Show us your Supersix Evo's

Finally pickedr her up. 105 version. With discounts, cycle to work and the £100 ish I will get for the stock Mavics/tyres will have set me back £700 so a bargain.

Always wanted a Supersix, but for whatever reason I've ended up buying other brands in the past. Usually deal related. The Matt silver paint job is awesome in real life, think it will be a mare to keep clean though.

Added a few bits from old bike. Fulcrum Quattros. Pro logo kappa saddle (looking for a lime green insert now). Chinese carbon cages. Michelin Pro 4 endurance grey.

Will asses the spacer situation after a few rides but likely to drop down 10mm or so.

Does anyone know the stock stem length on a 58cm?

New wheels.......

bsharp77

Oooohhh my! Even if they're rubbish.....they look lovely!

bendertherobot

Quite!

First impressions are excellent. They are bang on weight (1800g). Tension is even and they're perfectly round etc.

Tyres are an absolute cinch to get on. Brake blocks are excellent (in the dry can't feel any difference to my alu tracks).

Only minus is a very very loud free hub but that's (some) Novatecs for you.

Very nice but would look better without the tail pack though

LOL agreed - get a bottle tool pack.

Plus it needs slamming or at least lowering, its about looks not comfort

bendertherobot

No. It's about comfort! I'll get the pack sorted mind.

Anybody got a link to buy a new headset top cap for under the stem? My 2015 Evo 105 has a ridiculous 25mm tall top cap. I fancy going a tad lower at the front so need a new top cap and spacers.

bendertherobot

I may have bought a SuperX to supplement my 6

im not positive but i think there might be a low one under the tall one, its worth a look if you havent already

Definitely not in my case. Had the headset out for a clean last week.

Doesn't the tall one have to go over the low one? I know the tall one on it's own doesn't work, I've tried it. Seems to be a bit of a dark art to get the headset right on the Super Six...for me anyway!

The big conical spacer sits right on the headset with just a small gasket type ring between.

Strange. Afaik it's usually right under the big cap, but if you say not, then maybe that's not the case.

In any case, Qwerty are usually a great source for 'dale parts, but they're saying out of stock. Same with Westbrook. Triton are showing stock, but ring them and double-check. I had a month plus of the runaround waiting for a Hollowgram crank puller before they finally admitted it wasn't in stock. The official part is number KP253 for the 5mm dust cap. The KP250, for non-Evo Supersix does *not* fit. A generic 46mm dia. spacer works fine, I've one on my CAAD 10. Also maybe try Dave Kane's in Belfast, they usually have odd bits and bobs of spares like that sitting about.

Ooo clever!!

First full day on my 60mm clinchers yesterday. Can't believe how fast aero wheels are, especially on uphill sections.

Here is mine 2014 Supersix Evo Red 9k miles on the clock - Odd wheels at the moment long story! Scuffed cranks

Late to the party but I replaced the big one with this:

bendertherobot

Yeah, not a 6 but...

homers_double

Some people have too much (maybe not now though) money.

bendertherobot

Hocked 2 to buy 1!

Sgt_Pepper

couldnt bring myself to get along with that yellow spoke on the mavic rims so i got some new wheels whilst they are on offer.

Demoted the Mavics to my caad8 commuter

bendertherobot

Are those the A42's?

Sgt_Pepper

Yes, they are sold as dark label or something like that .

bendertherobot

Nice. I was looking at those the other day. A bit narrow for me but it does take care of any chainstay issues!

germcevoy

Back on the RS11's due to the Fulcrum Quattro's not surviving their first wet ride and chain reaction taking a month to repair. Urghhhhhh.

bendertherobot

Repair? Have words, that's unacceptable.

I've no idea what they have been up to. They have been truly atrocious. Still haven't received the wheel back for inspection.

antfly

That's about normal IME. I have had two rims replaced under warranty and they both took about a month. CRC have to send them to the supplier who have to get the part and rebuild the wheel at the manufactuer's service centre and then send them back. At least that's what I was told.

germcevoy

Mudguard options? Who has experience here?
