Thank you, got some 60mm from Dynamic installed already. I guess it's bare minimum, but my both pumps do work with it

[BigBoyND]

A lot of pumps won't work with that.

60mm rims should get 75mm+ valves.

Correct, the questions was about 50mm rims.

[BigBoyND]

Sorry, then 50mm rims should get 65mm+ valves (15mm longer). Even that can be a close call with some pumps.

Right, but 65mm valves are quite rare. And with 60mm I am not running any risk of bending or braking the valve/core now. Looks great and works well both with the hand, floor and electrical pums I've got.

I've got 60mm Muc Off valves in my 47mm wheels. Going to try them in my Farsports 50mm wheels too, but it shouldn't be an issue I think.

If anyone is curious about new Wahoo Ace - it should fit Aeroad stock mount (based on https://velo.outsideonline.com/road/roa ... -computer/):

Speaking of mounts, there is a guy in Germany who advertises as LionsThreeD in the Aeroad Facebook group. I've just received my mount from him which puts the Garmin flat. I don't like how the Canyon one points upward with the stem angle.

Finished my 'build'. I wanted an Ultegra build but with groupset prices as they are at the moment (full Ultegra 8100 for less than £1200 new) it made more sense to get the SLX 7 AXS and swap out the groupset and wheels. Plus, I love tinkering with stuff and making it my own, so the prospect of getting a bike, completely stripping it and re-building with a few upgrades is almost as exciting as riding it for me. All in after selling the Sram groupset and DT Swiss wheels it's cost me just under £4800, which I think is pretty good compared to a) any other 'premium' brand on the market, and b) the stock Ultegra build from Canyon at £5999 (before box, shipping etc). The only thing to consider when comparing to the SLX 8, is that comes with a PM (which I didn't need), but the price difference is still big enough that you could buy whatever one you wanted any still be better off.

Looks great, can’t wait to ride mine once the weather is warmer.

I've managed one short spin on it, thanks British winter

I have been able to get some time on it on the trainer though, so I know the fit is good. It's my first bike for ~5 years with Shimano, so I was a bit concerned about the fit given all the differing shifter lengths, but it feels spot on so that's a releif!

I managed 17miles on it before winter came. Then I upgraded the crankset.

To be fair, that price difference seems about right when removing a PM and having Chinese wheels instead of DT. I wouldn't consider that better value for money (but saving money nonetheless).

So, which would you guys get?

The CF SLX 8:

-With R8100 and DT ARC 1400s ($6000)
-With Force and Zipp 404s ($6500)

Or the CF SLX 7 with Rival and ARC 1600s ($4800)
