I want to buy a new bike, I’ve fallen in love with the white V3R S, but I need concentrated advice from the forum here. [34A81A00-A67D-4A1D-8ADD-E520533731BB] [B823D803-ABEC-4027-A306-E84484873753] I would like to equip this Colnago with an electronic SRAM because Shimano is no longer available …

It follows along more like this, though Rival is electronic Sram Red = Shimano Dura Ace Sram Force = Shimano Ultegra Sram Rival = sort of Shimano 105 (105 isn’t electronic) I think your choice of Faveros pedals is a good one.

Thanks again, so Force will my choice

Something to keep in mind if you do Red is Im pretty sure the stock power meter is built into the chainring and not user removable. When the time comes that you need a new chainring, you also get the pleasure of buying a new power meter (someone correct me if Im wrong but Ive heard this echo’d a few…

[image] fl33tStA: The Bike is already in the store, but atm with Dura Ace DI2 I’d rather have dura ace as long it was the latest 12 speed. Take note of sram gearing. They are using smaller chainrings 46/33 and the 10 tooth cog in the back. I’d personally want to source 52/36. The pros get a …

is of course a good argument, but I’m not getting any younger (52 years) and this raises the question of whether a lower translation might make sense after all? I’m not sure about the crank length either, I’m currently 175mm, I want to improve on the mountain, would a shorter crank length help?

someone snatched the Colnago I wanted from under my nose, but whatever, my plan B is probably better: Colnago C64 frozen silver SRAM Force but Red Crankset Wheels not 100% clear, but i get a murder price, they have a connection to a Pro Team, so Carbon Wheels instead of 2.000 EUR for arround 1.00…

What do you think about this Carbon Wheelset? [image] C50 DISC - URSUS

I dont want to throw a wrench in your plan, but did you consider Campagnolo for this C64? Nothing gets me more excited then seeing a Colnago with Campagnolo on it, some Italian on Italian action wowza haha. This is coming from someone who doe not have Campagnolo and has rand Sram for the last 2 se…

I’ve never heard of Ursus but they appear to be rebranded Chinese wheels with Bitex hubs. 24/17mm width doesn’t seems a tiny bit undersized these days - optimzed for 23mm or 25mm wide. Without some kind of exceptional warranty and support I’m not sure I’d pay 1200 euros for that wheelset. Of cours…

SRAM 48/35 crank is pretty standard although some endurance bikes I looked at have 46/33. It’s not a problem even for crits and fast group rides averaging 28mph. You can buy 50/37 or 52/39 or 54/41 for marginal gains.
