    Mudguard options? Who has experience here?

    Are you the kind of person that buys a Dolce & Gabbana suit and washes it Nikwak just in case it rains?

    Just a guy wanting to avoid buying a 'winter bike'. I have spare wheels and tyres I can use, brake pads are cheap and external cabling makes it an easy bike to ride on. I'll also be replacing the chain, cassette and chainset after winter so why not ride it? I just want dry feet and a relatively dry arse.

    Still loving the Evo, now running full Dura Ace, Deda Superleggera cockpit
    and Zipp 404 wheels. The Zipps almost feel like their willing you to push on
    more and more and make holding speed seem much easier. I am however
    thinking about buying a second set of wheels for this simply to reduce the
    weight a little further, the bike currently weighs in at 6.42kg but i would love
    it to come in at 5.something kg.

    I suspect it's the usual suspects. So Crud road racer or the Raceblade XL ones that you attach at the QR then at the brake bridge etc. Clearance on the Six is minimal so that latter might be the best as they don't extend down to the bottom bracket.

    Course, you could get a nice Tiagra CAADX....................

    I ran mine for a winter, and the next October bought a winter bike.. Depending how often you intend riding it in winter it really takes it out of the bike. Gave up an RaceBlades XL rattled a lot and was really tight on the rear brake bridge. So ended up getting cold and soaking wet feet and backend. I was commuting though so quite intensive use in all weathers the worst thing was weekly washing and the amount of brake pads I got through and the wear on a decent rear wheel!

    It was lovely getting back on the Six in March! Not that the winter bike was a pile of poo still carbon but nowhere near as lively and nimble, it felt like a brand new bike having not been on it for 5 months lol

    Fair comments. Realistically I'd only be out maybe two times a week in the winter. Mid week will be spent at the turbo or gym. A second bike would be a no brainier if it wasn't for storage issues. I don't mind tearing through cheap rims or brake pads.

    Hi,

    I am exactly 6 foot tall and ride a 56cm, perfect in everyway size wise!

    Cruds are pretty good if they fit, the only way to find out is to try them.I have a 2012 Supersix here and some cruds on another bike that don't fit it at all anymore (slightly wider rims and tyres and new cruds) and the plastic always wore through eventually, even with narrow rims and tyres. I reckon they would fit the Supersix better as it has more clearance, at least with narrow rims and tyres.

    I was running the version 1 Schwalbe One tubeless which are quite tall on the wheel, looking at the panaracer tubeless on the bike now the clearance is much better. I think I could get the new Raceblade Long to work better with these tyres.

    Realistically for two rides a week I wouldn't bother and just be a bit selective on when I went out.

    Could be right. Or use one of those seatpost mounted things to keep the worst of it off my backside.

    So, for the Six, apart from being marginally less pretty, this is good, isn't it?

    I recently took off my dura ace 9000 chainset from my six and replaced it with a sisl 2 chainset, it's a massive improvement in the looks department IMO.

    From Triton, and they're admitting to not having stock?

    Be as well getting a chunk of aluminium and a file and start whittling yourself. You'll probably be done before it arrives.

    Yeah, only posted as they had the pic (and the price).

    My LBS said it's available on the system and can fit it, so I'll get it done September time. Will probably go compact as I'm doing the Marmotte.

    Can anyone recommend a source of a 52/36 10 arm Spidering at decent price. Most places seem to have no stock....

    Dropping over 400 grams from a wheelset alone is going to be asking a lot, especially considering your current wheels are a top of the line pair of carbon clinchers and aren't exactly portly to begin with. That said...

    Your best chance would be going tubs, 404 clinchers are labeled as 1680g, 202 tubs are 1180g, plus a tub is lighter than a clincher/tube so there's your saving! You've pretty much got everything else as light as it will go already by the looks of it.

    You could save a load of weight from those wheels (claimed weight 1690g) with shallow rimmed clinchers, even alloy ones.

    That Super X with a spare set of race wheels must be all the bike you ever need right?
