Too much snow cover around my neck of the woods to do any last minute riding. I need some sun to work it's magic.
Thanks guys for the advice on the Trek vs Pinarello comparison's.
Some of my best winter rides are fat bike on groomed snowmobile trails and I suspect you have plenty of those. Winter fat biking is a whole different world and a hoot to boot.
LOVE THIS THREAD. not sure who started it.
BUT the ppl in here are having fun
the ppl outside this thread are... well.... trying to heel/toe and confusing it with rev matching and some even heel and toe every shift...
i just let my box grind, i stopped using the clutch.. it's faster just bang the gears. when it breaks, i sell the car...
damn, the secrete is out. thats why i dont keep cars long. the clutch and gearbox are done...,
NIZER, MOVE from wherever u are living.
that's a lot of strange white substance on the ground.
come to CA. it's way nicer...

As Nizer said layer. Sweat management is usually my biggest issue. Still haven't found the best venting clothing
i dont understand the tempoerarture you ppl are talking about. i prolly die before 30*F.
but get some base layer, they make big difference in sweat control and not all baselayer are the same.
i had many of them, only assos and rapha now. yes, $$$$$$$$$$$ but they work

beside canyon i tried all in the last 24 moths.
i like two, sworks SL6 and pinarello F10. want to try urgestalt by LWT.
F10 is really really good.
and if u fit, try the latest Tarmac Pro. it's the same frame as Sworks but runs ultegra i think only $6000 full bike. the UltraLight is not just a S work with lighter paint. it's got SECRETS but i am not suppose to discuss it.

how dare you mention resale...
so, steel or pccb rotors if i want to maximize my resale potential?
my next bike schedule june 2018 will be a disc, either F1o or sworks

the trek and pina feels very differnt one ride will tell you what you like. i know you are half my wt. but F10XL is more money and very very little wt saving. get the F10 forget XL
since i "earned" it. i made my kids clean the house so i can go ride today.... so nice being dad.
last ride of the year
i realizaed many are concerned with cars and bikes mixed together.
most of my rides are like this route. not many cars.
but you might hit cows, cow dung, horses, pigs and sometime lamas....
HAPPY NEW YEAR
YTD 12/31/17

Huge year riding mooty - congratulations!
Curious what is different on the UltraLight? I like mine, but thought it was just the thin paint between it and regular S Works?

Hi,
I haven't ridden either of these bikes but since my local shop is a Trek dealer I looked at the Emonda SLR9 but discovered because the integrated seat post the bike frame won't fit into my travel case. I am assuming you want to take your new bike to Europe this summer so make sure this is not an issue. I think you will be on a smaller frame from what I remember but check this out.
When I went to Europe last summer I expected to see many riders on disc brake bikes but found just the opposite. There are very few riders there, from my observation that use disc brakes. A 2-edged sword as I see it, disc brakes are better in wet conditions but there is a weight penality. On a 12 KM col at 7%, that adds up.
I have been riding a rim brake Canyon Ultimate CF SLX with eTap for 3 years now (helps to have a good friend at SRAM who set me up with a pre-production drivetrain) and this is best bike I have ever ridden. I am in no hurry to go to disc brakes even though I love riding in the mountains.

Would love to pick your brain on the Canyon. I am looking at Canyon CF SLX disc but have to wait till feb as they are backordered. I considered taking the Sram Etap but just can't get myself to go back to Sram after switching to Shimano.
Ironically, the disc bike will not be available on the top of the line DA and only as an Ultegra or as an ETap. Very excited about the bike. I also have a 2016 Cervelo R5 that will be used for hills and mixing rides. Where I live, it's primarily flat so the Canyon would work great in getting some additional speed.

, I would suggest Pinarello Dogma f10 disc as it would have a better resale value. I would strongly recommend disc as that is the future. With the newer bikes, there is hardly a weight disadvantage with discs.
