New summer bike

A blast to ride

S-works, good choice.

The s-works is the winter/wet bike Dave

I've had the Wilier about 2 weeks now to replace my Tarmac. It's a nice ride but I can't sit on it for a few days. I did over 140 miles last week in a day to Bala and back through Llangolen and my ar5e feels like it's been hit by a bus. The mistake was not really having the bike 100% dialled in and only previously doing 75 miles on it. Plus it took all day/evening and it was hot :?:

I'm having a recovery day week

Nice bikes! I like red
How did you find the wheels dj?

 

[gavintc]

Yep, those Kysrium wheels are excellent - good choice.

 

[djb1971]

Thanks chaps. Red is favourite colour too

Both sets of wheels are very good. I've had no problems with the mavics at all. They've done a huge amount of mileage and are still true even after lugging my mass around the crap Stoke roads. The join on them when new did make an annoying click whilst braking !!

The fulcrums are stiffer than the mavics and seem to get rolling faster with less effort. The Vittorias on them are not too good though and let the wheels down. They are very unforgiving and don't have much grip. I've yet to put the miles on them but they did fine on the Bala ride the other day. I'll stick some p3r or gp4000s on them in a couple of weeks, they give a comfier ride with more grip.

I just hope the weather holds out for a few more days

That Izoard is a beauty, nice drivetrain too.

I'm not surprised you've got a sore posterior. Those black inverted U shaped thingies on the wheels must be very bumpy

What S Works is it and what Year?

 

[djb1971]

nice drivetrain too

lovely campy carbon ooooooooooooohhhhh................... sorry had a funny turn there

Those black inverted U shaped thingies on the wheels must be very bumpy

They give the ' continually going over speed humps' sensation if I forget to take them off

What S Works is it and what Year?

07 tricross. It's poorly because it needs a new bb
my fat ar5e has over exerted it

 

[fossyant]

Vvvvvvvvvvvvvvv Nice.......... Hope they are covered and heated..... (out house ? )

Like the Wilier ! Class Machines !

 

[Joe24]

Very nice

 

[djb1971]

Thanks chaps.

In a workshop unheated but I check in on them twice a day

 

[arranandy]

Cracking pair of bikes. I've got the Izoard Pro and its an absolutely brilliant bike - I love it

 

[djb1971]

I love it

Me too

prefer it to my old tarmac, it climbs brilliantly. Money well spent
