Dave, can you pls be so nice an give a little detail on what you like better vs the SS Evo (himod or not?)? I just broke my beloved SS Evo himod frame in a bad accident and was offered to replace it with a 0 SLR frame now. Tx

When they started making 15k ones.

Got mine in June. Dropped a tiny tool on frame and the paint job/frame chipped. Wrote in to distributor to complaint. Still waiting for reply if it’s a frame defect or a paint job defect.

May I know how it cranked?

Mine is a Wilier Jareen gravel bike and it cracked at the junction between the top tube and seat tube

@@nigelbest191 integrated seat clamp strike again

@@involuntarysoul3867 It’s not an ‘integrated seat clamp’ on the Wilier Jareen

Awesome! Make sure to share some pics 👍

@@davidarthur As you know the process of getting parts is difficult now. Waiting on some small parts for the Groupset. I am transferring my old SRAM RED group. I recently broke my frame on the top tube, (Canyon Aeroad CF SL), so I am putting that group on the Wilier. I know, sort of seems wrong to not use Campy...looking into that...but trying to find a Super Record set is also hard now in the states.

That’s exactly how I feel. I’m typically more inclined towards Italian bikes, but as of right now the Tarmac SL7 looks like the better bike to me. Considering the price, that knob just really kills it for me. If they could just fix that, I’d be sold.

Thanks! I’ll answer that question just as soon as I’ve ridden the Tarmac, which will be soon

Would also like to know!

@@davidarthur have you ridden the tarmac? i´m really interessted in your point of view because i want to decide between sl7 and the filante or zero slr

someone's coming off that mdma kick still I see, gud weekend ye?

@@channul4887 ?

Thanks! I liked the wheels, light and fast, but I’d like the tubeless clincher versions even more personally

@@davidarthur shame they sent them as tubs. I have seen these wheels on a website clincher versions of course for £800 but not sure if something like a hunt or visions are better ?

@@channul4887 have you been on the bags

What thoughts in particular? I've ridden the Exploro in the past and been highly impressed with its speed. I should be getting the new Race Max version to test very soon

Many thanks for replying Dave. I am interested in the exploro max with GRX 800 x1. I would appreciate your thoughts on whether the gears will help me get up steep hills and the bike will perform equally well on and off road. Bearing in mind the tyres are quiet wide, As always thank you.

Unless you want electronic gears the SL looks a solid choice

@@davidarthur whats the reason for having SLR with electronic gears? Thanks, really enjoy your content.

I'm 181 and rode a L

@@davidarthur thanks a los David. According to your experience when testing this bike, could this bike fit to me being 1'86 tall? I'm quite confuswd since wilier's website advises XL for my height.

I'll be honest I'm not sure and hesitant about handing out bike sizing advice on YT in case it doesn't work out. What size bike are you currently riding? Using the stack and reach from that and the new bike is a good way to get the right fit

You and me both!

@@davidarthur Their patents show a wire between the derailleur and the battery, as well as self charging hoods. They show wireless between the hoods and the derailleurs though... I think the Bicycle Illuminati are sitting on it under embargo ahead of a launch on/around Shimano's 100th anniversary.

I’m disappointed at another video of another ultra-expensive bike that the majority of consumers wouldn’t find reasonable to buy. I started following this channel because of the coverage of the TCR Pro. Wish he makes more videos of bikes that “normal” people may consider owning.

@@Dee-Ell in fairness to David I think he does review many affordable bikes on his channel. If you had your own channel, would you turn down the opportunity to review one of the nicest bikes from wilier if they approached you? I know I wouldn’t!

@@BikeLife154 Of course. I'm not blaming him. I know showing off superbikes attracts more views.

@Stylish Riding On Cannondale's site, a CAAD13 rim brake ultegra weights 8.2Kg ( www.cannondale.com/en-us/bikes/road/race/caad13/caad13-ultegra ). I'm curious how you shed 1.5Kg on yours.

@@Dee-Ell wow that’s heavy! The 13 has become heavy! I have the Caad12 not 13. My Caad12 was only 7.2 kg for a M without pedals when I bought it! They weighed it in the store for me. I have put on a carbon saddle, narrower lighter bars, Dura ace derailleurs, Hunt 36mm Aero Wide wheels, and cut the steerer tube down. That’s it! The wheels shed the most weight. However, I guess I added some weight with the c-bear ceramic BB.

Dave's one of the best bike reviewers ... ... ... _in the world._

Weight is without pedals and cages - bikes always weighed without due to many different pedal and cage designs available

Me!

1 gram = 6,25 EUR My 5kilo weight loss worth = 31.250 EUR

I noticed that too. Who dinged it I wonder?

@@treyquattro can you explain me what is wrong with the chainset please? thanks

@@juancamilorodriguez8134 looks like the chainring or spider is dinged in a close-up. You'll have to find it - I'm not re-watching to get a time stamp sorry
