@@johnmilner7425Yup...just don't think you need to ride a stupid 5 figure steed to keep up or win, just cause the Pros do. It's the engine that counts!
@@marcdaniels9079 Cool. Well, sooner or later some rain will get you on the way. Just don't bother and enjoy you bike! Or actually take some additional care when cornering, so your tires won't lead you into some misery!
After being in the sport for more than 10 years and in the industry for the past four years, 2010s bikes are the best for me as the majority of them use regular internal routing, like this 2016 TCR Advanced SL. I'm also saying this as somebody that can work on integrated internal routing solo.
@@yonglingng5640 I've decided to take a risk and bought from Taiwan, internally routed, aero frame (2022) model for rim brakes this year (2024), and build a killer looking bike. Not to mention I've spent few hours extra to agree with the manufacturer (ELVES) the custom paint scheme. They offer it in the price. How cool is that? Delivery to Europe - like 4-5 weeks without additional fees. That literally made my birthday.
That's a great bike, I bought this exact same TCR for under £500 2nd hand and you're right about the positioning it's very aggressive and, even my own with standard spec and 2017 Tiagra, it's fast, especially compared to most expensive new bikes I see around. I prefer my old Propel though mainly because it fits me much better and I find it's faster
FYI: if you ever get shifting issues that you can't diagnose, it's the plastic cable *mounts* that go into the frame near the headset. You can buy new mounts (with attached 'internal routing' tubes) for a few quid of giant bike spares. Common issue with this frame - easily solved (I have the frame, have had it - and a close friend had similar issues!)
I’m also racing on a rim brake TCR but was the 2019 sl version, so very light and super aggressive . Mine’s a full dura ace 9100 mechanical that I’ve bought secondhand and the SLR1 wheels. Need some deeper rim wheels but love the rim brake feel.
I could not agree with you more. The TCR Advanced 2 small is my bike of choice. A climbers and descenders dream. Geometry fits me perfectly as a smaller person. The new TCR has tubeless width capacity of 34MM allowing it to be used for some light gravel. Love the shorter chain stays which allows for greater acceleration. Would love a Disc version. My climbing bike of choice.
Rim Brakes, YES!!! More AERO very reliable. We race rim brakes, discs are for MTBs, and we don't like the rubbing with the disc on. Rim brakes frame are coming out again bro 2024.
nice build I must say 👌 but highly recommend taking that £15 jockey wheel off. not while ago one of my mates got something similar from same online store and ended up in a crash. jockey wheels cracked, broke rear derailleur, snapped hanger and piece of the frame too. damaged shoes, broken derailleur, broken frame - and that was aluminium frame. you better take it off... its not worth the risk
I thought there was no 12 speed rim brake option. Massive surprise to me. Had no idea Ultegra R8150 existed. Barely any info about it online. Shimano is keeping this very low key it seems.
@@sloprun I was referring to Shimano here. I know about Campagnolo 12 speed rim and mechanical. Its nice that they still make them. Even though I personally will stick with 11 speed. No matter the manufacturer.
I ride a 2023 pinarello f12 rim brake and no issues with enve 4.5. I have been riding for 20 years and honestly most people don’t need disk brakes. Most people don’t even have a 20 mph average. So why disk brakes. Nice bike!
Respect for using an older model with second hand parts here and there and good luck this season. I think it'll be a few years yet, but I predict rim brake road bikes will make a solid come-back. 99% of road riders don't race, need discs or have the ability to maintain a hydraulic brake system. The benefits just aren't there for the everyday roadie.
Hydraulic brakes are pretty easy to maintain. No more difficult than rim rims brakes just different. Years ago when first introduced to mountain bikes I'd have agreed but now things have moved on considerably. The only issue for me wirh a road bike is the size of the hoods but that again has inproved over the years.
Sorry, but the pulley wheels actually look stupid. Beside that great bike you have. Try modern carbon wheels maybe? Pretty damn stiff! Many of them you might build on DT240 hubs for some extra cash spent on them. Like ICAN, Winspace, Envy or some other brand, thinking 40-50 mm deep section wheels. Not sure how these C50 wheelset was built, but looks dated a bit. Anyway, I've disassembled my old *lightweight* ultegra wheels from the past (WH-6700) - hub itself was bit more than 150 grams. So? I've bought for the same wheel some Bitex hub with press fit bearings and it was barely 91 grams for a front wheel. Imagine how much would it be for rear one?!
Got me at the start but lost me when you started to show all fake parts. Because with the money you spent on all the unnecessary "upgrades" (fake ospw, fake bars and bottle holders ) you could just save money and for exchange buy an upgraded ratchet so you would have all 12 gears. At least this is my opinion... other than that awesome video 🤙
Rim for road, disc for dirt
Disc for road, disc for dirt, disc for water
@@MisterCOM
Here we go again 😅
@@MisterCOM Nope! Rim for road!😁Can't stop? Slim fast!
Just use the brakes you wanna use and ride!!
@@johnmilner7425Yup...just don't think you need to ride a stupid 5 figure steed to keep up or win, just cause the Pros do. It's the engine that counts!
Yea! The TCR rim brake. I'm running a 2022 TCR Advanced Pro2 rim brake. Love it.
Thats beautiful, save the rim brakes
Thanks! Couldn’t agree more 😉
I just love how honest this video is 😂
"here's a heap of aliexpress shit carbon. I bought it because it looks cool"
hell yeah dude
I have a 2019 Colnago V3Rs, bout half price due to the rim brakes, and it’s an absolute banger.
Just bought a SH Cervelo R5 with DA DI2, Carbon Wheels and rim brakes for a great price. I live in Brazil and never ride in the rain.

