Does anyone have "waving" chainrings?
Both chainring have side-side moving when I'm pedaling? I don't have play in crankset and all bolts are tight

I know Specialized isn't selling the Venge as a complete build, but are they still going to offer it as a frame only option???

If you are riding Specialized crankset, you need to take the spider/crank arm interface apart and clean it, then reassemble, checking for proper seating. If that doesn't solve it, you need a new spider or crank. If it's Shimano, you need a new crank.

The Venge is discontinued, some bike shops might have remaining frames in stock.

Hi guys, wonder if there are anyone out there not using the Venge stem?

It's S-works crankset.
That play is not that big (but it's visible if you concentrate). Maybe that is even normal.
Can someone else take a look? Just put it into big ring look from above and see if there is a lateral movement between chain and FD.

There are some but very few in general, I’ve seen at least one person using THM Tibia on a Venge.

I want to replace my Aerofly 42cm handlebar with the 40cm version, but I cannot find any shops in europe that stock this model.

I am concidering to go with the Pro Aero Superlight handlebar, but there might other good alternatives to Aerofly.

What handlebar would you recommend?

Nice bike, is this a new 2020/21 colorway? I thought the pro model only came in the matte black (ultegra) and the purple? (sram) colorway.

Take a look at the Team SD Worx SL7 bikes.
They are riding Zipp stems instead of the matching SL7 steam.
Will give you an idea how it looks.

No, this is an older colorway derived from Fernando Gaviria's success sprinting at the Giro (winning the Ciclamino Jersey) while riding for Quickstep.

Exactly. 2019 Version. Was lucky to find one end of the season last year brand new at a shop. Same layup as with the S-Works

Hi

can you just check while you are riding if you also have that small lateral chainring movement?
