Storck Aero 2 Build 7.04kg - Updated 14 Dec 2010

Tallboy - the spacer stack is made up of many pieces of triangular spacers (edges are rounded though) with the base spacer slightly larger. Very aerodynamic.

Posting some photos from my iPhone archive now - a bit dark as it was taken at night in my LBS. Will take more photos tomorrow in my garage

The stem's rear end is actually shaped like the spacers, making the spacer-stem area look like it is integrated one piece.

As indicated earlier in the build log, I was intending to try out the VumaChrono crank after the PowerArm SL-Rotor Qrings. I now have two medium distance rides on the latter, with rotor setting on #2 position which caters better for a higher cadence style and I do like the feel of the PowerArm-Qring #2 setting combo both on the climbs and flat.

The VumaChrono will certainly have a high benchmark to beat when I try it out this weekend! It could well be a battle between round vs oval chain rings rather than mere aerodynamics.

Installed today -



As an initial feedback, the KMC 10XL chain shifts quite smoothly with the VumaChrono-Di2 setup.

Now you got the SC 9 - are you thinking about selling that Storck ? (to me )

Haha Eigner. I can't sell the Storck Aero2 now as Faris Al Sultan graciosuly signed on the top tube - rendering it either valueless or priceless, depending on who the potential buyer is. Make me an offer on this one of a kind Faris-signed A2!
