Sorry, I thought it was the same person that kept posting in here about some crappy plastic insert for the stem that the moderators stopped?benelliracing wrote: ↑Fri Apr 28, 2023 2:43 pmNo one has been blocked, messages outside the forum are allowed.DeeDoubleYou wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2023 3:13 pmFFS, how is he now managing to spam me via email after being blocked on here!?
Im interested in that, too. The rims are the same shape as the Cadex Ultra 50s as far as I know and should perform nicely. But I would be interested in experience with tubeless setups, actual width of tires (e.g. GP5000 S TR 28c ...) etc.CharlieDG wrote: ↑Fri Apr 21, 2023 5:02 pmWhat are people's impressions of the SLR 1 50mm wheels? I currently ride the SLR 1 42mm wheels, which are shallower at 42mm and narrower at 19.4mm. They are lighter though. Will I notice much of a performance upgrade moving from the 42 to the 50? I am attracted by the aero properties of the deeper and wider rim.
They're fine. Have been on them for about 4k now. Havn't used my 36mm since I got the 50s. The 12° engagment is not really an issue, same goes for cross winds. But I kinda hate the noise, quite fed up with loud freehubs by now. The ride feel is way nicer then the 42mm Rims. I'm running them with 25mm Pro Ones (measured 27,5mm), TL Setup was easy (never had any issues on Giant Rims so far).HBike wrote: ↑Mon May 15, 2023 4:27 pmIm interested in that, too.

I think they provide a nice package regarding aero and weight for the money, in addition to Giants generous weight limit compared to many other brands.
The SLR 2 were criticised for the larger hub engagement angle, so that should translate to the SLR 1, too.
Thanks.bedampft wrote: ↑Mon May 15, 2023 10:20 pmThey're fine. Have been on them for about 4k now. Havn't used my 36mm since I got the 50s.

New colors (for most Bikes) will be announced in autumn, same goes for a new Defy. Next year Trinitiy, and after that a new TCR, but the later not before 2025.
Interested in this too as I'd like to fit a Propel bottle cage to the downtube of my 2021 TCR, only because the cage fits so neatly.
I'd imagine they work ok with most frames with a wideish downtube ... but besides looking neat, I doubt there's much aero gain as there's no aero bottle and they're more minimalist than the more integrated BMC ones.
I have just received one and fitted it to my BMC roadmachine01. The down tube one actually matches the contours of the frame well. Issue is I now need a matching one and fairly certain the seat tube one won’t work well with my frame!RDY wrote:I'd imagine they work ok with most frames with a wideish downtube ... but besides looking neat, I doubt there's much aero gain as there's no aero bottle and they're more minimalist than the more integrated BMC ones.
