@ I’m a white British guy who grew up with West Indians in London, mum has a life long illness so lived with mostly black people, spent a large part of my life thinking everyone seasoned their food, moisturised from head to toe daily, drank nourishment and super malt and kissed their teeth! So your line was golden for me as I see it so clearly!
I was about to say I season my food then saw your comment. Too damn funny Patrick. Sweet ride so hoping you get out there on it more soon! I am heading to Chicago on business in early January and was thinking of taking a bike but nah! ❄ Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.
Made my day with this banter, dude - BBC stem?! 🤣 Great video and sweet whip. Can't wait for some longer-term thoughts after you've thrashed this thing for a season.
Thanks Matthew! Yeah man this bike is going in the permanent collection. It might actually be just barely warm enough to ride outdoors day after x-mas. We shall see!
@@PatrickLino No such hope up here in Minneapolis, but we can dream. Last winter I got out on the road bike all 12 months on the year which was the first time in my life that happened. Cheers, my friend. 🖖
For Reference: Tarmac Pro SL8 frame weight 827g. Tavelo Arow 1014g. That's just a 187g weight difference. Those No.6 50/58 wheels only weigh 1300g. Shimano Di2 12sp groupset weighs less than equivalent Sram Force D2 on my SL8.

I have a giant defy 2023 with ultegra Di2 12s, what is the gap like between your Magene crankarm and ultegra front derailleur?
@@PatrickLino I am not talking about the horizontal gap between the chainring and the lower edge of derailleur cage, I am talking about the vertical gap between the crankarm and the outer plate of the front derailleur. Since you had 500k on the setup already, I assume the gap is larger than 1-2mm?
Spider based power meters are lighter, cheaper, and have less rotational mass/weight than PM pedals. But PM pedals are convenient if you need to swap to various bikes. I have a set of PM pedals I take with me whenever I travel.
@ thx for your quick reply. I’m thinking of getting an Arow. I’m however quite tall 191cm and that comes with some weight (90kg). Is the big stiff enough for bike guys like me?
I'm 6 feet tall (183cm). Short torso, very long arms. Went from 172.5 to 170 cranks. I had to increase my saddle height about 3-4mm so keep that in mind too.
@@PatrickLino thanks for the reply. I also switched from 172.5 to 170, now I am thinking ever shorter to 165, must be the only thing keeping me from riding like Pogačar. Merry Christmas.
@@vincesorrentino7871 This is part of a larger discussion. But rider weight (lack there of) and the deep aero framed bikes don't play nicely with ultra light aero wheels. With that rider weight being the most critical part of the equation.
What spare parts are needed? Other than a rear derailleur hanger if it isn't UDH. You can buy a couple of spares when you buy the frame. You can always find bearings.
@ozgurinsan order extra of you are worried. But, I've never had to replace a seat post because it broke or wore out in my 45 years of riding.

When they wear out, you replace the hubs and rebuild the wheel. You won't reuse the internals anyway. That is problematic. I've never seen anyone just replace the shell ever. By the way, the spacers and bar looks very much like the FSA setup.

Hot it compares in your opinion to yours Yishun frame experience?
My Yishun is going strong. The Tavelo as you can expect is more refined on the road.
"It can be easy for someone who's new to my channel to think I don't push my bikes to their limits.... and they would be right."
According to a few folks you race with...you're not very good at pushing your bikes to the limit either. Without crashing or getting dropped.
@ can confirm. They get pulled before me and have the best view.
That’s a good looking bike - silhouette very like the propel
Keeping both frames is a difficult decision.
8:17 you are absolute right. Especially when you ride 5-6 days a week, you can just tell how different anything is.
@@ariffau truthfully no one questions my ability to review bikes at this point. Its simply a gentle reminder ❤️
@ however, if you review a bike after 19,200km you could how’s the bike like to live with. But that’s about it.
See you on the path 😁😊

Hi Patty, how to the No.6 50/58 compare to the CRW CS5060 on ride feel? I have narrowed my new wheelset to one of these two sets.
@@chompchomp111 Video soon come
Great video, thanks
How does it compare to Seka Spear RDC & Winspace T1550?
I have not ridden anything from Seka.
You should include the preworkout pancakes!
Next video!
Have you ridden the new quick pro frame?
no
Thanks once again for sharing bro.
Season Greetings. 👋🏽

I appreciate a you bro! Let me borrow some of that warm weather. Have a great week off!
which tavelo arow do you have the super light or the regular one ?
The standard one.
Looks so cool with the Elite Drive Helix…!!
11 out of 10 in aero looks

I have not had any issue like that. I follow the recommended FD gap Shimano's user manual.

Brooo what are thoseeee?! 😂
Real talk though, do you prefer spider based power meters over pedal power meters and why? Happy holidays!
Spider based power meters are lighter, cheaper, and have less rotational mass/weight than PM pedals. But PM pedals are convenient if you need to swap to various bikes. I have a set of PM pedals I take with me whenever I travel.
BbC? Big black cockpit?🧐
Aye yooooo hahaha
Is this the same frame as the Nich Legend?
That was the Tavelo Attack
@ thx for your quick reply. I’m thinking of getting an Arow. I’m however quite tall 191cm and that comes with some weight (90kg). Is the big stiff enough for bike guys like me?
how tall are you? What is your original crank arm length? I am 5’9 buying a Magene power meter, thinking about getting 165mm cranks
I'm 6 feet tall (183cm). Short torso, very long arms. Went from 172.5 to 170 cranks. I had to increase my saddle height about 3-4mm so keep that in mind too.

What is the width of the tires on this build?
28c stretches to 30 at the rim
Have you experienced any Wheel Wobble on those Wheels?
Nah. Is that thing?

This was a much more aggressive intro than I was expecting tbh
aggressive like my bike fit

Nice one , would consider this if I wasn’t so tight
tight?

Looks like a Canyon aeroad frame ,but Nice build bro.
Thanks for watching!
Good luck finding spare parts two years later.
Have brands stopped supporting their customers long term, or are you just having a grumpy day?
What spare parts are needed? Other than a rear derailleur hanger if it isn't UDH. You can buy a couple of spares when you buy the frame. You can always find bearings.
@ Obviously not as convenient as with a western brand. That’s the trade off for a frame costing at least $1000 less.
