Huge cracks running up your BB and seat post, have you had them checked out?

Very keen eye...that's actually some 3M protect film i did myself...not the best...but has protectected the frame.

I also have some on the BB where the chain may drop.

For reference..campy 12 50/34 on token BB.

@RDY on seatpost 3 from 2...any difference in comfort given #2 has an elastomer that supposed to help with comfort?

Looks you have a few more mm of space in between. I'll have the bike to my LBS to have a look today. Hope everything goes fine.

Hello everyone.

So last week I took the bike to my LBS and was able to dismount the crank and checked what really happened to my BB. The problem was that the previous owner, or his mechanic, mounted the crank with the 2.5mm spacer in the non-drive side instead the drive side. There was not enough space to the powermeter spin without rub the frame. I attached some pictures below so you can check.
















You can also check how much space I have now compared with before:

Happy you got sorted.

Hope the blemishes are just cosmetic..would look into some protective tape as a precaution or professional carbon repair if needed.

Enjoy the weapon!!

Thanks. I was very happy with the bike but that messed up the feeling and the vibe. Do you think the scrath may have damaged the carbon in a way that compromised and broke it? Do you think a carbon repair can solve the problem?

I would noy worry about carbon damage. That looks superficial. Just ride it.

[Leon]

Agree with Nifty. However, I would keep an eye on it.

Updated my seatpost from Aeropost 2 to Aeropost 3. Change my tires to the GP5000s TR. Also using a Bontrager XXX Carbon saddle. Bike weighs in at 14.4 lbs/ 6.55kg now.

Uff, I just love the wavy profile of the princetons.

Does anybody know if there's an alternative seatpost? The lastest Aeropost 3 has 32mm of setback which is way too much for an XS frame and the previous Aeropost 2 is nowhere to be found online and not in the Look catalogue anymore.
I'm tempted to order a frameset as soon as it becomes available but without a seatpost option it wouldn't be possible to replicate my current position.

I think Darimo were looking at it but passed in the end. Can't imagine it'll happen now as it's surely in its final year now before major revision or replacement.

Curious if anyone is using anything OTHER than a Token BB on their Look 795 Blade RS Disc?

Using campy bb386 ultra torque...no issues / approx 3000km

Just boutgh a 795 RS Frameset. Handling it to my LBS with the Campy bb386 to install, they told me "lets see if it fits, because Look's bb is slightly different from a 386".

Any thoughts on that?

[Leon]

I use a Campy 386 also. No issues.

According to their website : " The 795 BLADE RS bottom bracket is built to pressfit BB386 standards " so shouldnt be any issues
