Thank's emotive. What about the hight of the tyre? Hight was issue with the olt Pathfinder 42
I haven’t seen anyone mention the s-works pathfinder height/radius. Maybe jump into the S-works pathfinder thread and ask if anyone has a comparison, that’s where I saw the width measurementskampiakseli wrote:Thank's emotive. What about the hight of the tyre?

Hi Rolfo,
I currently have the new conti S TR 28 set-up tubeless in road mode, does not ride strange or sketchy imo. Comfort is quite okay actually, it is still a stiff / aero bike ofcourse. You might want to read through the comments of Jussi Heiro somewhere around pages 3-6, he has made some comparisons to a fair number of other reputable bikes! Hope this helps..
Cheers

Do you have any difficulties to put the battery inside the seatpost?
I want to put Ultegra di2 12sp on my racemax but heard that it's not possible to put the battery on the seatpost.

Just received my Exploro RaceMax frameset today but was a bit surprised to not find any literature (manual/instruction/etc.) inside the box....is this normal? Does anyone have a digital copy or a Shop manual beyond the basic owners manual found on 3t's site? Im mostly interested in a document that provides guidance on recommended grease application locations and torque specs.
The frame is a warranty replacement for my Strada that had cracks in the seat tube so I'm swapping over the 1x setup I was running on the Strada. I do plan to eventually switch to a 2x setup of some kind, so I was hoping someone with a mechanical 2x setup could please snap a picture of the FD cable routing path where it comes out of the frame? Thanks!

How are you liking the Rotor Carbon rings? What setup are you running them at? These are the qrings right? They look goodalexn15 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 25, 2021 7:52 amBeen using my Exploro Racemax for 6 months now and I can say that this can be the N-1 bike.

This is controversial, but if they could just get those cables internal, aesthetically this would be one of my favourite bikes

I was in love with the Exploro, then started shortlisting bikes and comparing them in detail, and a Ridley Kanzo Fast just barely got a better score in my spreadsheet, so I bought that instead. Cable routing is only a small detail, but it's small things like that which tipped the balance. Still love the Exploro, though.
Cable routing is probably a bigger factor for folk who want to experiment with top-tube bags!

Agree. Surprised this wasn’t addressed with the just released Racemax Ultra frame. They switched to a round seatpost but didn’t update the cable routing.CustomMetal wrote:This is controversial, but if they could just get those cables internal, aesthetically this would be one of my favourite bikes
Part of the appeal of this frame is the aesthetics. I prefer the straight top tube of the Racemax to the Kanzo Fast TT, but the cabling messes that up.

Agreed. I'm actually falling out of love with my Racemax as the routing is just so damn awkward looking.emotive wrote:Agree.

Unsure whether I'll just suck it up or buy something else

I got this together a few months ago and have been really enjoying it through the summer. Very much looking forward to it being the favorite bike through the fall and winter months.
