2020 Specialized Tarmac SL7
Moderator: robbosmans
Which size did you get? I'm finding I don't have enough slack in my hoses to get any benefit from removing and twisting the handlebars. This leaves only the bigger box which allows for the handlebars to stay on. It seems like such a big box though. I think my trips would have to be well planned to manage this box.Visus wrote: ↑Tue Nov 23, 2021 9:20 amget a proper hardcase.

You need to remove the cable guide bolt from beneath the stem to allow for cable slack, then not an issue at all with twisting / manoeuvring the bars.

The Specialized Stix Elite can be coupled with a SWAT mount that goes in the saddle threads. I've mounted it backwards and angled a bit (it's an alloy piece) so that I can still fit a micro saddle bag underneath the saddle.
For the front one the Stix Elite comes with a GoPro mount - it's then mounted vertically underneath the GPS on the integrated mount. But it's just 100 lumens IIRC.

Lupine Rotlicht with saddle rail mount is great as a rear light.
I have the Buxum Ventoux box. It is nice in a way that I only need to remove both wheels and seat post then the whole bike can fit into the box. The protection it gives the bike during air travel is top notch. Given how much abuse is on the case, I highly suspect the bike will still be in one piece if I were to travel with soft case. But it is also true that the box is huge and you have to plan your travel around it. I imagine typical 5 seater SUV would have difficulties fitting it in even with second row seat folded down. It barely fits my 3 rows SUV with all seats folded down.jmomentum wrote: ↑Wed Nov 24, 2021 2:02 amWhich size did you get?

I have an H2 and it fits in the back of a Skoda Fabia/VW Polo with the seats down.jmomentum wrote: ↑Wed Nov 24, 2021 2:02 am

I'm using Garmin Varia light up front and rear Varia radar attached to the saddle with a 3D printed SWAT mount. The front light uses the Go Pro mount that comes with the OEM out-front mount.
I have a question on the BB on the Tarmac SL7. I ordered a 2021 Pro (1x Etap) which comes with the SRAM Dub BB and Dub Force crankset. I want to change this BB to something better and am looking at Chris King. Would the Threadfit 30 be the right BB for this frame and crankset combination?
Thank you in advance, appreciate it.
