New year - New wheels First ride last weekend with the Mavic Ksyrium SLS fitted, loved them!
Got some 25mm Schwalbe Ultremo ZX on order this week so hopefully will be enjoying the extra comfort next weekend........
View attachment 41455

Now with added Ultremo 3 x Strava PB's on the first ride on one of my regular routes in damp windy conditions, on a Sunday morning, with a bit of a hangover (nothing unusual about that)!
So the whole wider tyres are better hype from my experience seems true, also a very grippy, confidence inspiring plush ride. Love these tyres!!!

You use it when it looks dirty or if you're anal like me if its mildly non-shiny.

New Year, New bike Fleet!!

Possibly the only 586 in the world with EPS.

Class bike, but there are other 586's with EPS.
I know of two myself and the later 586 frameset is also available from Look in a EPS compatible model.

You've burst my balloon!!!. I thought I was super smart having the only one, now I know I'm not so special after all.

Are the ones you know of conversions or were they designed for EPS?

One was purchased as a complete EPS bike which is how I one the framesets were available. The other one was a conversion which I ended up getting involved in slightly to stop it from becoming a complete nightmare. I ended up rebuilding the battery so it was internally mounted. To be quite frank they approached it pretty poorly and not in a way I would advise anyone else to.
I have pictures of the fit somewhere if your interested, I took them incase I was ever asked to convert one myself from start to finish (more as a list of what not to do.. Lol)
