If it wasn't for the crappy cap, I would have had that bar long time agoice29 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 30, 2021 3:35 pmThere is also a fake Syncros Creston IC SL on Aliexpress now, for around 100$... Bought it for a friend who is a bit of a penny-pincher, you can see/feel it's not the same quality, but also not that bad (I have an original Creston IC SL on my Addict).. Will see if it breaks under him (84kg) The only thing that looks really "ugly" is the stem cap... The plastic it's made of is already a bit rough and it's not smooth transition from handlebar to the cap (the problem here is the bar, you can see it is a raw carbon that has been painted with matte paint which is a bit too thick, where the edge for the cap should be...)

I guess he was being sarcastic
Finally got the chance to do some measurements. As far as I can tell, the bar/stem + 8mm is equivalent to a standard -6° stem (40 mm stack height), but I might be 1-2 mm off.
Basically the 8 mm headset cover should be considered part of the stem when calculating the stack and not counted as a spacer.
That's a mandatory spacer. The same with almost every brand. Unfortunately, brands do not clearly state that height and people have to search around to find out. As my wife says "for the prices they charge, the cycling industry provides a terrible job informing and attending to their customers".efl wrote: ↑Sun Aug 01, 2021 1:17 pmFinally got the chance to do some measurements.

Anyone run a 30mm tire on their Addict RC? How's the clearance like and any rubbing on the frame?

Maybe a stupid question, but is the matte part on the top tube (2021 RC20 and probably others) just a sticker? It sure feels like it.
The reason im asking is because i want to install some helicopter tape for protection against rub from a framebag and im afraid it would peel the sticker off, once I remove it.
