What kind of mount you have for your Garmin radar?
Takewell Garmin Varia saddle rail mount ruclips.net/video/kNJeAHg-vFo/видео.html
I recently got an Ostro Vam V1 and I'm curious what size of tires I should put on the Black Inc Sixtys.. I'll go with Conti GP5K Tubeless, but I'm not sure if I should put the 28mm or 30mm tires on. Did you ever try 30s on this bike/wheelset?
I never went larger than 28 but I would go 28 since your running tubeless. Keeps a nice aero profile. 30 will bulge over the side
would you rather go with tpu tubes?
Yes. I switched back to TPU tubes when I went 28 and was more comfortable. Also use Revoloop Ultra race 22g version
What is the spoke length
I came here for the bikes. Got distracted by the termi 😂
Is this the pro or expert trim?
I think that Giant TCR SL with Cadex cockpit excellent merge both world: because of proper sized bb area (because of wide superb press fit bb and downtube connection with that bb) it’s offering superb acceleration (standing and seating) and lightweight (aero is practically the same as sl8)
I have a friend that has both the 2023 tcr sl0 and s works sl8. Both splitting hairs for weight and handling but he shared that the sl8 is faster at the speeds we ride. The tcr is not very aero.
@@addictcyclist what avg speeds?
Hi, I wanna to buy Tarmac SL8 but i read in service manual one thing that scared me a little: page 5 in Tarmac SL8 service manual (section: „trade off”):„relatively short product life”, „you are choosing light weight (shorter frame life) over more frame weight and a longer frame life”, „you are choosing light weight over more dent resistant or rugged frames that weigh more”. What do You personally think about it? Maybe this applies only to s-works grade carbon, and fact 10r is safe option (only little heavier)??
It will apply to any high end carbon road bike. Sounds like a run of mill disclaimer. If you crash any high mod frame they are all likely to damage
@ ok but I not mind crash but daily normal things like sitting on top tube, accidental fall of bike etc. I hear that fact12R frame are more prone to crack than fact10R
I would put my money on the 10r surviving over the 12r lol
I bought both models in size 44 (EUR) and had the chance to compare them (off the bike) for a week until I returned the Wire 2. They were both in gray color (Shot 2 are lighter gray with gloss finish). Wire 2 felt at least half a size smaller and they felt much more rigid. Probably because their upper are made of a firmer material and/or because of their lacing system design. The sole felt stiffer with Wire 2 as well. Maybe because it was smaller, I don't know. Shot 2 has definitely more room for the toes but suffers a little bit heel slip. The upper feels much softer on the Shot 2 as well. They are easier to wear and feel more comfortable on the feet. But I would prefer them to be a little more rigid like Wire 2. Wire 2 in the same size were great at the heels but my toes felt uncomfortably tight. I had also tried "Wire 2 Carbon Air" model in a bike shop which has perforated and more flexible leather. It felt more comfortable than the regular Wire 2 (matte gray) but I had not compared them with these two models at home. I may go try them again. In conclusion I liked the Wire 2 better because of their stiffer feeling but it felt too tight on my toes. So I had to return them. I am not sure the stiffness feeling of Wire 2 is due to it being smaller but I wish it was a more roomy. I would love to try size 44.5 for the Wire 2 but local distributors carry half sizes only for the Shot 2 model. Maybe I'll try size 43.5 for Shot 2, but they would probably be too small for me.
Hi mate. Great Video! Do you know if this frame protector works on an alloy Spark frame?
Hey it should! Same frame shapes
Would you say at 178cm and 82cm inseam I should run a small? Thanks
Always consider sizing down. Best bet is to confirm with fitter or canyon as the Aeroad is very aggressive geo and only 15mm of headset spacers.
Addict Cyclist, Just a suggestion, but you may want to give these a try and consideration.. CURREX BIKEPRO Insoles | Dynamic Insoles for Cycling, Bike Riding & MotoGP
Exclusively use Solestar now.
@@addictcyclist O.K.
@addictcyclist you got a shoutout on the 12/24 nero show podcast. and I have your old systemsix.
Haha nice! Still enjoying it up in Canada!? Yea I saw the mention and thanked Jesse
Love my Ostro Vam. Had the SL7. Great bike and comparable to my Ostro
All great frames!
