I Ride 58 on 28mm tires. I've riden Giant TCR on 25mm for a week in mallorca recently. Giant is considered as a twitchy bike nad it felt. Addit RC is totally opposite. Great and stable handling, giving lots of confidence on decents and sharp turns.Nohands83 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 27, 2022 11:58 amTo save me from scrolling through 154 pages, could any Addict owners comment on it's handling manners, particularly descending?
I have a Gravel addict which I'm very impressed with, so much so that I'm considering the Addict as my next road bike.
BUT I'm not keen on the handling of low trail twitchy race bikes, looking at the Scott geo (I would be riding a 58 with a 73.3 head angle) I would have assumed that would be the case but nearly all the reviews I've read say the handling is balanced and confidence-inspiring.
For reference, I currently ride a BMC Road Machine, which I do like but it can feel a touch sluggish.

Hi Guys,
I just got the Addict RC Pro frameset and just started building it up. In the headset assembly, there is a ~0.3mm thick metal spacer, which seems to go between the fork/bearing reducer and bearing/stem plastic interface spacer.
Does anyone know what that 0.3mm spacer is used for? Do I need to install it, or do I use it only if there isn't enough of a clearance marging between the carbon front tube and the bearing/stem interface spacer?
Thanks for any input,
Ivo

But the only interface between the rotating and fixed components is the bearing itself, hence there is no friction going on with this shim, is there? It rotates together with components below and above... My assumption is that it creates (or increases) a gap between lowermost spacer and frame

It's compatible, but it will look kinda ugly

You can mount it but forget the clean look. I'd suggest keeping factory Syncros stem and buying an aero handlebar designed for fully concealed cable/hose routing through the stem.dontpanic wrote: ↑Sun Dec 18, 2022 9:06 pmWill this handlebare fit my Addict fram (RC15 2021)?

you just have to go to a shop with one in stock and try it out to see how it looks.
in terms of functionality, I don't see why it would not work.

You have there a specific set of spacers to smooth the transition.
