I actually have those Reserve wheels on my tarmac SL7. They’re semi hookless and if you run them at 80 psi (5.516 bars) there are wonderful wheel in wind and downhill.
There running tt tr not the s
Reserve 57|64 Turbulent Aero are fantastic. Been using em for a year now.
I'm still riding tubs, 19mm Conti Competition, running at 120psi. I wouldn't rely on anything else downhill, on sharp bends, or poor surfaces. As for Clik valves being easy to use? Anyone finding Presta difficult has bigger issues to contend with.
3:34 you wanted some that you could Truss*
Crazy you missed that
Correct. Aeroad is a boring choice. So boring, I fall asleep while
Communism is everyone's enemy until it starts offering cheap road bikes…
🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Conti GP5000 STR in 32mm for me
I moved all my bikes to Clik valves, and I absolutely fell in love, until… they started clogging with sealant and getting stuck open (leaking air). Relying only on a spring to close the valve is inadequate on tubeless wheels. It’s too bad, because they’re otherwise brilliant. If you’re not running tubeless… 👍🏼
I ride gp5000 tr in 30mm in a canyon aeroad CFR sram red and zipp wheels
I think for the bike, Rose bikes are the more affordable options with high end specs money can buy
the newmens are actually not hookless, they are hooked… u might wana do some research
I’d go for the Giant Propel that Jayco use, purely for the colour scheme. Cos I’m that shallow .
Pirelli P-Zero Race TLR in 30mm in summer, Continental GP5000 AS TR in 32mm in winter
Clik valves are easily clogged by sealant. I switched back to fillmore valves on all of my tubeless wheelsets. Only using Clik valves with tubes.
The trek madone SLR is actually quite cheap compared to other brands. With the Ultegra groupset you can get it under £7k
I love this. Thanks for sharing
I would buy anything Tadey uses.. including the insta360.. yes..
What tire was Sepp Kuss on?
no thx. Tour de france is about marketing and advertise.
I definitely saw Egan Bernal jettison a bottle out of an elite leggero cage, stage 21 maybe? Nah, you got to go for the vico carbon and elite fly bottles.
I have the Bianchi that Bahrain is on, but if I picked a different bike from the peloton it would be the UnoX Ridley. I have owned and sold two Ridleys in the past and I still have one for my cyclocross bike. I enjoy a Ridley as much or more than the more "prestigious" brands.
