Look 795 Blade

[RDY]

Got told to expect a major update or replacement for 795 RS for MY23. They specified RS specifically, so I don't know if that means they're leaving the non-RS as is again. Regardless, I think they'd sell plenty of non RS framesets if they sold them at around €2k. But maybe they don't have capacity.

Interesting.

Anyone know the headset bearing spec?

Is it 52x40x7 35/46deg angular contact bearing?

Here you go:

Do you have a photo with the steerer top cap off? How did you fill in the gap? Is this safe?

Been riding for a year with no issues. I didnt fill the gaps.

Nice! You think the bike would work with a Deda DCR headset or the FSA ACR headset?

I don’t think those will work because the shape of the fork tube is oval, not round.

Got mine last weekend. It is a S in chameleon. Weight out of the box (but including Campagnolo BB386) 1173gr. Didn't weigh the BB but is should be around 40 grams. the bottlecagebolts are 5 grams. Furthermore the liners for guidance are in the frame but those should not weigh a lot.

Fork uncut is 413gr.

Going to build the bike with 12spd Record disc and Bora WTO45 wheels. I hope to end up around 7500gr for a complete bike without accessoires (computermount / pedals etc.). So the complete build (in rideable condition with computer etc.) will be around 7800 / 7900gr

And a few more pics.

^ token has a campy BB for BB386 shell.

You should be within target weight.

Delivery time for the Token BB for Campa was 2023 according to the dealer. Therefore I opted to go Campa since I'm going to use a Record crank.

So, the box says 'made in Taiwan'. I can't figure out (reading bar codes) where it was made. Does anyone know where these frames are made?

[rudye9mr]

They may have changed how they manufactured the frames and by extension where...iirc they went from a layup/resin process to EPS moulding.

Once it accepts registration for warranty, would not worry about it.

795 Blade RS ’22 & '21 are all made in Taiwan. Unsure of other stuff.

Also joins on that steerer look at best very messy.

[Leon]

I'm not worried about anything. I was just curious. Warranty is accepted by Look

What do you mean by messy on that steerer?
