I like the gopro mount, what brand is it?


What wheels would you recommend?

The gopro mount is taken off a second hand TB frame from:

I ride zipp 303 with a 45mm rim depth. The 45mm rim depth works perfect for me. The wheels are aerodynamic, light, not to deep for riding in crosswinds. I even ride them in mountains with long descends.

But there are even better wheels than the zipps. The mavics however are not very light, not the most aerodynamic and sensitive for crosswinds (cause of the V shape instead of U shape all modern wheels have).

ENVE, Roval, HED, Reynolds, FFWD, all good wheels.


Any links to data comparing these wheels? The CXR's got some decent reviews based on their aero profiles from what I have read.
Would love to have an opportunity to ride ENVE and HEDs!

I don't have any data sheets comparing the CXR to other wheels, I was comparing mavic cosmics to zipp/ffwd/bontrager and that was already half a year ago, so I don't have those links anywhere in my favourites anymore.

The thing I didn't like about the mavic cosmics was that you basically have a alloy rim with a piece of carbon gleued on to make it high and aerodynamic, but the cosmics weren't stiff at all. Think the CXR's are a lot better tho.

Ok Just checked, saddle height is 80cm and weight is 7.59kg using Park tool digital scale. Additions since stock are:
- dura ace pedals
- 2xElite bottle cages
- Canyon Garmin mount
- a bell
Hi,

would you be so kind to measure the distance between:
  • tip of saddle and handlebar
  • Height between saddle and top of handlebar stem
