Currently have 11/23 and standard on it as I live where it is flat. Want to put a compact and maybe 12/29 or even 33 so I take this bike when I travel to mountains. Have a compact and a 12/29 cassette in 11 Sp, but have to replace all things on another bike when traveling. I’ll make this bike have it all the time by upgrading to 11 Sp. I know, first world problemsImageImageImageImage

Very happy with the new bar. I don’t need the extra stiffness but I do appreciate the weight savings.

WOW! So nice! Could you please tell me the width of the bar? And is the THM logo a sticker or painted?

Beginning to gather parts to replace in my Look 595 Ultra circa 2008. Was originally built with Record 10 Sp, wcs Carbon stem/bars, Selle Italia SLR Kit Carbonio Flow, and a bunch of carbon wheels.

These are the first of many parts to replace in order to turn it into a Lighter (14.0 Lb as is) dedicated climber with 11 Sp SR Campy with a climbing gear. Besides, after so many years of riding with these seriously chitty brakes, it is time to safeguard my Life a bit moreImageImageImage

Image
Kalloy 110 stem with Ti bolts

Image
New bar tape for all bikes

Image
Rear G4 eebrakes.

Image
Front G4

These brakes will go to my C60 and the G3 will go to the Look.

Image
It seems the G4 version is heavier than ever before?

Heavier (175 grm) than the ciamilo zero gravity they will replace, but unlike those these actually stop the bike and don’t require re-centering every time you press the brake levers!!

I really like that Gecko tape, it has been holding up well for me.

Thanks. It’s the 40cm version which is measured in the drops. If measured at the hoods it’s 38.5cm C-T-C. The logo is painted and someone said it can be removed using acetone. There’s another thread on this bar and I posted some more details in the other thread. The bar is the THM Ulna.