I had no idea that Music Biz Marty was a cyclist. 👍🏻
Ostro uses a proprietary design, frame material, their own factory etc. the SL8 is got Specialized’s design but is still essentially a Chinese factory build and a lot of marketing money. Once up to speed all the aero bikes will be faster than the SL8. Which is much more like a Willier Filante. A mild aero bike that great all around. My 2 cents.
Thanks for feedback! From my experience owning a madone, system six, s5, ostro, and now sl8, the sl8 is the liveliest and damn near close to all the aero heavy hitters. The aero bikes are dogs to accelerate. Sl8 perceived feel over the ostro is that it’s more aero. Wind tunnels don’t lie, but out on the road with all varying conditions, it punches above its aero wind tunnel tests. Idk how they did it, but it’s pretty incredible. This is my first tarmac. I never bought into the S hype but this bike changed my mind completely.
@@addictcyclistwhen you must braking and accelerate often that lightweight bike with lightweight wheels outperform heavy typical aero bike
You must try Giant TCR - You probably prefer TCR over any other bike in accelerate and lightweight departament 👍☝️💪
Specialized SL6 and Sl8 (and prob sl7 too) are designed by Denk engeneering, not Specialized. Specialized don’t design and make any bikes. It’s marketing company. True bike manufacturer is Giant, have own R&D, factory, and they made own carbon sheets
Hola, interesante, yo tuve uno, sin embargo lo cambié, no logré acoplarme a él, suelo deslizarme hacia la punta e ir la mayor parte de tiempo en esa posición y como bien lo mencionas, es estrecho, era ahi donde iniciaba la pesadilla… pero al escuchar tu vídeo creo que me faltó un poco de lógica en ubicar mejor el sillín 🤔 estoy pensando en probar la versión de endurance,… por tener más acolchado… si tienes algún comentario al respecto, te lo agradeceré, saludos de Guatemala
Greetings! The endurance version or gravel is extremely comfortable. I have it on my mountain bike. Give it a try!
@ gracias, lo probaré. Feliz año 2025
What size is this one?
54
Small aesthetic detail, QR-code is supposed to be on the non-drive side. For example on the Corsa Pro Control that is directional, QR ends up in the left.
Hello what is your saddle height please? And your frame is this a size 54? Thank you
Hey! 54cm frame and saddle height 72cm
with the arrival of FA , or since epic 8, do you think the Epic 8 would be bette with three positions?
The epic 8 is a good option. My friend s works epic 8 weighs same as my custom build and I spent 5k less. And middle mode on twin lock is proprietary as it goes from 120mm to 80mm. I still think Spark is winner.
@ thanks. I’m thinking actually more of the Spark with FA! What do you think of that option?
FA is next level. That may level out the field and can go either way spark or epic 8. If I had the FA as the deciding factor, I may lean towards what nine I can get cheaper, maybe epic 8 if I had the FA
@ I am leaning Scott because I’ve always wanted to try. I had the spark 730 with twin lock (onvioubsly) and loved the control. I liked switching. But I think flight attendant you can still have it set up like that as well. But I guess FA is smarter than me
Rode latex the last couple of seasons, perfect! Now I ride tpu’s (ridenow) in combination with schwalbe tle’s/enve 4.5 at 60psi to get sub 7kg. I must say they surprise me, different but pretty close to latex.
I would get rid of the fan in front and just keep the one behind you. A good tail wind might add 2 to 3 mph on your downhill
Did you have any issues with spark’s headset? Cap coming off or dirt getting inside head set Maike it noisy?
Hey, after each ride I just hit it with air compressor from the headset down through steerer. No issues. I clean and re grease once a season
How about the 2.25 / 2.4 air pressure you did?
Is this the Gloss Carbon/Red To Gold Blurred Speckle/Metallic White Silverl clr???
Yes 😎
Just bought that frameset - your vid helped me with the colour choice. Cant trust the spesh website colour pics they really need to sort that esp given how expensive these things are now.
Nice! Congrats! Enjoy it, and I’m sure you will love it.
😍 beautiful bike🤓 wish i was the 1 buying it
Can a 2.4WT wide tire be mounted on a 23mm rim ?
It can be but would not recommend it. Sidewall won’t be as supported. It can be mounted. Also clearance is needed on the frame.
