Do you have DT Swiss Wheels on your rig?vnbozza wrote:Focus Cayo with SRAM Force - loving it - wheels are a little suspect, but that is probably more to do with my weight though

Yes - DT Swiss wheels - but since this post had them replaced under warranty - news one felt much better, but had lost confidence in the settup, so with a better than expected tax return - upgraded the wheels to Campy Euruswayno78 wrote:Do you have DT Swiss Wheels on your rig?vnbozza wrote:Focus Cayo with SRAM Force - loving it - wheels are a little suspect, but that is probably more to do with my weight though

For some reason I really really like the looks of Focus bikes, especially the black ones.

though I noticed the Pro 4.0 at my LBS... it is listed as having SRAM Red Black. This is not accurate on the focus website, and I didn't think RED would be on a cheaper model than SRAM Force which is on the 3.0...
could be an error as the focus website actually list's the 4.0 with Ultegra.

I have the Cayo Evo 3.0, not the 2.0 you're looking at. I'm very happy with it. It is stiff and responsive. I'm still a newbie but the difference in ride between my Giant Defy and this bike is night and day (not a fair comparison I know).Pawesome wrote:Hey mate I'm thinking of getting the cayo 2.0 with ultegra Di2 what do you think of your machine..JohnJoyner wrote:Awesome...

It's my first roadie, so can't really compare it, but I love it. Not Di2 though. As I ride Sydney roads it's pretty rough terrain, but I have no problem with the comfort over the awful roads, soaks up the bumps nicely. For the price & as they are German, they're good value for money, in my opinion.Pawesome wrote:Hey mate I'm thinking of getting the cayo 2.0 with ultegra Di2 what do you think of your machine..JohnJoyner wrote:Awesome...

There is something about a German made carbon frame that is strangely appealing. That and the fact they are one of the few modern bikes with an almost horizontal top tube, ie it doesn't look like a girls bike. :laugh:
