Great build! Keep up the good work it's because of you I first tried molten speed wax never looked back! Looking forward to an in depth review on this. Credit given where credit is due. Great job 👌
I expect the SL7 to route the cables/brake lines through the stem and headset like the Venge. They should have done that already. Probably updated tube shapes as well.
Great video. And the bike of course. I remember that bottom bracket was a pain to install :) I wonder why they ship venge with it installed and tarmac without. The 4.5 are great and don’t looks too huge. Now I’m considering them instead of 3.4 AR maybe. My question is what was that cassette with black cog? And I assume new brake rotor from axs are ok to go with previous red calipers?
I saw BB30 bearing installed in the frame but didn't see what bottom bracket that you use before install sram crankset, can you please advise what BB do you use (specification)? Thanks
@Ronald Kuba Awesome Video, what do you recommend to clean tires after riding outside to shine and not affect grip as I keep my bike in my house for the trainer too?
Hi questions, if you care to answer: With the Enve 4.5 AR, how wide did the tyre become. It looked like 28 mm GP5000? They fit fine in the frame? I have an S-works Tarmac and I've been considering Enve 4.5 AR. Nice video!
@@ronykuba Thought I saw Continentals in the video :) What tyres would you recommend for the Tarmac with Enve 4.5 AR. Cool to hear that the tarmac would fit 32's.
@@ronykuba Hi Ronald, was this installed because customer needed a 32t largest cog? If so why not the sram red Wifli. Does etap rear derailleur not work with sram wifli?
@@Rexuar no. He wants to try 1x and also upgrading to AXS will be easier since the wheel already uses an XDR freehub. The Ceramicspeed OSPW alloes for 32t.
With the new sram etap 12 speed would it be a bad idea to get sram etap 11 speed. Would the electronics become obsolete or no new firmware updates would cause it it to stop working as well. What is your opinion? I really don’t want the new etap because of the whole stupidity in it. And no neutral service would have wheels for me at races with 12 speed.
Hey Ron.. for this frameset, which one do you recommend, Quarq BB30/PF30 with stock BB bearings or Quarq GXP with kogel BB like the one in your video before?
@@MrNeurovegal The saddle is the padded version of Dila, and not the Lupina. The "padding" is just a thin sheet of faux leather. Not particularly comfortable unless the road surface is very smooth so only suitable for shorter races. On a grainier road surface I (75kg) can bear 1 hour at 25-28mph before it becomes a torture. It is very lightweight though, but the finish quality is fairly average. I have returned mine because the rails were 6mm x 8mm instead of the claimed 7 x 9, and the proprietary clamp on my bicycle couldn't tighten securely. For that kind of money there are better saddles out on the market. For longer rides the PRO Vulture has a similar shape, but is heavier, although very comfortable and 4x cheaper.
@@82vitt Thanks Ole. Actually I've got a Tarmac and I'm in love with my saddle (S-Works Toupé) as with the bike as a whole. But the looks oh that saddle caught my attention. I´ll stay with my trustworthy Toupe (my bum will be grateful). Experiments with something so delicate aren't recommended.... BTW 6x8 mm? That's really unusual as far as I know. Thanks again
@@MrNeurovegal Either a manufacturing imperfection, or more likely, they did that to further shave off weight, as most standard clamps will accept 8mm so people won't have a reason to measure :). I have got the Toupe too. One with red colour rails :). One of the best saddles I have ever had, which combines the best of both worlds - slim shaped and still very lightweight, but have just enough gel padding so I can ride on it for hours without feeling discomfort.
He mentioned this in one of his other vid on the gp5000. Basically he said enve recommends no because the lips are smaller and makes it hard to seal on tubeless but with much effort he managed it and it sealed fine.
@@ronykuba thanks for the answer. Yes I was talking about second hand , It is in my budget (almost the exact same configuration as the one you recorded !)
@@radut18 it's size 61, aero tubed, with 28mm tubeless tires on superwide aero wheels... of course it's heavier than a 47cm non aero bike on shallow tubulars
I thought it was your bike! Man, I don’t know if they are superior, I’ve had 3 sets and don’t rate ENVE, tell a lie, I loved my first gen 3.4s but the 4.5 were terrible compared to the Roval CLX50 and heavier. The latest 3.4s sucked so bad I had to send them back 3 times. Twice for manufacturing defects and the third time for build quality. I still run my 8.9 on my tt bike but I don’t think it’s much better than my other 50mm wheel although I am tempted in a 7.8 front
Very cinematic love it. I was thrown off first video I've seen were he hasn't welcomed us with the usual welcome to the work shop.
I don't :)
First video without any words and just background music. Also have a helping hand for camera. Good change for a bike build type of video
"Hi guys Rony here,".....
..."Thanks for watching and see you next time."
LOL
Amazing production value, Ronald! Keep videos like this coming!
One of your best videos.
One of your best! 🙌🏻
I like the new style of this video, really great stuff!
Thanks
Absolutely mesmerizing
This is art.
Superb way of getting the bearings in. With a hammer! Can't touch this ;)
The Tarmac is an amazing bike. The new generation E-Tap is sublime. Nice work here.
Thanks, but it's not new eTap
Stunning bike .. and music!
Finally a real Sworks Disc build on RUclips. Not those silly ones who put mechanical Ultegra groupset on their $5000 Sworks frame lol

