Here's my new bike. Based on a 2019 Scott Foil HMX, rim brakes, size 54. Total weight with pedals: 7,2kg
Seatpost height is huge, I know... The drop is 180mm.
But this bike was built with the exact dimesions of my previous Canyon Ultimate CF evo and it's how I ride a racing bike. In can ride 300km with this setup.
-Rim brakes 9100: DM brakes, they are excellent and optimized with the 9100 shifters installed. I chose rim brakes to keep budget at a reasonable level. I can use the brakes only once per hour, I don't imagine why I would absolutely need discs !
-9100 drivetrain: mechanical has still advantages on price, weight quality and durability. You can find a lever set for less than $400 and rear derailleur below $200.
It's also the lightest Shimano combination.
-Eurus wheels: they are very reliable, lightly aero... but they will perform on my next mounatin rides this summer. On flat, I'll probably use Zipp 404.
Upgrades:
-Rotor Inspider Aldhu crankset (powermeter): it's a good ratio for price/weight/accuracy (around 800g including these aero chainrings).
-CyclingCeramic 41/30 BB: my previous 41/30 from this brand was dead after 3 years/22000km. It's very smooth and life duration was aceptable (169€)
-CyclingCeramic OSPWS: my previous system was 3 yo and it was time to change (from Sram to Shimano).
Syncros handlebar/stem: it's a combo 130/400mm. Excellent ! Narrower than my previous 420mm handlebar.
The computer mount is K-Edge. Great view on data (it's where it should be).
At this point, at 20°C, i need to produce 250W avg to ride on flat at 36kph avg.
Tires give a good rolling resistance and they are 25mm wide.
Gears: 53/39 Qrings and 11/30 Rotor cassette. Shifting looks good and I'll see if stays as good as with Dura Ace on the long term (I love DA cassettes but it was time to give a chance to Rotor Uno). I ride alone and in summer, most of my rides will be at 33-35kph avg, for 2-5 hours. In high mountains I'll use 39*23 and 39*26 most of the time, which will be good for the chainline with this cassette.
