@Kluuz

Is that the stem that came w' the bike? (I'm assuming you bought an Expert level bike complete, versus build-up from frame..??)

Yes was expert level but I had it swapped for the S-Works stem during the fitting session at the shop. I was going to use a S-Works Shallow Bend handlebar too instead of the expert alloy one and I liked to have all components on S-Works level.

Later decided that I preferred the look of the roval handlebar for this bike though.

What you need is some tune wasserträger 2.0 and a handbuild 55mm wheelset by Philippos!
Aren't those tune things for MTB's? Anyway I'm a long-time fan of the Specialized rib cage, so no way! ;-) edit: hmmm they are very light though :shock:

Philippos set is already ordered, just not as deep (45mm). :thumbup:
Naahhh, They are much like the Arundel Mandible but alot of people prefer the Tune over the Arundel. Im debating if I wanna replace my Elite Vico Carbon with the Tune WASSERTRÄGER. They have some pretty good deals now. They are alot of reviews here on WW about them because of the weight.

So, Zipp 404 Firecrest question... Wheels were ordered last year w' a 11 speed Shimano hub. Will soon be picking up new Tarmac Expert with 12 speed Di2 Shimano. What do I need for the rear wheel to work with 12 speed? (Really expected to use these wheels on another 11 speed bike when they were ordered, thus the question)

Nothing. 12spd shimano cassette fits the old freehub.

I've got a Canyon guide for my build:

Attaches to bottle cage mount unlike my old K-edge that was attached to the derailleur mount.

Also using the Canyon Chain Catcher Short as mentioned above.

Hey all

Normally I lurke about but have just collected my SL7 with some upgrade from Rhinosworkshop so thought I would post.
Was hoping that Roval aero cockpit might be released after being spotted at the beginning of the year but sadly not as may have brought the weigh down some more but it is probably for the SL8 which I will Likely get 😂.
I could get it down to 5.85kg but it would cost around £6k!! a set or Partington wheels at 1150g and some THM Frontalé bar/stem combo at 220g would do it so I will dream 😂

Complete weigh 6.39kg with dura ace SPD's and cages comprising of:

SL7 Frame custom painted by Fatcreations. Colour is Chromacoat fireball red/black/gold with a slight marble effect just cannot pick it up in photos!
SL7 Stem 120mm 12Deg
Roval Rapide Bars 40cm
Darimo 3k Seatpost
Berk Ploh 3k Carbon Saddle
THM Clavicula 170mm Crank
Carbon TI Evo Chain Rings 52/36
Dura Ace Group with 11-30 Cassette
Ceramic Speed BSA Coated BB
Ceramic Speed Coated OSPW
Sigeyi Direct Mount Derailleur Hanger
Tune Wasserträger Bottle Cages
Winspace Hyper D67 Wheelset
Ridenow TPU inner tubes 85mm
Maxxis high road SL hypr k2 25mm Tyres
Carbonworks.de Bar End Plugs
Burgh Bar Tape

That's crazy good! And that paint is so light. How :shock: dripping in cash haha!

May I ask how much you paid for that paint since I also see they grinded away the old paint first which is very time consuming. I know fat creations are best in business but I never see prices for their work.

Ride, smile and be proud of that beauty.
