Aeron TR

Oh lawd that tape looks comfy

Much nicer job on the taping than I did, its kinda hard cus theres no stretch, worth it though, the new position looks sweet too, good going

Thanks mate,
Went for a bit of a ride today, tape is indeed comfy and position means no more sore Thenars!

I've always wondered that the different regions on my palm where called! :)

Hipster photo time.

Got so fucking rained on today (went to Stevenage and back) but after that it was a beaut of a day

needs either a thomson stem or seat post

Looking good. How are you finding it?

Is the chain long enough, or is it just me?

I suspected not, and asked a mechanic when at LBS and he said its ideal length...
love the ride and the fit... did a 120k ride yesterday and it felt fine, a lot less tiring than anything else I've taken on similar distances...

chain looks fine, if you put it into the smallest sprocket and biggest front ring, the derailleur should point down 90°. It looks like you have it near the biggest sprocket in that photo.

Ah, well spotted.

My fizik tape got wet today and started sliding around I the bars, does
Anyone have any experience with that? How where yours
Apolloxl?

is absolutely fine... assuming the wrap is correct and the sticky strip touches the bars....

both are true in my case, I did have to unwrap them once which will have been where the problem lies, sigh, thats another £10 ill have to waste.

All I can say is don't be afraid to pull it tight.

Never happened to me.

I've bought 4 roles of fizik (x3 softtouch, x1 white), rewrapped three of them at least twice each. All still fine. i really don't think you need to buy another set. It's very reusable tape.

Remember you need to pull is as hard and tight as possible, working bit by bit. i usually try to get the majority of the sticky section on the bars, but obviously focusing on neatness/evenness of wrapping.

This, and this, pull that shit tight!

I reckon you got a duff packet I have rewrapped it before and it was fine.

Yeah, maybe, it was really unsticky when I took the protective strip off. I might rewrap with the same tape today, see how it goes. But thanks for the help.

bit of stem porn for the Aeron... sizing slightly down from 130mm to 120mm

Apollom not Apolloxl?

Slam that stem.

Apollo-xl-but-not-as-xl-as-the-previous-owner-of-the-groupset

he was pushing 6'8" from memory

yeah but his frame was 56 no?

It was, yeah..The Cannondale R1000...

Either way, this stem (actually 120mm, so not a big change) will put me into a more comfortable riding position. Reach was a bit too long with the Easton 130mm

final touch to finish off the Ultegra group
