As to the red anodised bits Hope floating rotors are getting replaced as there to much red going on there on the hub,also ti rotor bolts are getting replaced as well.

Stunned you let the LBS touch your bike - the way most are treated I'd expect it to come back covered in scratches!0

Meguires quick detailer on frame and wheels and only on the side walls,0 -
I didn't even know that you could get red gear cable! Nice.
Just one thing, that I feel rather churlish for asking... but why don't you line up your tyre logos and valves? I guess that if you're running tubeless then there's less reason (i.e. no need to check the inside of the tyre for thorns/nails when you find a hole in an inner tube) but it would look neater.0 -
There's every reason, it looks far better. I agree btw.0

Glad you noticed the attention to detail, but I've lined the tyre logo's the same on both wheels opersite the valves

But they're not opposite the valves - they're sort or perpendicular, but not really. Line 'em up!0
-
There in the parish and I'm not breaking the tyre seal to move them either

Now running red jockey wheels however there not as smooth as the kcnc type.

Haha! So you've bought a silly light carbon saddle, and you can't sit on it.
Try a Phenom Pro, still pretty light, but much more comfy.0 -
Rides after 10miles I can feel it getting harsh, however I've done 30miles using a padded short,0
-
Wow. Just. Wow.
All that light weight kit, all the little bits and pieces... and after 10 miles you can't sit on it...
Awesomez!!!
:roll:0 -
Must be getting old lol.. 0
-
10 miles!? Seriously, why not just buy a better saddle? Those covers are horrendous, like sitting on a wet fish!
You'd fit right in on Weight Weenies for sure, form over function!0 -
I thought only women ever used those things on saddles!0

Coz it makes him go faster... although only for a while, cos soon he can't sit on it so he has to to stop and get a cushion out...
It defeats the whole point of riding a bike, because you can't ride it. I never get people like that, you wouldn't buy a car that you couldn't drive any further after an hour, so why is a bike like this acceptable? There comes a point where weight saving goes too far, a compromise is needed or it just becomes useless :roll:WindyG wrote:I thought only women ever used those things on saddles!
Well he's a clearly a huge vagina then!0
