Agreed, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they did a disc only line up

Looks like we’ll be seeing tommy windmills on a cervelo R5 at le Tour 2019

I’m wondering if cervelo will be updating their S5 and P5 for next season too?

Sooooo noice GLWS

What about the rotor Rex power meters? 110/60 bcd

Is electronic shifting really essential on a 1x adventure?

Apologies if a repost, but I really like the look of the steel Rondo Rutt ST. Like the carbon model it can fit either 700 or 650b wheels

Wow canti brakes! What year was that 2016?

Amazing! I’d love a link if you have one

Without the BBRight bollox

On that note, the general public cannot buy a rim braked version of Sagan’s roubaix.

I was really impressed with that factor. Isn’t it the same frameset that they use in grand tour mountain stages?

It seems pretty baffling why it’s launched without EPS... maybe it’s just a coincidence that it’s the day after a Shimano team won roubaix again

Despite atrocious weather, I took the trek out for HOTN. On most off-road sections I was sliding all over the shop, but it was a hoot! However if I do any more I took will need to invest in a CX as larger nobly tires simply won’t fit. Toward the end of the route, the gears were all over the place. But the CX 1x never missed a beat. So insurprisingy the CX wins round two

Kwaremont.

Lol no amount of wapping high street gets you prepared. Losing a spoke is quite extreme! What psi were you running?

Good luck all! I look forward to hearing how you get on, as I think I’ll try P-R in 2019

Not tubeless anyhowz. There is the Specialized roubaix pro 2bliss which is a 31c but I’ve heard bad things

Lol the silver r7000 is straight to anti as as far as in concerned. The silvers don’t even seem to be consistent

Yeah I thought about a clutch setup for 1x and the Ultegra certainly would have reduced costs as I imagine i could keep the br505 shifters.... which I hate as they look like dildos

Very much so! I didn’t have any chain drops (dan did once on the rossin) but I definitely could have done with more spring tension in the rear deraileaur. I might well swap in an r7000 in 6 months, cos they look the shit

Also a picture from the ronde heading up the Paterberg

Yeah good idea but sigma suggests that only the smaller 32 is not tubeless compatible. Also the ‘tan’ sidewalls are brown, which looks hideous to my eyes

Haha the legendary skid whip endo!

Jim was involved with both our builds :-)

As a stupid reprise, me (trek) and the CX will be riding Waffa HOTN on Sunday. The gravel will be a different challenge at together, and I do no expect my tires to last...

In fact they cannot even withstand Regent’s Park! Aside from schwalbe g-one tires, can anyone recommend some good 30-32 tubeless tires?

So alldone and dusted! What an epic ride! A few footnotes.

Gearing was fine, but nobody got up the muur due to fallers in front

All bikes survived and actually were among the fastest on the flat/descent cobble sectors!

The cx had a tubeless setup so psi was dropped to 25psi! It was incredible up the bergs. The other two bikes ran on 55psi

We all rode together until the final 35 km and then went full gas to see who was really the strongest. This route exactly follows the final 35km of the pro race. The CX dropped the road bikes immediately on Kruisberg and the trek got at gap on the rossin on hotond. We all stayed separate over the Kwaremont and Paterberg, but on the 12km smash to the finish, the CX ran out of gears. The trek overtook with 1 km to go, with the CX hanging on to second. And the rossin a couple minutes back. All in all a superb ride.

A quick look on the gearing calculator suggests that a drop in cadence to 81 from 90 gives the same result. And here they are installed
