from what i've heard yes, next year. all i've heard is that it will allow mix and match, but not exactly sure what that will entail. i didn't specifically hear it is 12s, that is just my guess, kinda doubt it will be 13s. no udh required.

they have terrible wet grip

that'd be dope

i don't think it is stupid i do the same stuff and the same problems

how well would you say that worked? i'm considering it but really would like shifting to be better than mechanical xtr if i do so.

i am pleased they finally seem to have solved the stem length dilemma. not sure i can justify buying it given my sl7 but do want. still kind of amazing the price difference between spesh/trek and canyon, like -4k for the same spec and apparently better aerodynamics.

tbf a lot less ridiculous than his leadville bike

lachlan's is even less traditional. has anyone posted chasethebiker's setup? with the hed near-disc wheel and all the tri bits?

i do think the saddle slammed forward/nose down is the most comfortable way to ride with a flat back, but i think unless you are light, are pushing a lot of power, and/or have great upper body endurance the arm/shoulder/hand pressure has to be painful after a while.

the gramm tourpacking bags are so cool. the fern? frames as well.

chad = "alpha male" but tongue-in-cheek

interesting about girona but i guess not altogether surprising. don't have to be empathetic to be an athlete and also the younger you are...

that is sick

i wonder how much money shimano lost by blocking this

seen on reddit

g-one speed is really a road tire though? or at least a mostly road tire. but sure

they test pretty slow despite feeling reasonably fast. the older pacestar version i think was better.

i've found the spesh mondo to be a good replacement

didn't hope advertise the rx4 as better than shimano calipers because the pistons have better retraction and thus less rub? funny

very nice

tpu is utter garbage i have no idea why/how anyone is still selling them. do none of these manufacturers do any testing?

you can use the 12s chains on 11s w/o issue i think. but i am in the same boat. the 11s chains also test a bit faster and i just feel bad buying things i don't "need"

yea i live in the us so have to ship them a long way away, just very frustrating.

@andyp diablo is maybe from 2020, strada i think was 21. even if they do fix it i think i will probably sell it as being stuck out at night with an unreliable light is just not really a risk i am willing to take.

i've had a flare and blaze which have been reliable enough.

so i've heard, but i don't feel great relying on lights (3 units and two models) which have had the same failure mode. surprised if i'm the only one?

anybody had trouble with exposure lights turning off when rattled? i have a strada and a diablo and this evening the diablo shut off 3 times (could turn it back on after first two times) when i was going over rough pavement. had to get the wife to come pick me up. the strada has had similar trouble and i can now hear something rattling around inside it.

this has happened once before when i hit a pothole going downhill with an older strada i had.

i have to say that this has pretty much destroyed my faith in the lights which i feel like are marketed as being exceptionally durable/reliable.

looks like force d2 to me. plus how many people have a srm and rival.

the crux is great but no mounts = not a winter bike imo. it is a pretty soft frame and generally feels great to ride.

yea i think it is a fine solution as well, like hippy says you just have to put it tight in there. you can also rig it up in the top tube near the heat tube where gravity isn't working against you. a bit more of a pita to access though as you'll really need to take the fork out.
