New bike day, today.
I eventually opted for Dura ace which was based on aesthetics rather than performance.
2 hours after getting back after my first ride I find I’m still smiling …
Beautiful!!!
Nice!
I’m guessing it’s super stiff, how does it ride on the rough roads?
Coming from an old Tarmac SL5 on 25mm types pumped to 100psi and moving to 28mm tubeless (70psi f 75 rear) it rides smoothly.
I’ve read multiple press stories about a harsh ride, from my limited experience I think the ride is sublime and the roads around the north west of England are pretty shocking .
I appreciate that in comparison to other bikes the ride may be considered harsh but nothing else stirred my emotions as mush as the Dogma.
As for stiffness and acceleration, I haven’t the skill to determine if that’s the frame or wheel set or maybe a bit from both.
I had a feeling you are from the UK which is why I asked, as our roads are awful!
Thanks for the feedback, it’s a great looing bike and one I’m tempted by.
The move to wider tires at lower pressures definitely makes a huge difference.
That is still a lot of pressure…you can probably take out at least 5 psi more with no issue.
Tire pressure depends on you own weight (and rim width)…
I have 28mm tubeless tires, on 23mm internal width rims (tires measure 30mm), and have 4 bar (58 psi) in the rear and a little bit less on the front. My weight is 76 kg/ 168 lbs)
Just feeling my way currently👍
It’s a lovely feeling riding on a relative low pressure and enjoying a low rolling resistance.
