Any opinions on which tires I should change too? Light but good

That bar tape... Do us all a favour and change it to black please . As for the tires, Veloflex. No doubt. Then you are all good to go. Enjoy the (most possibly) lightest CAAD 10 on the planet!

[Fatbiker]

That is one light Caad10! +1 for the handlebar tape.

How are the wheels holding out for you? I have read several complaints about the braking surface chipping.

[giantdale]

I like the bar tape a lot and I like the wheelset you chose. That saddle, on the other hand...
Very good weight, though.

[cerro]

the saddle will be changed too, will be an FRM Black Hole or a Smud.

Haven't tried the wheels yet, not so good weather to ride a road bike here in Norway now

[RichTheRoadie]

Put green bar tape on - black will be too dull.

[Biff]

Impressive weight!.
What is the weight of the wheels alone??

[cerro]

The wheels a bit heavier than I hoped. 1057g

[Fatbiker]

Why not go for Tune Concorde? It looks just as nice as the FRM and it gets lots of good reviews.

[cerro]

Have a Smud that is lost in the mail. If I get it back I will use it, if I get compensation I will buy an full carbonsaddle as it will be made a seat combo by Berk Composites of it.

Isn't Concorde and FRM the same? Saw that Tune have stopped with Concorde. Could get a good price from Tune but as they don't make it anymore FRM is cheaper.

Sorry - but please change the tape !

[majklnajt]

Or white tape.

[Fuchspk]

Sorry - but please change the tape !

like i said cerro

but otherwise, it's a nice ride

[cerro]

Got my new cassette today. 11-25 Recon alu


And mounted a new KMC X10 SL silver chain. So should be 5833g at the moment.

Anyone have any good tips of light but good tubulars?

To go a little off topic here, what is your experience with Smud carbon? Customer service in particular.
I've sent him a mail a week ago to order some Thomson cradles and FD clamp, but still no word.

Back ontopic:
Seriously light CAAD, bet someone riding a full carbon frame is like when he asks about the weight
Once the saddle and bartape have been changed it will even look nice too.
