I’m 50% there. Just waiting on the fork

I doubt it. The internal is narrow. Just 21. The external is crazy wide

The purpose of the 26mm tyres is the aero shape combined with the wheel , yea the tyres are not meant to poke out past the rim and the width of the rim makes the shape of the tyre the roundness gives way better cornering

Kinda haha. Lots of people are buying 30-35s now a days

I think we did. But honestly we might not of lol. I’ve ridden the wheels like 200 miles so hopefully hahahaha

I don’t hate shimano and they definitely make great stuff but there’s a lot of reasons we push sram. 1. We have a really close relationship with sram. They effectively are local to us in being in Indy and Chicago and a lot of our friends work there. The flip side is shimano has never even come to visit our store once in the last 3 years. Sram has included us in every new product launch over the last three years. 2. We benefit from Srams best pricing on all their products. And sram works hard to make sure their stuff isn’t sold online for super cheep. Shimano lets anyone sell their stuff for almost wholesale in some cases. We don’t really make money on Shimano products a lot of the time. 3. Shimano is seriously behind from a product standpoint. Srams on like 3th generation wireless mtb drivetrains and Shimano doesn’t even have one right now. 12 speed di2 is way more complicated then srams AXS and Shimano’s app is terrible compared to srams. Sram is releasing bleeding edge suspension and shifting tech and Shimano can’t even make a power meter that works properly. Oh and that power meter that doesn’t work costs 5x a functional quarq meter. I can go on and on but yea. Sram is just killing it right now and are fun to work with.

@@bicyclestation Hey thanks for taking time on your reply, that's super honest, love it! Looking forward to more of your videos, keep it flowing :)

Shimano has better shifting especially on the front derailer

@@czts4778that’s debatable, I have worked with both and just today built a bike with di2 and a bike with the new sram red drivetrain. The di2 was a million times more complicated and shifting was in my opinion a little worse than the sram red.
