Nice to see one fitted with campag
Even in the little ring?
Took another shot of mine in its latest guise today:

Yeah but full campag not FSA crankset
Had any loose left crankarm moments yet?
You will
Not nit picking or anything but your saddle is very far forward on the rails and a few degrees tipped at the front is that frame the right size for you?

I must admit there was one commute where I had a NDS crank arm dangling from my shoe, but it's been ok other than that for the past two and a half years plus it's carbon, so I'm ok with some extra fiddling.
Saddle is where the bike-fit machine put it, I'd say it fits me beautifully.0 -

My Felt had an FSA crankset and never had any issues with it, and my 2nd hand Marin came with a FSA full carbon jobbie, probably the same as UE's, and that had covered at least 2000 miles when I bought it, and has since covered at least another 3500 miles, and I've had zero issues.
This might just mean that it's bonded on and will never come off of course :?
And 3 days on, my Vectors are still sat in sodding customs - ITB, did I read that you had something from Germany delayed by customs - do you recall how long it took?
When it despatched on Thursday I thought there was no way I would not have them by this weekend - looking unlikely now.
Only downside of them arriving is that I will have to remove the sought out yellow Look pedals from the SL :-(Felt F70 05 (Turbo)

To be fair, the only time mine's come off is when I had (for reasons of me being a total meat hook) neglected to use my torque wrench when re-fitting. I remember thinking, "Yep, that should be tight enough". Couple of weeks later:

Did you manage to get your phone out to take that photo while still riding along? You don't strike me as a hat-cam sort of fellow.Sometimes parts break. Sometimes you crash. Sometimes it’s your fault.0

Always keep my phone in my jersey pocket, plus good bearings mean I had plenty of time. I'm definitely not the hat cam type, wouldn't want anyone finding out what proportion of the time I spend looking at myself in shop windows.Did you manage to get your phone out to take that photo while still riding along?

BALLS i think there's something wrong with my Scott its developed a slight amount of play in the headset area three rides in three even though i've correctly torqued it up each time, i just hope its shagged headset bearings and not something more serious.Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.

Could it just be the expander plug - think it's meant to be torqued up to 8nm IIRC.

8nm sounds familiar. Maybe try a bit of carbon paste on both the bung and the steerer tube/stem.BALLS i think there's something wrong with my Scott its developed a slight amount of play in the headset area three rides in three even though i've correctly torqued it up each time, i just hope its shagged headset bearings and not something more serious.

Agreed that does seem pretty tight, but that would be nice if it were your issue eh :-)

From the Scott manual:8nm wtf that's crazy tight and can't be the problem I've been riding this since bought the frameset, well a few days afterwards when all the parts arrived :twisted:
Tighten the Expander with the 8mm Allen key at (A) to a torque of 8/9NM pressure, making sure that the Expander stays flush to the top of the steerer and doesn’t lift slightly.0 -

Sorry if this has been asked before. But I am thinking of putting 25mm or 27mm tyres on my Scott CR1. Anyone had any problems with the fit ? thanksRidley Fenix SL0

25mm is a very tight fit at the rear seat stays. You should be OK if your wheel is true and the tires are no bigger than 25mm.Sorry if this has been asked before. But I am thinking of putting 25mm or 27mm tyres on my Scott CR1. Anyone had any problems with the fit ? thanks0 -
I have GP4000S 25mm on my frame with Shimano RS80 wheels. It *just* fits within a few mm, which is normally not an issue, but on steep climbs when I'm out of the saddle I can hear the tyre rubbing the frame slightly.
So more than 25mm, no chance.0 -
25mm should be ok. I'm running Schwalbe Ultemo ZX 25s on reasonable wide carbon rims and it's fine on my SL.Titus Silk Road Ti rigid 29er - Scott Solace 10 disc - Kinesis Crosslight Pro6 disc - Scott CR1 SL - Pinnacle Arkose X 650b - Pinnacle Arkose singlespeed - Specialized Singlecross...& an Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray 4 string...0

i truely is amazing how different two bikes can feel to ride, I do love my Scott but its a bit harsh in a sort of rigid on rails kinda way, my Ribble sportive is the total opposite it just seems to soak up everything from the road and almost blend in, both are comfortable for all day challenging riding but totally different characteristics.Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.

Yup - I was stunned by my bro's CXer. Until that point, I thought the differences were more at the subtle end if things.ROAD < Scott Foil HMX Di2, Volagi Liscio Di2, Jamis Renegade Elite Di2, Cube Reaction Race > ROUGH0 -

Similar experience here on my Crosslight, albeit shod with bigger tyres at lower pressures, much smoother than the CR1. But I still love the Scott for climbing and overall pace though. Would be intrigued to try a well sorted Synapse or BMC Gran Fondo or similar, just to see if best of both worlds?Titus Silk Road Ti rigid 29er - Scott Solace 10 disc - Kinesis Crosslight Pro6 disc - Scott CR1 SL - Pinnacle Arkose X 650b - Pinnacle Arkose singlespeed - Specialized Singlecross...& an Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray 4 string...0 -
I should have added that my R5 feels much like gliding on air which could have something to do with it only weighing 14 ish lbs I've also ridden an R3 and a supersix evo for a couple of weeks both of which were great but nothing special I'd say the Scott is better than both of those.
Then again I suspect a lot of that is down to wheels and tyres, I'm running ultegra shod with paves at 100psi both the R3 and supersix were hirw bikes with average wheels and crap tyres.Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.

Indeed I got totally shaken to bits today on rough roads. Ended up my chain is now rubbing on the front mech which is annoying.0

I have just bought a Supersix Evo. Upgraded the wheels to RS81 (vs Zondas on my CR1 SL) and the Cannondale definitely soaks up the bumps better whilst handling superbly. Also have a Ribble Sportive Bianco, handling much more vague on that bike.0 -
Finally got round to building it! On the look out for a bargain red crank. Will cut and take down the handlebars when i can face tweaking again.
