The stock axles suck when you first get them but after you remove/install them a few times they are fine.
setup has absolutely no problems with shifting performance when matched with all 105 mechanicals, and a 11-32 cassette.

It's a 110. The newest gen of 105 crank. Absolute black makes 30/46 rings and 32/48 rings for it.
just get sub compact rings. im running 30/46 on my shimano 105 crankset with a 11-32 cassette and its great. i can grind up steep hills at 6mph or pedal down big hills at 40mph.

that one looks good with the bontrager rims, tan walls and a pm

You sound like a complete idiot with a chip on your shoulder. Every review out there says the valor is the most comfortable carbon wheel on the market with its "10mm of vertical compliance". I'll never run anything else…
I would agree with the shock style stem. also, there is a lot to be said about different carbon lay ups. different brands of carbon handlebars can feel very different. I have been having great luck with enve bars over…

Aluminum model is feeling great with about 80 proper miles on it so far. enve handlebars and seatpost combined with 38 gravel kings setup tubeless eat up all the chatter. feel no need for isospeed.

Dang! i have a braze deraileur for my alu frame come in today. anyone know if clamp to braze adapters work okay? or if i should just get a clamp deraileur on the way asap?

Mine didnt show up today gonna be here tomorrow. but out completes did show up, and as stated above, i guess i was wrong, the aluminum ones do not get the assymetric chain stays and they also dont get the bosses on top…

You are correct, only carbon gets a rear-only isospeed. Aluminum gets nothing. Trek claims this is because it is not really needed with its 47c tire clearance, but that makes no sense as if this was the case they…
