2018 Trek Speed Concept custom build

[@luckyluca1979]

That, looks, fast, love the black hole pitch black!

[@ronykuba]

AnimalsAreNotFood hopefully it will go as fast as it looks!

[@CatCat-sz6iu]

Love this bike, I am currently using a Trek speed concept 2020 etap. Love it. I may have missed the videos but do you have any videos on nutrition or other exercises you do?

[@jtg5928]

yes been waiting for a video of your new TT bike or just basically your uploads lol

[@ronykuba]

JTG well it's here, almost ready

[@ianiscaratti4924]

love the all black look

[@Earage1117]

Thanks for sharing the video. Would you help advice is the axle shield included in the package? It's not in my package, not sure if it only happens to me. Thanks.

[@mikicastan]

This is one beauty Rony!

[@ronykuba]

Jura Stanić thanks

[@eduardoschumi]

Trek one of the best bicycles on the market.

[@ronykuba]

Eduardo Toledo probably yes

[@tobiasbouma4071]

Not sure if this is too much to ask, but I can imagine it will be useful for a lot of potential Speed Concept buyers: What are your body measurements vs. the bike geometry measurements? In particular the reach and drop are useful statistics. Thanks if you're bothered and no worries if you're not;)

[@ronykuba]

Tobias Bouma I'd need to measure that, I guess I could make a video out of this

[@norevlimitr1602]

Nice build.. You can use some gloss black sticker vinyl to cover up that hole in the chain stay.

[@ronykuba]

Norevlimitr thanks

[@billsedge7360]

The cables in mine drive me crazy with rattling, how did you stop it ,??

[@parasar_the_destroyer]

These bikes dosent have a break???

[@RickJonesAsiaB]

Which bars did you use?

[@EatMyPropwash]

I thought you said "Trek moved there factory to Iran" at first. 😂 whoops! My bad. Nice build!

[@wahidtrynaheghugh260]

Why HED? Weren’t your Zipps faster?

[@user-hi1xc3pn1e]

Surprised you have chosen trek again. Expected to see something new. Interesting to know your new results with HED vs old one(non-uci bars+super9+vision tri spoke). Going to order speed concept next week, still in decision what wheel and disc should i get.

[@ronykuba]

Костя Савостин the difference will be down to the position, if there will be one

[@kargs5krun]

Surprised u didn't mention why u switched to ergonomic extensions, as i thought u preferred the straight extensions like on last TT bike. Any reasons? Also, keep us posted on how much yer TT times improve (&/or training).....which is your bottom line wish we'd all presume.

[@ronykuba]

al karg I have been using ergo extensions since September. They are more aero

[@leopers9225]

What do you do with your old treks?

[@dom7215]

Nice to See the Build up! And to See a 1-11 Sram How hilly can you Drive with this did you can operate an 11-32 or what you think is the max?!

[@ronykuba]

I have used the same setup all last season, where I completed (and won) some pretty hilly TTs. 54x32 is good down to 17km/h, so plenty good enough. You can check on Strava.

[@dom7215]

I Follow you now on strava ! I am would like to See more from the asambling of bikes it's verry intresting did you Plan to Build a light bike? Have a good Weekend.

[@ronykuba]

Dom 7 thanks, I have quite some builds uploaded now. Light bikes are useless for racing.

[@jamesamyzacharyevangelista9963]

How is the 54t chain ring working out so far? Vs. what you used before?

[@ronykuba]

James Amy Zachary Evangelista hi, I am using a 58T PCD ring now

[@jamesamyzacharyevangelista9963]

Ronald Kuba, nice! That’s a sizable difference. Better chain line, I presume?

[@ronykuba]

James Amy Zachary Evangelista exactly, it worked well

[@3dfx243]

Where do you buy the foam sleeving for the cables? thx

[@ronykuba]

3dfx r2-bikes.com

[@ianiscaratti4924]

why do you measure the chain with the derailer and not like sram recomends on a 1x11 drivetrain? doesn't theyr method work with the big pulley wheels?

[@ronykuba]

Ianis Caratti of course it doesn't. I need a 118 link chain for this

[@jamesderrickfilms4641]

What height are you out of interest? Looking at sizing

[@ronykuba]

172cm

[@jackhammer40k_]

A Trek?! No way!

