BMC TimeMachine Road 2019

[WeekendWarrior]

I see. Can't wait to test my BMC road 01 ordered last month. Currently riding TCR advanced 1 with Bora one 50. Hope Timemachine road01 gives me some 'free speed' due to it's aero features. Just curious whether repair kits on the storage box better or in jersey rear pocket. Any opinion?

I have one butyl tube, one co2, 2 tire irons,1 co2 adapter, 1 small multitool, glue and a couple patches and a tire boot oh a valve tool.

Just realize how you make your TM01 7.36kg, that's massive shave. mind ask what spec are you using?

Most days it's around just under 7.5 .. 7.36 is the UCI legal setup .. no storage box. Its a 47cm with a THM SE crankset. I've had it lower when I had CLX50's, XXX saddle, no power pedals, etc etc. Probably 7.2x. Now I like it the way it is and just waiting for Darimo to make a seatpost.

I think it is more aero and looks better with the complete storage system / snackbox mounted and bottle clearance is fine for sizes 54 (maybe even 52) and larger. Using the snackbox also frees up on jersey pocket, which can be nice in spring and fall when you need a gilet etc. more often.

Looking to order this frame online, but I'm worried about whether the frame has enough clerance for my Lightbicycle WR65 wheels. BMC says 28mm max width, but 28mm tyres measure ~30mm and the outer rim width 32mm.
Does anyone have real world experience of going that wide on this frame?

Ordered the frame after seeing this picture of Victor Campenaerts Timemachine with HUNT wheels that are 35mm wide.

Is there any stem-options with internal routing except BMC ICS that will work on the Timemachine?
Something like Deda Superbox or Colnago SR9, but in -17°.

hi all. I'm going to upgrade my bmc tmr01 Bottom bracket. Which size should I looking for? Its Sram force anyway.

Did you sell yours? So you would recommend the bike ?
Never been on an aero bike, was riding a Canyon Ultimate CF and a Caad so far...
Wanted to give the Aeroad a try, but because of the seatgate, I will send it back

Yes, I have sold mine. I already had an SL6 Disc at home that I liked really much and got the TMR as a teambike. Ultimately I couldn't justify keeping two bikes at this price level and took decision to sell the TMR, because the Tarmac suited my kind of riding more than the TMR. That said, I'm a 61kg guy that excels on punchy hills, who can hover arround the peloton at other times.

Other than that, TMR a great bike. Fast, decent comfort, a looker and really performant, especially when specced well. Try to get a testride on a TMR if you can and really think through your fit / spec. because those cockpits are a major PITA when you have to recable. Depending on the modell year the Dura Ace modell should come with much nicer wheels than my TMR01 Four, so that should also help in crosswinds.

Thanks for the information. It’s the 2020 DA Modell with mavic comete pro Carbon wheels...

Given your previous bikes, you're already used to a racy geometries, at least in terms of stack and reach. Take your current setup as a baseline and try to negotiate the stem / bars with the shop, if you need to. Replacement Stems / bars are extremely expensive and availability may not ve given at any time. If you get the fit right, there's no reason why you shouldn't like the bike.I don't know the wheels from personal experience, but 6400 EUR for a full DA build is a really good price either way.

Still didn’t decide, but now i got a new offer, same bike (well, the 2019 version), same dura ace di2, but with old gen dt Swiss arc dicut 1100; price would be 6900. With the Mavics comete pro Carbon Wheels it would be 6400...
Are the dt Swiss worth the 500 bucks?

The reach is crazy, the blue looks so good

[Tifosiphil]

Holy reach, 140mm stem and those pursuit bars have a 103mm reach don't they?

Is this the closest to legal way to get Obree's superman position?
