You could go with XTR rotor, same tech as Dura-Ace rotors but lighter.Rider27 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 23, 2020 12:45 pmDA rotors I'll definitely do this (almost for look I'll admit)slake21 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 22, 2020 8:05 pmyep.
plus Dura Ace brake rotors
KMC x11sl chain (or other brand)
lighter tires/tubes (latex?)
some really light bottlecages
lighter bar tape
and if you don't mind it, cutting the steerer, maybe slam the stem
Lighter chain is a good idea
Tires are already quite good gp5000 and I don't know the tubes but some latex might be nice
Bar tape once this one is out I'll put some lizard skin
For bottle cage do you have ideas? Not to expensive and usuable?

i’ve recently built up a Canyon Evo frameset with a shimano groupset and installed a Shimano BB86 bottom bracket. Unfortunately after less than 500km the bottom bracket is creaking.
There are options to fix this such Hambini one piece BB86, Wheels Manufacturing BB86 screw-in adapter and also loctite 641 applied to the Shimano BB86.
For Shimano groupsets what bottom bracket are you running that is creak free?

I've got a evo and have squeaking from the c-bear bottom bracket which is installed. It was fitted using grease. Also had squeaking from the dura ace 92 bb which was in there before.probertsqbe wrote: ↑Sun Jul 19, 2020 2:25 pmFor Shimano groupsets what bottom bracket are you running that is creak free?
The wheels manufacturing looks like a good option, cause I really hate pressing the bb in and whacking it out.
It's a zip tie anchor, you pass your internal cables through a zip tie that hangs inside the down tube from that hole, it bunchs the them together, dus minimising rattle...
Allright.
The ziptie is inserted fully opened then all cables are routed inside and then the zip is closed to maintain everything inside it ? Do I understand?
Is water/dust susceptible to go inside the frame?
I found it quite ''ugly'' with these bottle cage as it's a big black area on white paint.
Yes, exactly what you just said, you have understood it perfectly!Rider27 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 16, 2020 9:49 pmAllright.

Yeah, water, dust, sweat, has the potencial to enter the frameset via that "port", and unless your frame is black, or you have a water bottle in there, i also think i looks like crap.
On the plus side, you can use common zipties, and if you don't cut them after assembly, instead just tucking away the tip/tail of the ziptie into the side of the anchor inside the downtube, next time you have to work on your cables/hoses you just have to fish out the tip of the ziptie, open it with a tip of a knife or a thin pointy object, and voilá, you can even reuse the same zip tie over and over again...
You wont notice it after a few months, everytime you put a bottle in the cage, that eyesore just "disappears", or better, it gets camouflaged
Have had this bike for almost a year now, but never got around to posting it. Not quite a weightweenie at 8kg with cages and pedals, but it rides really nicely. It's an Ultimate CF SL Disc (size M) with mechanical Ultegra. I Upgraded the tires and tubes to Specialized Turbo Cottons with latex tubes and swapped the Saddle for a Specialized Power Arc. Hope you like it.
Beautiful bike. some room for weight improvement on the wheels these dt are quite heavy indeed!okimy wrote: ↑Fri Aug 21, 2020 12:11 pm
