    My Anywhere Mount has never slipped, but I rarely ride this Vigorelli in the rain.

    Normal clincher GP5000 are a lot easier to install than TL versions. I haven’t tried the new S TR, but they should be easier to fit than the “old” TL.

    Steel Vigorelli seatpost clamp is 33,1mm. I replaced the oem one with this Gusset clamp:

    I later installed a 33,0mm KCNC Road Lite SC7 which has a lip that has to be filed smaller to fit a 31,6mm seatpost. It’s probably designed for a thicker aluminum frame and a thinner post, but it is 9 grams lighter than the Gusset clamp!

    How about G-One Speed in 2.0”, they have a V-guard puncture protection which the 2.3” Speeds don’t have.

    Pirelli Cinturato Velo.

    GP5000TL are a really tight fit. I could not get them to seat properly on Mavic Open Pro UST rims even with ridiculous pressures. Pirelli Cinturato Velo and Schwalbe G-One Allround & Speed Evolutions were a lot easier to fit. Conti GP5000 standard non tubeless were an easy fit also. I would not want to use a tubeless tyre with a tube because they usually do have thicker sidewalls and with a tube will most probably roll slower and be more uncomfortable than a comparable standard clincher. On the other hand Pirelli claims that Cinturato can be used with a tube or tubeless...

    I have narrow shoulders so I have a 40cm bar. It’s just wide enough that my shoulders fit between the drops, so maybe slightly wider than the traditionally recommended width.

    Edit: I had a 42cm bar before these and I think they both have positives and negatives. Wider is of course more stable and gives more leverage which is good for smashing up hill on a heavy gear ratio.

    I’d recommend the Cinelli Dinamo bars, very light for an alloy bar and not too expensive. I have one, I did get some creaking with my X2 stem on rough riding, an X4 stem fixed that. The 2 bolt face plate just can’t grab the bars as strong.

    That is actually cheap enough to try. I was only aware of the Jtek Double Control and Problem Solvers Brake Cable Doubler, but they cost about ten times more.
