Parlee Altum R eTap / R9150 Di2 / Record EPS / Super Record mechanical

God I love that color!


Oh yeah, sweet build too

[RichTheRoadie]

7.2? Really?
Mine is 7.0 with an SRM, aluminum wheels and 700x28mm tires?
How much heavier are the painted frames than the nude ones?

These wheels are circa 1450g, and the tyres aren't light. Alu bars, standard Red brakes and 250g saddle all add to that.

The nude one as in the non-R version? I forget the weight difference, but the carbon layup (and possibly type of carbon used) is different on that too.

What's that thingamadgig under the saddle?

It's a Lupine Rotlicht rear light that is mounted with the saddle rail mount. Fantastic light.

Interesting tail light. The Rotlicht certainly is spendy versus my cheap-o dollar store blinky, which seems to be 1/2 out of batteries every time I function check it. Ugh. Seems like it might be time for me to get serious about my tail light as I use it for nearly every ride.

Slightly off-topic, I run a low-end Knog on my bar on about half of my rides. Do you use for a light on your bar to get noticed, but not necessarily throw light onto the road ahead? If yes, please share.

Thanks

I either use a Knog Blinder on flash to be seen or a Light & Motion Urban 500 to see - both of which I mount upside-down so that they're under the bar and less obvious (I hate bike lights as objects, they're so damn ugly!).

Very very nice.

Now wearing a pair of Ksyrium Pro Carbon SL tubulars with 27c Veloflex Vlaanderen tubs, dropping the weight to 6.82kg.

Hmm...those bottles...

[RichTheRoadie]

If that's all you've got to pick on, I'll take it - 80% RH, 26*C at 8am, 80km and 1000m of climbing (with limited water stops) needs two bottles, and I don't stop for long enough to bother removing them for a pic.

[Wingnut]

Only teasing Rich...it's all very nice...

[aqualelaki]

Nothing wrong with two bottles. It just the color really stands out, compare to frame color (which is great)

Lovely

How are you finding the wheels?

[RichTheRoadie]

Ride-wise, the wheels are fantastic - really smooth, comfortable, yet plenty stiff enough.

Unfortunately, though, the rear one appears to emit a ticking noise when it has weight on it (by which I mean the noise can only be created when riding, not in the stand). Frustrating as hell, but I'm trying to get it resolved.

[guyc]

Bugger - I had similar with my Ksyrium SLR's and it needed the preload just winding in a little. I'm not sure you have the same hubs though. My Pro Carbon SL's have that on the front but not rear now....

[RichTheRoadie]

Yeah, same - the rear hub design has been updated.

Hopefully it'll be an easy fix.
