Swapped out the shimano wheel set that came with the shimano 105 set up. I put 32mm Conti 5000s TL and it they are super wide lol, I’m coming from running 28mms on a something like 19mm internal aluminium alloy wheel. I think the farsports are like 24 internal width and with the conti it makes them ever so slightly ‘bulbous’. But riding on uk roads with 32mm tyres negates the aero penalty! Didn’t go carbon spokes as I feared the ride would be too harsh. Only rode it from the bike shop and there are almost 0 vibrations going through the handlebar.
Also, this is my first time going to a race geometry and 37cm wide bars (flared). Getting out the saddle feels so weird but I guess it takes time adjusting….

Looking sharp! Great choice on the wheels, too. I wanted to do the same thing with my Force AXS Aeroad, but the Farsports were just a bit too much, and I ended up going with Yoeleo Sat C50/60 of a very similar spec, as the price was way easier for me to swallow.
Enjoy the bike!
Fucking sick.
i just regretted buying the LUX world cup, this looks so nice…. i would just have had to add 400.. or 700
anyway i really dont have acess to roads for this kind of bike
A white Aeroad just seems right. Those wheels are beautiful.
