Picked this up tonight. I was holding out for disk brakes, but it was a screaming deal....Campy Chorus, Stages power meter. Carbon wheels...

That Bianchi is gorgeous! Road disc brakes are overrated unless you're riding in the rain all the time, and your bike is 300+g lighter.
Everyone knows the most important upgrade you can make is a flashy, but inconvenient to install, stem.
Bike Yoke Barkeeper 45 and Beast 25mm riser.

Did I read on here that someone found ZTTO 2.3 mm rotors for stupid cheap?

After the first one, the price now appears to be more, but still cheap af.
Wish they had 223’s!

I have a few different AliExpress rotors, including some floating ones. They are totally fine! Friends don't let friends buy $60 brake rotors.
But do you have carbon rotors?Quote:

Careful buying those rotors unless you want your bike to weigh a lot more
I prefer to slow down more than to weigh less.
no new upgrades/changes on the bike, but yeah I bought a new pair of Harley Davidson boots. Haven't tried them on yet, but I hope they'd be as good as my last bootsQuote:

that's all i got
I have two V2’s and one v3, and I can’t tell much difference in function so far, perhaps the v3 is easier to activate).
I am buying another v3 though. Tonight I ham-fisted a divot into a new One-up carbon bar, bad enough that I won’t be able to shred without being afraid of snappage. (I accidentally used a bolt that was about 2.5-3mm too long for the dropper clamp, oopsy). Expensive mistake.
decided to try that new Aspen ST tire for a couple XC races coming up, after putting it on and seeing the profile I'm just a wee bit scared to say the least haha
I haven’t ridden the ST, but rode some Aspens for Telluride 100 last year. Surprisingly fun. Wicked fast. I used a Tubolight insert and ran about 18psi. I should sign up for an event to justify putting them back on. Haha.Quote:

Running a tubolight as well, and it’s only on the rear so nothing crazy, still have a Rekon on the front for some traction. I don’t mind having little traction in the rear, sliding out a lot can sometimes help with two wheel drifts, or at least in my head it does…Quote:

Or you could check mine, unless you're set on CL hubsQuote:

Mag pricing as usual

Sent you a pm but I think 35mm might be too wide for a trail bike
Too cheap to say no too. Not sure how much I will use it, but I've always wanted an old school Yeti and a DJ, so I killed two birds with one stone.

Did my first ride today on my new (to me) 2021 Santa Cruz Tallboy. I’ve been looking for a while, and finally found a great deal for one lightly used and tricked out (Shimano XT brakes and drivetrain, We are One rims, Industry 9 hubs, Fox Factory suspension with Grip 2 damper, Fox post, etc.) exactly as I would have done myself. Rode my favourite local loop, and wasn’t disappointed.
That thing's rad!Quote:
