Just realised I'd left the plastic protector in the top of the seatpost.

My size ML with 56mm wheels and porky parts are less than 7.5kg if I used lighter tires.
Maybe more than 8k cos Galfer rotors is lighter than XT.Bluetomatoo wrote:MagicShite wrote:how is this even 8kg?

7,8 without Garmin mount and no sealant tubeless. Size S.

The TCR from Bluetomatoo is the old TCR, so the frame/fork are heavier.MagicShite wrote: ↑Thu Feb 23, 2023 3:56 pmhow is this even 8kg?

The seat clamp rests on top of the seat post, If the seat post hasn’t been cuted square to perfection, the clamp can rock on top of it. The pinch bolt only prevents the clamp from faling over.impotentloki wrote: ↑Fri Feb 24, 2023 2:14 pmHey guys, riding the Advanced SL, anyone facing seat mast creaking issues here? It becomes extra noticeable when putting down power on climbs or upslopes, torqued it to 4NM as per the spec.

Grease the barrel that holds the saddle rails cradle bolt. It creaks in both model years if installed dry.
When removing the topper to grease it, check for cracks or defects on the bore/ hole where this barrel fits.
The short topper on my 2012 TCR Adv SL was machined too deep & the material left was too thin & cracked over time.

Check for signs of tolerance between the topper an the post itself. I added 0.02 ( 4 layers / 2 in the front edge & 2 in the back edge) of polyester tape (used to protect threads when powder coat painting) to reduce play between both parts.You can also use tubeless tape.
Don’t over torque the topper lower bolt. I use 3.5 Nm & it holds tight enough. Value on topper is 4Nm.
