Hi, it's much stiffer and lighter in my experience, the quick corners better too. The winspace is good for a straight line but this does everything well!

@TheXiamenCyclingFeed thanks 🙏🏽 it helps)

@@znalniaskas it is very stiff and excellent for power transfer, I regularly do long rides (3 - 5 hours) on it too with up to 2000m of climbing and it's fine for comfort with 28mm tubeless tyres, currently on 28's but will probably change to 30's soon for a bit of extra cushion.

@TheXiamenCyclingFeed thanks for the reply. Yeah, my rides are similar in Length and altitude gain. Should probably work with a 30mm tire set-up

28 front 30 or 32 rear

Do you have experience with the SL8 or Sworks tarmac? How does this compare?

@@bobareturned Unfortunately I don't have experience riding either of those

@@Eirikkinserdal It's great 🤣

Took just under a year to get this ready for retail, the ER one might be a good few months still, it's looking incredible though and the guys are racing it here to test it

@@Bathi666 Thanks!

Wheels $1680, Frame $1999, bars $300 + Groupset (Not sure how much Shimano costs in your area), can add another $900 if you want the Cybrei cranks/chainrings and power meter (can sell the UT crank to make back some money).

@@TheXiamenCyclingFeed Thanks! Thats a bit too much for me. Do you have any recommendations for a frame around 800 euros?

@@99944 The one Hambini reviewed recently is a good shout for a more affordable option, from Light Carbon if I'm not mistaken.

@@99944 $800 (Lightcarbon LCR017D)

@@99944i confirm fabulous quality for the price from LIGHTCARBON. Bought their gravel frame with 53c tire clearance and it is FLAWLESS (under $800 with integrated handlebars!!)

Thanks! They're ridden a bit by sponsored teams but I almost never see guys riding them outside of that situation. When I've been riding around Xiamen or at races I seldom see them. Might be different in othert cities.

@@TheXiamenCyclingFeed They recently opened 5 shops in Chengdu

@@glennicol1361 There we go, it must be more popular in other cities than Xiamen, most I've seen of it is trade show videos on KZbin

🤣 , this thing feels very aggressive at the weight!

😂😂

Haha cool name😅, but about that that sworks frame. It is a little bit more expensive i think 😊

@@PepsFTW Thanks, it's been rad so far!

It's got the same reach (391mm) as the Tavelo Arow, but it's 7mm taller with 552mm compared to 545mm stack on the Tavelo, plus I have a little extra stack from that spacer to run those bars, so I'm happy with the height of the front end. I could have also chosen a size M and run spacers to get the stack correct but this setup now with the zero offset seatpost is perfect for me.

Do it, I have no regrets!

Should’ve tried an Allez sprint

Stack, Reach ETT (Effective top tube) I usually find out how long I need my bike to be by using ETT+(stem length) and I find out how high my handlebarsshould be using stack height. There are other ways to do it but this one works for me. I compare thiis to my previous bike fit that worked for me. To find the size that has your measurements use the geometrygeeks website

@@ronb9901 No doubt! It's a winner

@@kierenkd happy you made it here haha 😅

@@TheXiamenCyclingFeed Me too - quality content!

Hi, its one of the wheeltop EDS groupsets (electronic chinese brand) it was working great for a while but it became unreliable later on so I have put 11 speed Ultegra on it now. I do mostly run it tubeless. Unfortunately I didn't weigh it before the upvgrades but I guess between 8.5 - 9 kg.

@@TheXiamenCyclingFeed thanks for replying. Which part of the EDS made it unreliable? Thanks.

@@scuzzyboy the front mech, I had issues getting it to shift smoothly, the rest was actually pretty good on this rim brake version

Good luck! They're a treat

I agree the bike can easliy get down to 7KG an that would be rad but unfortunately don't have the budget, this is my bombproof ride, so I don't mind the weight a little heavier

Hi, so I have had trouble with the front mech, the rear mech is incredible but the front mech is incinsistent and difficult to keep working as intended. I have actually changed this buke to be Ultegra mechanical.

Don't be.

Hey man add my wechat, Ill let you know everything you need to JM164239

I've got 25mms on there at the moment, love a CAAD

CAAD 8 is a very good frame, 4/5/6/7s with the silly cut out at the rear drop outs break there. I ride CAAD 3s, all on either D/A 7700 or 7800 & C24s. We get a lot of wind. I got a gift just a couple of days ago, a mint unused set of DT Swiss PR1400 Oxic, 13mm profile, on 36T ratchet 240S hubs, $440 Aussie, with a new D/A cassette & new Schwalbe Pro Ones'.

Hows the responsiveness of it compared to the ssevohm?

Very nice Michael, & you'd have got a good deal on the 7800 in 2013. Best group Shim ever made, mind you I much like the 7700 too. I love my CAAD 3s, all on 7700 & 7800 & C24s.

@@Unknownmanufacturer Neither are better than the other, just a bit different. Love them both, they are both great bikes.

@@returnofthenative This frame, the C-24s and the DA group are a killer combo for hills, and not bad on the flat either.

The paintjob was originally what caught my attention, I needed to have it! The bike is awesome too.

I live in China, plenty available here, not sure about where you live, sorry man

I live in India. Any leads to where I can find them? some website? @@TheXiamenCyclingFeed

Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and OfferUp are the best places IMO. In 2022, one of my riding buddies bought a 2011 CAAD10 with 105 that was a garage queen. Even had the original garbage Schwalbe tires in like new condition. The bike came with a computer that had 86 miles on the odometer. Customer showed the purchase receipt that stated he purchased the computer and SPD pedals when he bought the bike. My buddy bought it from the seller for $450. He's still pleased with it. It's a 54 cm and while he had a bike fit done, I think a 52cm would've been better for him. After about 70 miles, he starts to feel it. Now he's looking for a 52 and is struggling to find one for sale too.

Yeah thats me haha

I've not tried on mine but I've heard it's possible and looks to be plenty of clearance on my size 52 frame

Hi, updated comment, I have now got 21mm internal width rims with 28mm Pirelli tyres and they fit easily

It's on the way!
