Show Us Your Carbon!!!

[LinchPin]

How are you finding those wheels? I have them on my aluminium Giant and think they're great!

I'm embarrassed to say I wouldn't know if they're good or not. Pete at http://www.triathlon-zone.com/ helped me spec. out the bike as they're a Planet X reseller in St Albans.
At the moment it's all new to me.
At this time I'm just ignorant of the differences and as the worst thing on the bike is me it'll be like that for a while longer.

My new specialized tarmac carbon luv it

My new steed:
Canyon CF Ultimate SLX 9.0 with Full DA9000 (except the Rotor3d with P2M power meter)
Went for the VCLS 2.0 seatpost which is very comfy.
A few more changes to make, namely the tyres, which I will swap to my trusted favourite, Vittoria Corsa Evo CX.
May change the bar tape to black and the seat to black too.
Then eventually (after a bit more saving) get a set of Mavic Carbone 40C's.

Pretty light too at 6.5kg not including the seat bag and bottles.

One smart machine there, really like the Canyon's at the minute and those wheels look awesome. You will have to let us know what they're like. Enjoy it.

After the new pads stopped wailing like banshee's they really stop well, loads of bite and they have a cool whistle as you slow down. They seem very light and stiff too. I've taken them out for now and put my training wheels (Mavic Carbone SLS) in as I want to keep them nice for as long as possible.

They aren't carbon. They are R-SYS wheels, alloy rim, carbon spokes. Very light though

They aren't carbon. They are R-SYS wheels, alloy rim, carbon spokes. Very light though

Unfortunately not the R-SYS, they come in slightly higher up the range. These are the Kysrium SLR's, they are the same rim as the R-SYS, but with an alu hub not the carbon one the R-SYS uses, and partial carbon spokes not the full carbon on the R-SYS. Only about 115g heavier but £400 cheaper. 1410g compared to 1295g for the R-SYS.

The Exalith2 coating on the brake track is what gives the really cool whistle noise.....

 

[fossyant]

Ah thought they were either R-Sys or top end Ksyriums with the rims. Couldn't tell from the photo. The Matt black rims give them away.

I used to have a full carbon kestrel talon.

 

[SLICE OF HEAVEN]

My old bike. Had to upgrade a bit. Kestrel talon 's are comfy bikes though.

My 675 Light, need to ditch that rubbish Chinese saddle though, integrated stem is love or hate, generally 'love' when viewed in the flesh.
