Maybe look after it and it won't rust?

Mine's on 8,000km now and perfect.

Bottom Bracket recommendations for the SL7? I have a C-Bear and stipping it out the bearings have developed rust after 6 months.
Check these guys out:

Ryan helped develop the C-Bear with sleeve and I'm riding it myself. Only 1,5k KM so not really been able to give feedback yet.

Or maybe it is just team mechanics taking a pi** hiding some lead weights in the downtube? :D
Idk but the YouTube comments calling the sl7 a flop and all the people claiming their old ass bike is better because it's slightly lighter are pretty funny

This is exactly true. A couple of my friends has been telling why did i pick this over the lighter aero. I just answered : because its an S-work ImageImageImage

I think it's only included when you buy either the S-Works or the 10r frame by itself, but I could be wrong

Four piston callipers front and rear is an interesting (heavy) choice! It’s a large frame admittedly but heavier than I’d have expected for a 1x. What are the wheels?

It most definitely was not included with the 10r frame.

It was included with my 10r frameset, but I presume that's because the parts box was marked S-works.

At 100Kg going down a hill at 80+kph I'll take a few grams over a 2 pot setup. These are my 3rd set of RX4s and I've got some RX4+ on order.

Wheels are Hope RD40 - 1495g pair

Big bikes aren't light. And light bits aren't for big bike riders. 🤷🏻‍♂️