@@addictcyclist Thank you for the information. I think a better choice would be size 2.35 without WT. I'm thinking about Rekon Race
fucking hell broo you talked to much where is the free hub sounds check at the end lol
nice video! thank you for the info. for sizing what is your height and inseam and size of your tarmac and ostro?
Thanks! 5’9” and 31. Both are 54cm
@@addictcyclist hi im 5'11 - 86cm inseam. should i go for size 54 or 56 on ostro? no bike fits in our city and i have a scott foil 54TT 50ST with 38cm dropbar and 120 stem somehow ok but looks small as my friends tell me
54 would be too small in my opinion. 56 and get dialed in with stem seems to be best option to consider
@@addictcyclist however its an integrated bar so probably just a ballpark with the stem?
Not sure. Would need to compare your current bike and geometry. Www.geometrygeeks.com
Just started testing TPU after using latex and so far, I have to agree with your assessment.
I started trying TPU again but with wider tire and lower pressure. That’s TPU sweet spot
@@addictcyclist I gave TPUs another try with my Vittoria Corsa Pros and they aren't too bad. They even let backlight shine through the sidewalls - pretty cool!
Xcelent choice!
beautiful bike mate, congrats
agree and I do have DA cassette which is the largest item per gram
virtually no diff in stiffness between sworks vs pro sl8. 100gm light that is it. what your feeling is buyer bias. but the sworks for amzing paint and the logo. that is it. fyi the size of the bb does not determine stiffness it is mostly on the carbon layup.
Probably right but the overall feel is slightly different. Standing up on pedals on pro felt a little more flat/muted vs springy and lively on s works. Likely no actual difference in stiffness other than feel.
@@addictcyclistI have specialized and the sworks n I noticed the same thing 😊
How do you know this? I've been trying to decide between sworks frame + normal wheels or normal frame + better wheels. The best source I've come across is an interview from specialized talking about using more 10r carbon pieces to meet 12r specs. But there has to be a physical limit on the shape and size for the 10r CF pieces to approximate the lay in the individual fibres of the 12r, the same way continous strand and short strand fibres work in fibre reinforced engineering plastics. For example, stacking a 0.2 mm thick 10r sheet on top of a 1 mm thick 10r sheet doesn't make it have the same stiffness as a 1 mm thick 12r sheet in all directions in a cycling situation with loads from the road coming everywhere.
feel like it would have been better bang for your buck to go from Ultegra to Dura ace 100grams vs almost 300. I've not ridden and sl8, but I ride a pro sl7 frame, and have ridden an S-works. Not saying I'm some Cat1 guy, but I do have a 1300 watt sprint, and can't tell an appreciable difference that I can point to and say that it definitely isn't just placebo.
I wasn’t chasing weight, was after stiffer ride and a cool paint job 😂
I have the Dura Ace / S-works SL8 and I can confirm he made the right choice. It's so easy to change groupsets down the line. Wait a little more for the next gen dura ace to come out, get the current 12 speed version for dirt cheap and voila.
Allez > SL8 Pro > S-Works SL8... reached the depth of that specialized-rabbit hole! 👀
Why that You think?
Hi just wondering what was your reference for the -1 deg saddle tilt? Did you measure on the tip if the saddle? I usually measure putting a 2x4 on top of the entire saddle and measure the tilt from there
Hey I use the spirit level on my I phone and i place at the first bump in the nose and connect to the area where my sit bones meet saddle
@@addictcyclist Thanks for your response. Will try that
Man switching it up more than riding it
Truth!
@@addictcyclist I respect it!
Isn't white one of the heavier colorways? that makes the weight even more impressive for the pro 🤔
It was impressive for sure!
I'm proud of you sir.
Music to my ears
What’s the dimensions of the cockpit?
40cm/100mm
I just built the exact same frame up with Ultegra. It rides like a dream compared to my Canyon Aeroad. Put over 100 miles on it this weekend.
Awesome! I had a 24 cervelo s5 and the sl8 is better in every area. I did love my factor ostro but the sl8 made me forget about it fast
Congratulations buddy
Thank you!
Love the bike & color ❤❤
How's the ride feel compared to the 10r frame? Some youtubers say it's no different, just the weight, while some on youtube and others like the german TOUR magazine say the sworks is just the better frame
I will find out today 😎
Beautiful
Dope frame!! *Team S-Works, 😎 #RobbArmstrong
Thanks can’t wait to ride it this week
Bloody amazing color!!🔥🔥🔥
