I really really really wanted one of these new plugs. I was weirdly hyped when they announced them. I am riding a 2015 charge plug 5 (the tange prestige) and already threw loads of money on it to pimp it up. I just love this bike so much. I replaced it like two times but always came back to it. It just feels so right for me on the (g)road. Carried me around quite some places around the world already.
The minor downsides:
Tyre clearance 700c x 38 / 650b x 42 (I want moar)
No third bottle cage
Damn boring paint job
Slightly older standards: QR, 1 1/8th straight head tube
The new version would have given me all that afaik.
Yeah depends on tyre and rim. I had WTB Horizons (47 / slicks) on a more narrow rim in there and WTB Resolutes (42 / knobby) on really wide mtb rims. Both worked but I felt way more comforatble on the latter in terms of clearance.