long live rim brakes
rim brakes and a wicked mullet, love it
I love disc brakes, BUT have been ‘peeking’ into rim brakes lately Your bike is lovely. Maybe someday I can build such. A keeper indeed 👍
Cool bike! Long live rim brake and mechanical shifting!
Good to see people still using old bike models. Many bike models from earlier years are better in my opinion. Ride safe!

One of the best bikes
I have the same frame in blue. Awesome bike really don’t see a reason to change it for a few more years yet. Good luck with the racing
This is why I recent bought an XC bike…they got their brakes mostly figured out going forward
A sensible choice for running a good race bike without the excessive cost 👍🏽
I intentionally sought out a 2022 TCR Advanced 2 rim brake 105 build brand new in ‘22. So glad I did

I just got a 2016 TCR SLR built up and collected today. Its Ally but decent for a first bike.
Hell yeah that blade runner looks, so nice. RBC baby
I have a 2014 TCR which is lighter and faster than any of the so called super bikes of today love it 👍
Lovely bike How wide are you tyres?
On here, 25 or 28 depending on how im feeling. Ideally 28 all the time

For the 20 mins I lasted, yeah 😆
really nice-looking Bike Dude

What a beautiful bike.
Could you share the link for the handlebars?
Hey nice video. What tire size are you running and with which model of calipers? Thanks
what max tire size fits?
Rim forever 👌

Should be possible to put a 11speed(12speed compatible) hub on it no? 🤔
Sure, but this freehub works fine
Mid 2010 were the best carbon bikes also in my opinion
Have mechanicle disk on my gravel bike, and rim brakes on my road bike. I trust the brakes on my road bike way more.
Rim brake mafia rule ok
I don’t own a disc brake bike. I shall worship at your bike
Nice !
Looks badass
I thought there was no 12 speed rim brake option. Massive surprise to me. Had no idea Ultegra R8150 existed. Barely any info about it online. Shimano is keeping this very low key it seems.
Yeah they’re definitely phasing it out. Next gen will be only disc brake I imagine!
Campagnolo still makes 12 speed rim brake groupsets. If you shop Bike24, their prices are very reasonable.

11-32 ok for England! Not if you are old and want to do Hardknott Pass 😅😅
Which stem are you using and what’s the Degree?
110x17 degree

rim as sign of a conscious

Tim for the win
That bike belongs in a museum, but not on the road.
Why?
@@FullBeansCyclingCompanymaybe he means an art museum? So beautiful it's a masterpiece. Ride it like you stole it 🤘
So 120 cadence in a 50 x 11 is 69kmh. Good luck spinning that out. Track sprinters easily do higher cadence than that

you should rename video to 2016 rim brakes. its a 2016 bike.
@@MrBazsi888 What year are we in at the moment?
@@FullBeansCyclingCompanyquestion is which 2024 bike can accomodate a rim brake. you are showing 8year old frame. nobody will invest in 2016 options.
