 FD? I have R7000 cranks and I noticed a big improvement in shifting when I changed from an old gen 5800 to a R8000 mech. This may all be marketing bullshit but I believe the ring spacing on the latest Shimano is different. Or it might just be that the latest mech's are infinitely easier to setup.

TLDR - nice bike, get DA 9000 cranks.

Haha no it’s a 7900 mech, everything except cranks are 7900. It was shifting up and down like a dream yesterday.

It would look killer with 7900 cranks but them things are going up in price over at t'bay.

This is how I justified my 9000 cranks. They are an investment piece

Lol, the 4iiii cranks are staying. Wheels will be for sale though, I feel anxious riding around on tubs.
