Thanks for that.

Good spot. I had built it up with the rapide aero bar. But I had a crash and due to availability and wanting a narrow bar I couldn't get another set for ages so I ended up getting the roval terra bars in 38cm. Bloody love them. Nice shallow drop/reach and a good amount of flare which I like on a narrow bar cause I'm all legs and tend to knee the ends of the drops when sprinting. Side note they're lighter than the rapides.pmprego wrote: ↑Sun May 28, 2023 9:12 amWhat's the handlebar??r33prman wrote: ↑Sun May 28, 2023 8:14 amgarbageman wrote: ↑Sun May 28, 2023 4:28 amr33prman wrote: ↑Sun May 28, 2023 3:05 amControversial considering last nights giro TT but I recently went 1x on the tarmac.

I've spent some time trying to decide between those terra bars and the zippp aero sl. Given that I was not able to see the terra in real life, I ended up going with the zipp. Can you share a front photo of the bike. In the end I was afraid the flare would be a bit too much and the hoods would end up rotated further than I wanted.r33prman wrote: ↑Sun May 28, 2023 11:16 amGood spot.

Don't worry then. I'll try to ask your feedback in another way. The terras are gravel bars. Some gravel bars, the way they implement the flare makes it impossible to have the hoods "rotated but not by a lot". For instance, the enve bars have the same 5cm increase in width from hoods to drops but are able to achieve this without forcing the user to end up with hoods considerably rotated (they can still achieve that strongly rotated position but it is up to select that).
In this context, how would you define the terra bars?
Thanks for the feedback!
You can definitely set them up straight. I had to select to rotate them in.pmprego wrote: ↑Sun May 28, 2023 1:33 pmDon't worry then. I'll try to ask your feedback in another way.

Has anyone here routed mechanical shifting through an SL7? Is it a fool's errand?
I have an SL7 on the way. I'd love it to be Campagnolo but don't want to pay for the new $5k wireless groupset. Chorus or Record would be in budget.
I'm just skeptical about the routing and getting the derailleurs to shift correctly as I struggled with routing my 11 speed through 3T handlebars. (Admittedly 3T internal routing on those bars sucked horribly. Just two round holes. No channels or anything.)

Hey gang, can anyone tell me the clamp width of the sl7 stem, and the width of the main body of the stem?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I built an SL7 with mech Campagnolo H11 a couple of years ago for budget reasons. It shifts fine, although I used Vision Metron Aero bars that have excellent routing holes. Just use high quality cables and housing.AJS914 wrote: ↑Tue May 30, 2023 8:24 pmHas anyone here routed mechanical shifting through an SL7? Is it a fool's errand?

Thanks for the feedback. Are the worst bends on the SL7 around and through the bars? I mean, once the cables enter the headset area, are the bends reasonable? Where is the cable stop located?Aakoo wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2023 7:34 amI built an SL7 with mech Campagnolo H11 a couple of years ago for budget reasons.

What kind of play? I'm no mechanic but when I have play on my cassette I'd go to my LBS...
