    I guess I have even less expendable income, a pair of GP4000s II in 28mm must do it for me for now. .. BTW, they measure whopping 31mm when mounted!

    If they stole my CdF (knock on wood!) or/and I won lotto, I'd buy this one tonight, no hesitation.

    What happened to your dura ace ones?

    More importantly: why settle for less? :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,353 ✭✭✭Daroxtar


    Nice wheels. Let us know how they roll. I'm debating whether to buy a pair or hold out and save for c24s.

    The front wheel was damaged when I got knocked off the bike. Had a friend look at it but it might be beyond repair. Will need to drop it in somewhere just to see if its the case.

    I just wanted something lighter for the summer months. No point hauling around heavy 32 spoke open pros and a dyno hub when they're not needed. *cough Mick Byrne 200 cough*
    Also, damn cheaper than new DA's.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,520 ✭✭✭Alek


    1650g for 300 odd quid? Nice. They have the same spoke+rim system as my XT version (1850g), and I'm really happy with their stiffness and how they roll.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,505 ✭✭✭colm_gti


    I spent €150 on tyres today, 2 x schwalbe one for my road bike, 2 x ultremo r1's for the track bike....the funny thing is that it's my commuter that needs new tyres....

    They're the older 6700 wheels so they came in under €300.Listed €302 on CRC but I used a voucher. Just wanted a good set of wheels at the best price I could find,hence not spending the extra for the 6800's. If they're anything like my DA set I'll be a happy audaxer.:D

    Saw those on my searches. Call me fussy but the new colour on the hubs Shimano are using these days does nothing for me. Love the older silver hubs.:o

    Love the Aithein. Gets great reviews.

    So it turns out that N+1 will be a Canyon Endurace CF 8.0. 105 5800 with DT Swiss R24 wheels, albeit the 2014 model of the bike with Ritchey cockpit. Should be a nice upgrade from a Trek 1000 that's going on 10 years old! I'll be retaining that as a commuter/bad weather bike though, having put several upgrades on it over the years (105 5700 shifters & mechs, compact chainset, etc.), especially with the ability to put a rack on it.

    Incidentally, does anyone know what canyon are like for delivery times to Ireland when the bike was ordered from stock?

    Out of Interest what does it weigh?

    edit: I found it 8.8 kg , not bad despite the wheel size and disc brakes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,478 ✭✭✭rollingscone


    New saddles for the good bike and city hack respectively.

    The Selle Italia team saddle on the good bike is showing a surprising amount of wear and I've always fancied the Arione.

    I only got an arione R5 the other day should be here next week unfortunately I failed to do a bit of reading up and bought the one that's for the most flexible people. It may well be in adverts by Fri :D

    Pressed the button on a set of Ultegra 6800 pedals from PBK for €94 (10% first purchase discount inc) I currently have R550's so there'll be no discernible difference with them except they'll match the groupset now.

    I was just looking at the 2000 version earlier. Seriously considering faking my own death so I can get away with the splurge.

    Think gadetra was too busy admiring this last night to realise I was not going to provide a lead out as one of my cleats had unclipped:

    Turns out I did too. Fortunately it also turns out that I'm still pretty flexible...thinking of dropping my stem a bit more.

    It's a quality saddle and surprisingly comfortable. Plenty of room to move around and the narrow nose let's you get right down over the bars.

    As for the flexibility side of things a bit more yoga and I'll be laughing although I'll have to take up yoga first. :D

    If youre asking about protone it must have been medium - lads in B2R had no clue when large are coming out last time Ive been there but they are supposed to be available from few online places around 6th July unless something changed.

    Mixed bag of tools that I've been meaning to get, spurred on by the demise of my BBB chainbreaker.

    Parktool Brute chaintool,
    Parktool long handled pedal wrench
    Lifeline Fourth hand tool
    Campy Ultratorque BB key

    Yeah it's a medium, haven't had a chance or scales to weigh it. Wore it on the wicklow peaks sportive yesterday and it was very very comfortable, wind noise was a lot less than my current helmet and ventilation was sublime.
