DMT KRSL Knit (508g in size 45). Super soft upper, haven't ridden in them. Kind of worried about the heel lift but people have said it disappears on the bike.

Can you feel laces (protruding) on the side of the foot?

Indeed! I'm a fan of nologo.cc socks since I got my first pair in 2019.

My favorite, MB WEAR:

According to my excel sheet, it should be under 6,6 kg in size 56.

I want to see this built!

Finally it was over 6,6 kg. Excel sheet error aside, I am happy with the final result. When I have time and better pictures I will make a post for it.

Very nice weight on that Holdsworth!

Going to give Veloflex a try again. Been a number of years since I last ran Veloflex. Packaging is better than in the old Master's. They smell the same if that means anything. Currently mounted them on a set of Hplus son Archetype rims to stretch, just over 26mm wide currently.

Managed to get a sweet deal locally.
A$719 delivered (~US$485).
Now just waiting on pedals to swap for the gravel bike !

Wow, that's a great deal, I had to pay the full EU price for mine, can't wait for my health to get better so I could try the pedals and start training.

Note that mine was just the DUO axle set as will be using SPD pedals, but still a great price !

Today I ordered:

Time Alpe D'Huez 2023 (M), gloss carbon
Force D2
BlackInc Twenty wheels
GP5K tires


The stock bar/stem/post are midrange Deda. Long term im thinking of going all BlackInc for the components, or maybe stick with Deda.

Where did you get them. I am looking for a good price in the US but cannot find it.
Thanks

Destroyed my bearings over a very rainy month of march (or my ftp suddenly increased…)

Great opportunity to buy proper BB bearings for the good weather: NTN ultra low friction seals.
Kudos to Hambini who packaged them over the weekend to allow me to receive them ontime to race during this long weekend.
