2020 Trek Speed Concept - 1x TT bike build

[@hestkjaer]

I have the 56T NW chainring from Wattshop and use it without a chaincatcher.. My bike is almost the same, just made with DI2 - 1 button on both brakes and bar + with 3 spoke front wheel and disc(UCI setup). And long derraileur on back.. I have never lost the chain with that setup :) What I find special about the Trek SC rim brake TT bike is.. IT CAN ACUALLY BRAKE!! My Fuji and several Cannondale miss that part. And in the search for seconds, cornering with confidence can easily make you win a second ;)

Hi Ronald, great videos. I just bought that frame… for small fame what size is that seat post? And what kogel bearing is those? They are good? Thanks!

[@pae18sg]

You should go for the shortest, 275mm seatpost length. Next size is 335mm, which is too long even for a medium frame. If you opt for the 15mm offset & intend to install it in the forward position, read & follow the manual carefully on the instruction to mount the saddle. Else, the clamp screw will snap in no time. Good luck!

Where do you get the dummy plug for the 1x setup?

[@ronykuba]

Wattshop

[@marcus101279]

Is it possible to upgrade it with a Ultegra Di2? Is the bike Di2 ready? Is there a box out of a 3D printer install right above the main drive?

[@ronykuba]

Yes

[@rimbraketakesthewin7846]

when do you think trek will update this frame, cause im in the search to buy a tt bike, and i dont want to buy this one and then next year a new faster version comes out... with your experience will this update on frame will happen soon ?

[@ronykuba]

Hard to say. The update is long overdue.

[@rimbraketakesthewin7846]

@@ronykuba i really like the speed concept in terms of the look and for the cost $$$. I like the new orbea ordu as well but it has a storage unit on the down tube that is not uci legal, i read if its removed yes it will be legal, but i wanna see if by removing that storage unit if it does not affect the look of the bike and aero performance because orbea says that that storage unit saves you 2 watts. ill just need to wait and see whats the best option for me. for now i stick with my madone and hope for the best.

[@bevanjones9457]

How do you get the bar tilt and is the set screw still at the rear 👍 thanks

[@pae18sg]

It's all written in trek speed concept's manual.

[@rimbraketakesthewin7846]

can you give your opinion on the new Orbea Orca Ordu ? Also what difference you find with your s works shiv disc break and trek speed concept rim break

[@ronykuba]

Looks like a good bike. Everything is different between the Shiv and the Speed Concept, not sure what do you mean there

[@rimbraketakesthewin7846]

@@ronykuba why you change from speed concept to shiv ? Does disk break make any difference positive or negative, did you notice in terms of performance ? with what of the two tt bikes you get the best time ?

[@ronykuba]

@@rimbraketakesthewin7846 it's faster, a lot lighter and also simpler, plus it has actual functioning brakes

Thx for the video. What is your thought on buying/building a rim brake bike now they are all changing to discs?

I wouldn't

Hi Rony is it possible to run the newest dura ace as a 1x

[@ronykuba]

Yes

damn that 58t crank tho

[@peacetalktopurple]

Does that updated 2020 stem cap fit my 2019 model?

[@ronykuba]

Yes

[@peacetalktopurple]

Ronald Kuba fantastic! Now, if I can figure out how to get one from trek! I had a heck of a time trying to package everything under the old one 😅

[@peacetalktopurple]

Well, according to Trek; “there is not an updated stem cover” for the 2020. It is the same as the 2019...

[@ronykuba]

@@peacetalktopurple I would bet it's different

[@adnyrb]

Where is the batery, please?

[@ronykuba]

What battery?

[@Zeben84]

Saddle to bar drop is massive O_O ! Idk how this rider can produce power with that much drop, he might be a contortionist !!

[@ronykuba]

It's proportional to the 84cm saddle height

[@mikicastan]

Ronald Kuba Should be to small for him?

[@ronykuba]

[@relandoronato]

Shimano breaks and shifting, SRAM cranks and Campa wheels.... your customer should consider getting a ROTOR rear derailleur to get this abomination complete ;)

[@ronykuba]

Function over sentiment

[@ianiscaratti4924]

if you can take the best from each brand, not doing it is dumb

[@DennisPengawesome]

You don’t need such a long RD gear cable housing for 9100 mechanical. It looks unprofessional.

[@ronykuba]

1.) It's not 9100 2.) The bend was too sharp otherwise

[@DennisPengawesome]

@@ronykuba It is same for that generation of RD ie. Dura Ace 9100, Ultegra 8000, 105 r7000, with such a long cable housing, you actually made the bend even sharper. Try to use the length slightly longer than a normal Di2 cable. It looks much better, and the bend is actually smoother. For your reference of what I am talking about, have a look at the link below: road.cc/content/tech-news/207047-shimano-dura-ace-9100-first-ride-review

[@jarnozondag694]

@@DennisPengawesome it also depends on what angle the cable exits the frame... What works on your bike might not necessarily work for this bike. Although I see what you mean...

[@wrxzboost]

the SC is still a sharp looking bike...that drop tho! i'd ditch the campagnolo stickers, they look tacky.

The wheels are temporary
