Hi folks, here's my 2019 Emonda SL6 Disc with Stayer 50 mm wheels on DT350 hubs.

Only other upgrades are the Fizik Antares Open. Love this bike. Would love to sort out the cabling, though.

    Ive the same bike. Did you 'feel' any improvement when you changed wheels?

    I also have the same bike, but the cabling on yours looks weird, in the way it's routed beside / over the top tube and there doesn't appear to be a smooth transition into the down tube - did you buy it like that?

    Here's mine, note the cables are in a normal position -

    That's the million dollar question. Too early to really say, but they seem lots faster! aI have got a few PBs in the first two rides with them, but maybe they're just inspiring me to ride quicker! They certainly look the mutt's nuts. I just did a 70km ride with them that was pretty fast, but that's also probably cos the guy I was riding with is a beast and was pushing (read, pulling) me to ride out of my comfort zone.

    Bianchi Dave, I bought it like that. Redoing/shortening the cables is beyond my personal skill set. I should probably take it to a store and get them to sort it out if/when I upgrade the handlebars. It's a bit ugly but I can live with it.
