When I have cause to redo my bartape, I will be moving the interruptor brakes closer to the hoods than they currently are, so that I have some room to put a light on.
That said, I'm a fan of the black/green/white of my Cyclo cross 4.

- fizik aliante bull saddle (black)
- 6870 11 speed groupset; replaced brifters, front and rear dérailleurs.
- went with the 6870 gs medium cage rear derailleur
- di2 sprint shifters
- dura ace 9000 brakes
- black bar tape
- ultegra compact crank set (used adaptor to fit this to the bottom bracket)
- 11-32 11 speed ultegra cassette (brilliant for climbing)
- fulcrum racing zero alum clinchers with conti gp4000s2 tyres
- stages power meter
- 90mm Fsa slk stem (just to bring the reach back a little for me)
Absolutely loving the setup. The sprint shifters are awesome, and I love having the power data at hand.
Disc brakes on my wish list; but that's going to mean a major upgrade... N+1...

On the Stelvio - second highest road pass in Europe (2,758m).
The following day the CX4 (and baggage) worked up the top of the Gavia Pass (2,652m) from the Bormio side;
followed by the next day by a much quicker run without baggage from the Ponte de Legno side for a quick windsurf on Lago Bianco at the top of the pass.
On Mt Ginini in the ACT - the snow that is visible started falling when I was about 50m laterally from the 1762m peak, which made for a very cold ride back down.
And to finish, my wife's CX5 on a tour through Germany. It's been her main daily commute for years.

Welcome to the club. I bought the same bike seven weeks ago. The bike shop swapped out the saddle to my preferred Fizik Antares (which I have on my two other bikes, well three but one is now retired).WhingingPom wrote:I joined the Merida club last night on my way home from work.

Thanks, I was thinking about a Fizik saddle (I use one at the spin place I go to) but thought I'd try this one and see what happens. Pretty happy so far, but one 45km commute isn't a representative sample.biker jk wrote:Welcome to the club. I bought the same bike seven weeks ago.

Shimano G02A-R (R for resin). With the 160mm rotors I don't believe you need the finned pads (which keep the brake pads cooler).WhingingPom wrote:I'm going to be replacing my front pads at some point in the foreseeable. Which pads did you go with?

I'm probably not the best person to answer as I haven't been cycling for too long (since January), but I haven't noticed any additional harshness compared to my previous roadie (Reid Osprey). Tyre wise, I've been using Schwalbe Durano Plus for quite a while and run the front at 105 or thereabouts.biker jk wrote:Ride Disc 7000 owners, a quick question. How do you find the ride from the front end? To be honest, I find the front end a bit harsh over irregular surfaces. Seems that the fork is quite stiff (it does appear bulky). I'm running the OEM tyres at 85psi on the front. Interested in your thoughts.
