Specialized - Aethos 2021 - 4.96 kgs

[idinfo68]

Hello,

My last build, similar as my old Ax-Lightness with Lighweight Obermayer wheels but very most confortable...

Wow! And even with cooling fins on the brakepads

Like many of your bikes over the years, I appreciate the coherence of the build. This one is quite a remarkable performance since there are light but nothing « out of this world » components (the cassette maybe and the chainrings being the only 2 elements that won’t last on a long run?).

[Prawn]

Aesthetics - tick. Weight - tick. Detailed component breakdown of components and their weight - tick. Thanks @idinfo68

[Kimmoth]

Whoah. Nice

[gurk700]

That cassette is ridiculous! Hope it doesn't melt in couple rides
Otherwise SOLID

Ok for the cassette but no worries with the chainrings that I use on all my bikes without worrying over time...

Curious to know if you've actually weighed the whole bike or your maths is just the sum of the parts weighed individually?

Just thinking whether the grease, brake fluid, air in tyres etc. have been accounted for and it is really sub 5kg? (not to put a downer on a fantastic build!!)

[idinfo68]

Hello,

All parts accurately weighed before final assembly.
3 weighings to check the final rolling weight

Nice build, really nice selection of components.

How do you find the rotors? I've read that the titanium version destroys pads pretty quickly

[idinfo68]

Not especially, just a little louder...

[poulhansen]

AND with discs and DI2!

Superbe Richard as always

This is a fabulous build. Really can't get any lighter without affecting reliability