Cool - like a prayer to your new bike - enjoyed the video very much 👍🏻
Very nice!
best video.
@Ronald: what kind of BB do i need if i want to replace the original sworks crank to a dura ace 9100 crank?
Pity can't give it more than 1 like. Wish im also as mechanically skilled as you. Great video!😍
Great video.
I saw BB30 bearing installed in the frame but didn't see what bottom bracket that you use before install sram crankset, can you please advise what BB do you use (specification)? Thanks
Ceramicspeed BB30
Greetings Buddy,
Can you advise on building kit tools and work stands used pls. Best

@Ronald Kuba Awesome Video, what do you recommend to clean tires after riding outside to shine and not affect grip as I keep my bike in my house for the trainer too?
is that Sram Red 22 hydraulic groupset?
You're a good friend.

You shouldn't use them with ARs. Schwalbe pro ones inflate to 32mm and they fit fine

Why does is the largest cog on the cassette black? Is it not sram red cassette?

@@ronykuba gotcha, thanks Ronald!
Nice one. Now you have the 5.6 disc and also tried the rim version.
Thanks, but it's not my bike, so I don't have, plus they are 4.5 ARs anyway
Fantastic clip Ronny and beautiful build! What size Conti GP5000’s are you running?
Thanks. None at the moment.
@@ronykuba still waiting and excited for a tubeless road tire video ,)
what's the weight of that setup ??

Hi Rony beautiful build 😍. I have a question. Is there a sense of buying second hand enve wheels or better buy new but cheaper carbon wheels?
Depends on the particular choice
Ronald Kuba I have 1600 $ and I am thinking of buying second hand enve 6.7 is it worth it or something else?
@@mateuszgajdulewicz1410 something else

Are those 4.5ARs ok with continental 5000s?.. says no on the Enve website...

Love it and almost #Perfect except for that unsightly extra fork tube length. Unless that has some purpose, of course.
Gurk E exactly, we will cut it soon, I needed to try the position;)
I thought the same, but understand. Would have been nice to have fitted him/her and chopped down the steerer before the final show.
Is it still worth considering this bike!?
It’s not made anymore.
@@ronykuba thanks for the answer. Yes I was talking about second hand , It is in my budget (almost the exact same configuration as the one you recorded !)
And the most important ''Total weight?''?
and free hub sound
7.4kg
Wow 7.4 is quite heavy, The Trek Emonda with same groupset, on wich Richie Porte is racing has 6.7 kg
@@radut18 it's size 61, aero tubed, with 28mm tubeless tires on superwide aero wheels... of course it's heavier than a 47cm non aero bike on shallow tubulars
@@ronykuba Great work
But why Ultegra pedals over Dura Ace
Carry over from the previous bike
Ronald Kuba ah ok that’s makes sense.
It's ur bike? (music in the video too hight)
No
Thought you would have rocked the new Vittoria corsa tubeless and why Enves over Roval?
Contis are faster. If the customer wants Enve, then I get him Enve. They are far superior anyway.
I thought it was your bike!

@@highcarbrider my bike is 49cm. This one is 61cm.
Ronald Kuba 😂😂🙈
Does it creak?
No
@@ronykuba nice. I usually don't go for over dramatic footage however I feel this was a good test of the lens and it was a pretty cool video.
Can you review some Chinese carbon bikes. Eg LightCarbon
buy him the bike and i'm sure Ronnie will review it.
He's not going to just buy a bike to review 😂.
I'm afraid no
The bike frames Nove are sourced from china for only around 400£. Was just a suggestion, but thanks for the reply
great content just improve on the audio
could use a more epic BG music, instead of this monotonous sleepy feeling one.
tfw your friend realizes a Size 61 Tarmac weighs the same as a Size 61 Venge just without all the aero benefits..
The Tarmac frame is slightly lighter, a lot more compliant and still quite aero.