[@henribedford4438]

What happened to the aerocoach arc chainring

[@ronykuba]

Henri Bedford explained in the video

[@someguy9520]

always wondered how much a seatpost as aero as the one currently on you bike but out of aluminium alloy. did you weigh it? you did say heavy like a brick so...that means?

[@ronykuba]

I did not weigh it because I am not going to use it. It´s probably 300g+

[@nikoschrysikopoulos3000]

You should of got the new pinarello bolide. But it's super expansive so I guess the trek was a better choice in terms of price

[@ronykuba]

Nikos Chrysikopoulos *should have. The frame costs more than this complete bike with the 2 wheelsets for no real increase in performance so no, thanks.

[@calrc123]

Where can i buy that foam tubing?

[@ronykuba]

Cal Cycling r2-bikes.com

[@bruderrudiger9574]

Hey Ronald, i want to use squirt lube and i m trying to get my chains clean, but I dont get it really clean. I used Wd40, two tooth brushs, i laid it in methylated spirits and household cleaner, but they are still a bit dirty. How can i get it clean? (I dont have an ultrasonic cleaner like you).

[@ronykuba]

Der Übermensch rinse and repeat

[@bruderrudiger9574]

Ronald Kuba Thank you. I saw once, that you can speak a little german. Where and why did you learn it? Where you in Germany before?

[@ronykuba]

Der Übermensch no, just school and university

[@ianiscaratti4924]

the dash sadle isn't uci legal right? hate that sram doesn't do black parts like chainrings and etape or even force 1 derailer

[@ronykuba]

Ianis Caratti it is

[@mohammadalmulla3315]

Gogrstes bro I'm big fan of trek I just bought my 9.9 red etap madone projectone

[@ronykuba]

MOHAMMAD AL MULLA congratulations on your new bike!

[@phxrsx]

What did you do with the old one?

[@ronykuba]

adrian betti well I have sold it, unsurprisingly

[@phxrsx]

Is the bike faster with the draft box on it?

[@ronykuba]

adrian betti it should be

[@ighfirlee]

Those arm pads.. those are not from Trek are they?

[@ronykuba]

Manx Missile no, they are custom Wattshop pads

[@alexjrashman]

Hey, how tall are you?

[@ronykuba]

Ashman Racing 172cm

[@thisnameisit]

Sweet build Ronny👌,Rear dropouts are a bit of a joke on the SC but otherwise great machine.

[@ronykuba]

Sean Flynn thanks!

[@theylivewesee1674]

do you have any bike brand you hate the most??

[@ronykuba]

They Live We See how do you come up with these questions? No

[@theylivewesee1674]

I was thinking in terms of overpriced product for quality they bring compared to other companies

[@ronykuba]

They Live We See why would I hate anyone for that? I just don't buy it and that's that.

[@ThemCubes]

I just picked up this same bike yesterday! What mount are you using? I have a Wahoo ELMNT Bolt and I'd really like a way to get it between the bars.

[@pauliewog0820]

K-edge TT mount

[@ronykuba]

What Paul Hartner said

[@ThemCubes]

Paul/Ronald, on k edge website it only has TT mount for garmin. is the little plastic bit the same size for both mounts and interchangable?

[@ronykuba]

ThemCubes yes

[@mtovarto]

Good video, happy that by coincidence you using hed wheels. what tyre brand and size are you using? I got a second hand hed 3 spoke and hed disk with 23 tyres Continental Grand Prix 4000s II, so far they feel quick, and cross winds are not bothering on the 3 spoke, but the tyres look wider than the wheels, so I have to push a bit to take it out from the front breaks in addition to what I have seen about aerodynamics and today got a flat tyre on a triathlon :-(. Asking because. I am considering a hed jet 9 plus which could have a wider tyre to possibly make it flush from tyre to wheel. Also checking what tyres are available as I want to avoid another flat tyre on a race.

[@JogBird]

my 2016 emonda slr8 was made in usa, all the new 2018 emondas are now made in taiwan... they did reduce the prices though i dont think trek makes any more frame or components in usa anymore

[@ronykuba]

JogBird only the Aeolus rims I think

[@gabrielmesaric253]

how can you race elite races? dont you need to be in some cycling club for that?

[@ronykuba]

gabriel mesaric no

[@guzunivan1089]
