Oh yess I tried 🤣

You are so right. I don't know what they were thinking

Thinking of buying a defy stem for my 2019 propel advanced 2 (non aero stem version). Do you use defy or propel spacers to fit the defy stem please?

@@chrisbirkle6648 Both work, but the defy spacers fit the defy stem (SL Stealth stem) flush, whereas the propel spacers are slightly longer and don't sit flush with the stem. You can see this in the video @15:12 Did you go through with the modification? How'd it go?

I have a 2022 that I am getting ready to set up this way. Took me forever to confirm the Defy stem would work. Thanks for showing this!

Thanks mate, took my time building this one haha :)

Too kind brother 👊 bron gotta win this for mamba

Thanks Tom brah!!

And prob cost 2 times more🤪

Thanks mate. Stay tuned 👍

Thanks Adam

Thank you

👍👍

Good advise mate

Oh thanks Nick👍

They gave you a full refund or just recall? Turning is fine, it does look a bit funny

@@thedropcycling I returned it. Full refund. Don’t think they will do a recall. Too much money involved. I got a SL6 today! NBD!!! Haha

25mm tyres to be safe. 28mm if your rims aren't too wide

if there is no hood in the spacer then unfortunately everything has to be disconnected to replace it

@@thedropcycling Thanks for the reply. I guess the only way is for me to purchase it.

Not really with the old propel

@@thedropcycling old like 2022?

Hey mate, so I have other bikes with easy gearing so leave the propel for flats only. I wouldn't say roval is better than cadex, it's what I had at the time, roval cl is good pair of training and racing wheels. Cadex in my opinion is more highend

@@thedropcycling thanks for the response, yeah I'd love to have a bike for different types of riding but my 2020 propel is my commuter, hill climber, sprinter and recovery bike all in one. Got to get the best value out of it I suppose

Yes although it's not 100% fit

Gotta make sure stem steer size is 1/4

Yes with propel you will have to cut the steer

Hi welcome to the channel, advance pro is more comfortable than the SL I have. The SL is stiff, very rigid. Put wider tyres on it will help to soften the vibration from the road. Very stable in the decent.

Looks like a defy pro stem to me as definitely isn’t a propel one

definitely the defy stem, this is a good alternative for people wanting to run regular 31.8 bars on the propel but still have the integrated cables. On the mechanical equipped propels and defys, they have the ports on the side of the stem for the derailleur cables as they cant fit 4 up through the bars and then the brake cables are run through the top of the bars into the stem. on electronic these holes are plugged and the di2 cable is small enough to go with the brake cables (etap doesnt have to worry) Now in this build the 2 holes for the mechanical cables have been used for the brake cables because the bars dont have the hole in the top of the stem, this can be done because etap is being used and there are only 2 cables

If giant do that it'll be aweso.e

If you know you know

Yet you used torque wrench elsewhere therefore do you know?!

@@johnoakleymusic haha you win John, my hands knows what it is like 4nm or 5nm, they are pretty good but you are right, yes should really use torque wrench everywhere, but in general.

Did you do the mod??

@@You-Tuber2024 yes

@@h.p.734 did the stem cap fit? Any issues with any of it?

@@You-Tuber2024 yep. No issues. But my defy stem (off ebay) came with the top cap. So now I just have a top cap laying around.

Thanks Trevor. Dura ace 11-28

No problem! And how is the shifting with on a 1x with the 11-28 cassette? Is it smooth or are the jumps longer when shifting gears?

Not at all. Shifts very smoothly and fast

Ok cause I am planning on upgrading my entry level bike to a 1x11. Thank you so much for the feedback!!

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

No sorry it's not

i really need it

Yes u can brother

Yep☝️👌
