Only relevant if its a UCI sanctioned event. Not an evening TT series
although relevant, if you want to participate in uci-events: the aero-cover may not be used. thats the only downer of the covers.

Disc shopping time!
Well, if all goes right I may start my build this weekend.
Ugh, I know. I feel like I'm going to get talked into it one way or another. Maybe I'll just get a sub9 and be done with it, then I'll literally have 0 excuses
(or maybe I don't want that) Actually, would it even fit this frame? I know they're borderline on some.
Post your build when you start!

I just saw proofs for the Hed spoke decals, they're going to look good! I can't decide if I should do "absolute" on one side and "racing" on the other, or just "absolute" on both sides.
I'm thinking the racing is implied, plus its a short word so the sides will be non-uniform if I use it. What do you think?

Sweet, looking good!
Yeah, the brake i-links won't go through the top tube, it's lined so it isn't necessary. I just used i-links end pieces at either end of the top tube to join the housing to it. I had to shave down the fitting that goes in just behind the steerer to get it to fit, but other than that, no issues.
I'm sure the shift i-links would work for the shift cables, but you're going to need like 4 sets to run that long length. Also, it seems like it would be really difficult to make sure you get all the slack out of the housings.

Glad you like it! Yeah, everything other than my wallet likes the disc
It certainly looks the part. I've got to pick up the decals for the front wheel this afternoon, I think it might look too busy, but I'm going to try it anyway.
Can't wait for next season now; I'll be putting a lot of trainer miles on this rig over the next couple of months. I feel really comfortable on it already

Awesome build. Looks fast even when it's stationary.
Got a couple of questions:
Noticed that you only use i-links for the brakes? why not the gear as well?
Also, did you run the links internal as well?
Thanks

It's a little weird, the rear brake has a housing integrated into the frame, but the shifters do not. So, the brake is very easy to run; just a cable stop before entering the frame and upon exit, just like a normal frame. Since the shifters don't have any kind of guides inside the frame, you have to run housing the full length. Basically, I just decided it would be incredibly difficult to get the i-links compressed properly for such a long run, run all the way through the frame with all the twists and turns, not to mention, it would be expensive (probably 3 sets of shift housing needed). So, the links are only internal in the handlebars.
Juanmoretime was considering all i-links, we'll have to see if he pulls it off! Any updates there?
