New bars. The jury is out on this one, not sure if I like them yet, but I only installed them last night. 3T cf top cap ordered cos the current one looks like a big red nose at the moment.

Sweet setup. However. Way too much electric tape on the bar tape. Should only be one wrap wide and only on the bar tape, not the bar. You've got almost twice as much as needed there and it doesn't look clean.

Example:



EDIT; and I'm envious of your Zipp 101s. I'd sure like a set for training.

I agree about the bar tape. It was my own messy attempt at re-using the tape already on my old bars. The 101s are nice to ride but I have had problems with them. On two separate occasions a nipple on the front wheel has snapped leaving a spoke dangling. The first time was on a steep switch back on a long descent. Thankfully I was going slow at the time so I didn't come off. The second one went when I was sprinting up a short hill. I have since changed all the nipples to brass ones as I could no longer trust the wheels. I would not buy those wheels again for that reason.

Finally I can say I'm a Wilier owner

First shot is of the Zero 7 with the interim (Rotor) cranks installed.
Second shot is of the Zero 7 with the SRM cranks installed.





I was going to go for the Rotor PM but production issues have meant that I had to go for an alternative setup. I was going to get a Quarq PM but then an SRM became available for a price which I could not turn down.

Weight with the Rotors installed came in at 5.97kg, I have not got round to weighing it yet with the SRM installed though I would imagine there would be very little difference.

I want the team ergonovas on my Gran Turismo but i don't know why they insist on putting logos where your hands should be with the Team bars. The Pro ones I had didn't suffer this weird branding, Annoying.

It's all about the incremental updates... new saddle and top cap.

6.94kg with this configuration, although those wheels don't get much use.

Wilier in the wild

Without looking it up, can anyone tell me what Wilier actually stands for? I looked it up and was well surprised.

Viva italia libere something or other.

Something like that. I am disappointed that there isn't a Mr. Wilier.

Mr Wilier?... p l e a s e.
Wilier = Viva l'Italia liberata e redenta
