T30 torx....thanks. I'm looking at my 21' fx sport chainring with my 58 yr old eyes (with glasses and headlamp) and couldn't see what tool to use. Thought maybe I have to change out the right crank, being a one piece. I'm staying with the 40t, if I average 16mph on a 2-3 hr ride I gave it a great effort with me being worn out.
Glad it was helpful. I had to call Shimano for the torx size because it’s not printed anywhere. A 16 MPH average over a 2-3 hour ride on that bike would be very fast unless ridden with next to no elevation gain. The best I’ve been able to do is the mid to high 13s over moderately hilly 15-20 mile rides.
Thanks, no elevation on the crush gravel and tarmac paths in Illinois. Got some 35 tires ready to put on just to soften the ride a little. Still have the original chain with 3600 miles from last yr. Chain gauge still showing some miles to go. Bontrager r1 still looking good also. I'll have to change out soon, plam on shootin for 7000m this summer. Happy riding
how are you liking this bike ? I really want to upgrade my fx 3 to this, but i'm on the fence to spend so much money.. but at the same time they won't be making this anymore. How much did you pay for it ? Is the carbon and isospeed and drive train good compared to dual sport ? Why did you choose not to get a drop bar bike ?
It's 9 pounds lighter and around 20% faster than my Dual Sport 2, but if you're going to upgrade, and don't want to spend a lot, I recommend looking at a Domane ALR aluminum road bike. Go for a 2 by something gear-set instead of a 1x11 like this bike has, and I recommend drop bars for climbing and additional hand positions to avoid numbness. In hindsight, it's worth the extra money if you're going to be doing a lot of road riding.
@@JitinMisra I do 15-20 mile rides in a hilly area over about an hour and a quarter average. It's a fitness bike, better for shorter flatter rides than a road bike.

@@bc67 how many miles and minutes is you average ride ?

@@bc67 did you notice a huge advantage with carbon and isospeed, in the ride quality (not weight)?
@@JitinMisra The ride quality is improved, yes. Go take one for a test ride!
