Wow! Congrats on the new groupset.
It seems that 9200 battery charger wil be rare or missing.
My retailer told me he would prefer to keep at my groupset charger waiting a second one backordered.
Do you think that in case of need i could connect my 9200 battery to another 9170 bike and charge it with the ew-910 port ?

They're making our heads hurt.
I think they got the aethos going already with the crux
Aethos = Aethos (poor sales)
Aethos + even more tire clearance = Crux (let's see how it sells)
Aethos + integration = SL8 (sales hit, no doubt)
Funny how things work

It most certainly says customers want to
A) ride what the pros ride
B) want a clean look when they spend the big bucks.
C) aren't too fussed about how hard or easy it is on the mechanic. Fair enough, it was never top of my list when I purchased a car.
Really we're talking about bicycles here, it's not rocket science to service them. There are mechanics with much more complicated lives that a bicycle mechanic

Exactly how it looks right now,

Let’s add,

Let’s keep in mind, when Specialized released the SL7 - they axed providing Pro Teams half the amount of bikes necessary. Eliminating the Venge and SL6 was great for them in the natural progression of new frame models. Likewise but not to the same degree with the Scott Addict, but didn’t entirely kill the Foil.dsk28 wrote:Sleeprequired wrote: ↑Fri Oct 15, 2021 3:04 amIt most certainly says customers want to

I was watching a specialized video on YouTube where they compared the steel tube bike at the same weight and same wheels as a contemporary aero bike. May have been venge or SL7.
They said the new bike was 50 seconds faster ...
They also said the SL7 was 42 seconds faster than the SL6
Does that mean that from 1950 until 2018 there was only 8 seconds of gains?
I can't find the video right now but I'm sure someone will be able to...
