DMT KRO

So far so good.
Damn you. I get more and more tempted to get these everytime I see pictures like that but unsure how the knit exterior will fair over time. Seems like I would wear the same size as my Shimano SH-RC902 S-Phyres.
These will be road only, fair weather only shoes! I wear a 45 Bontrager, 45.5 sidi. These are a 45 and are spot on. To be honest the only reason I got a pair was because my local shop started to stock them, was able to try on multiple sizes.

I also bought the KR0 when i saw they're finally available in white. Comfort is awesome but unfortunately the heel retention is the worst i ever experienced. The grip insert are so low and the material isn't tight enough at the top to actually do anything for locking in the heel.

Agree. Sent KRSL straight back. Awful shoes (for my feet).

Thanks for that feedback. Definitely helps with the decission as my Shimano S-Phyres have the best heel retention when comparing between Sidi Shot and Suplest Edge+ Pro all in size 42.

225grams without mount 420/100mm

So sexy how can I possibly put bar tape on this.
That's very impressive. Will that combo work with a frame with non-round spacers such as the Factor Ostro?
I am not sure. I know with the Time I am not able to "slam" the stem due to the angle of stem clamp bolt. I would have to use a 5mm spacer under.

Had GRX Di2 group set fitted to my Topstone Alloy. Not a flyweight but better then quite a few higher end carbon gravel bikes. Weight is with cages and pedals

I asked tubolito if I should bend my slightly bent valve or chuck it (didn't want it to break when I needed to use small pump with a bit of leverage) they replied back with a coupon so I received a free tube. I need to share product code of old one when I replace. Result and thanks tubolito !

Juin Tech GT for some tuning/weight savings thanks to the information contributed by you guys. Got Ashima Aineon 160mm rotors and Aican Bungarus brake cables too.

The excellent Lucendi also made and sent me a bunch of bar end plugs for naked bars in slightly different sizes, with one of his homemade bike stand too. Super stoked to get them, great generosity from him to help us all in our never ending weight saving quest Image

Are these going on your Factor O2? Curious how the cable routing will go. I just picked up a new VAM for a reasonable half off retail and may do the same.

Congrats and welcome to the club I just left it at the LBS for installation on my O2 VAM and will pick it up after a few hours. Will update in my intro thread about it!

A well spent 30€, I should have done it ages ago. Gives the answer to adjust the position, ensure saddle, seat back, levers are absolutely perfect or take measurement between 2 bikes. Image

Yes but as these were designed for stationary objects/building etc you need to replicate a perfect vertical position of your movable bike each time :wink:

dont really see the point of using a visible bike stand, isnt the whole point of using this somewhat risky stands of being "hidden" in the photo?
