Hello all,

This is my first post on the forum and I thought I’d start things off by presenting you with my latest build. Since I wasn’t building this up as a climbing bike as such and more of an all rounder, I actually forgot to weigh all individual parts (I know, what a rookie!) but I have an idea based on manufacturers claimed weights. Bike fit and adjustments to follow so that stem will drop.

Canyon Ultimate CF SLX Disc
Final build weight: 6,85kg (w/ pedals, Garmin mount and sensors and bottle cages)

Frame: Canyon Ultimate CF SLX Disc electronic (small)
Wheels: Roval CLX 50 Disc

Cassette: SRAM Red 11-28
Chain: SRAM Red 22
Pedals: Kéo Blade Carbon Ti

Bottom bracket: Ceramic Speed
Bottle cages: S-works ribcage II

Sweet ride :thumbup: ,

How do you find the Rovals?
Is this a bike you ride everyday, what are they like in crosswinds?
How do they climb & descend?

I'll be replacing my wheels very soon...Rovals are on the shortlist & I'm hoping to get some real world reviews.

The bar tape is very neatly wrapped, impressive

The bike is so brand new that I couldn’t give you a great review just yet but I’m coming from a set of Dura Ace C50 clinchers and these are better in every single way so far.

At 1415g they’re 230g lighter than the Zipp 303 Firecrest Disc and 173g lighter than Enve’s SES 5.6 Disc wheelset when built with DT Swiss 240 hubs. They're less expensive than either of these competing options as well so you certainly have reason to keep them on your shortlist.

Let me get back to you after a few more rides.

Awesome ride, where did you get that color scheme? I have never seen that seat tube that color. I am takin delivery of my canyon ultimate cf slx frameset and will be building with etap. Mine will be a lil heavier due to the quarq pm.

No, it's a a custom black paint job on the seat tube, inside of seat stays and fork. All RCC graphics are decals only.
