52cm Specialized Tarmac SL8 Pro Blue Onyx - 5.87kg

[Aryeh]

Less than 1km of use. Just doing some heavy braking to bed in some new pads I fitted with the rotor.

Wow. I've used mine for a few hundred miles now including some steep descents. I've had some warping but nothing like that.
I'll switch back to the Galfer.

Damn! I'm happy that I posted them here so people can be warned!

I went down today after hitting a pothole that I didn't see. I slid on the non drive side resulting in minor damage to my dropout and a very small scuff on the tip of my lever. I'm more scuffed than the bike but I was able to finish the ride strong and I'll just have some painful road rash for the next week or 2.
It was a beautiful ride otherwise.

I'm pretty sure they should work with new Red.
You can DM @SQUICCHI.

ordered a set. Thx

yes compatible with new red.

I will probably put the New RED on this bike. I'm hoping to get just below 6kg.

Hi,

Can you give me the size please of the round Ti nut you used in the clamp for the seatpost and size of the bolt please?
My s-works sl8 is ordered and want to have all the parts when i receive my frame.
The sizes of the round nut for the clamp on the sit of tipartstitanium are M5-8x13, M6-10x20, M6-9x18 and M6-10x14

THX IN ADVANCE

I used an M6-10x14mm barrel nut and it had to be shaved down to be 13mm wide in order to fit.
I found a flathead countersunk M6 bolt that fit because the head was narrow enough but most countersunk bolts have a head diameter that is too wide to fit in the seatpost wedge. Ti-Parts does sell a specific bolt for the SL8 seatpost wedge so I'd recommend just going that route.

glad you are ok. that damage is very acceptable! shit happens and no bike that is actually ridden will ever be pristine

[gurk700]

Gald you’re ok. Honestly, battle scars on a bike are hot!

Thanks!
They do blow up quite a bit
I wonder if a 25F 28R would be the way to go

I think it is. I ordered a 25mm for the front. The rims are 30mm ext. so I'm hoping a 25mm, assuming it inflates to 27-28mm will work better with the 105 rule, while also saving 40g. (My 28mm tires came in at 260g each).

Please update on the actual width once they arrive

28mm wide at 80psi. 211g vs 258g for the 28.
The bike is now at 6.165 with 40ml of sealant in each tire.

I just ordered the Farsports Hyper Carbon 24IW/30EW and just wanted to ask for confirmation if the 25mm GP 5000 TR TT tires blow up to 28mm with about 80PSI?
Orignially I planned to pair them with the 28mm to adhere to the 105 rule...

The 25mm TT TR measures 29mm at 80psi on those wheels.
The 28mm I have in the rear measures 31.7mm.

Thanks for the answer! Then I'll have to go with the 25mm
