I don't have that problem. My black rims have black decals.

I am going to send you a PM.
What size is the frame? I assume it is carbon?

Maybe I should convert my Rapide to a gravel mountain bike.
I have a Reba 100mm and I want to replace it with a Z2 120mm.

I know a shop that sells AliExpress items for almost the same price as the name brand items. I found that out when I inquired about a price on a chain ring.
Maybe it is the same quality, maybe not.
Edit: I source my own products and I let the LBS fit it, that way I know what I buy.

Yes, this.

Also had a case of a velcro strap of a saddle bag constantly rubbing the shorts until it had a hole.
Same happened to me with the saddle clamp.

I have the Corsa 2 bib and shorts.

Yes, they feel fine. That is what I ride with.
A bit off topic. I bought a pair of Assos bibs, did one ride and sold them again. They were just killing me.
Probably me and the bibs that's not compatible.

I saw that a couple of days ago and I added it to my favorites list.

But to get XL's is quite hard, easier to get a L Superspeed
I would love a Superspeed.

One way I knew was whenever someone posts something about a HT I agreed and liked it and whenever a DS was posted in the forum I was searching for a reason why the HT will be better, So I was searching for reasons to go HT and that alone tells me that I decided to go HT
but always nice to hear peoples thoughts and opinions
Silverback Superspeed?
2 minutes ago, Skubarra said:I have never felt wider and softer tyres can really compensate enough for the lack of suspension, but maybe I just have one of those older HTs that rattle your teeth!
That said I the vibes I pick up from the OP is that he has already decided to get a HT, its really just up to the hub to help decide which one! 🤣
A nice HT can't compare to a DS. You can take some of the harshness out of your ride.
Lekker wide tyres and a nice steel frame together make a soft(ish) ride.

My Tigre with road shoes on.
Just now, Phillippe Coetzee said:Do you do longer rides as well ? How does the HT feel after 80+ km compared to the DS ?
I do rides over 100km, quite often. I can't really say what the difference is, the last time I rode a DS was in 2021, I think. I am just used to a steel HT with 100mm travel.
1 minute ago, Phillippe Coetzee said:main reason why you went to HT ?
Was it for Maintenance, Speed, weight, fun factor ?
The fun factor is the number one reason by far. Second reason, the creaking pivots made me crazy (maintanance).
It's nice (comfortable) to ride a DS, but I enjoy a HT way more.
Keep you bike, get a second wheel set with slicks for the commute.
Which one to buy, or not to buy, and why? I'm no gravel expert. Price is pretty much the same.

@Matt would you mind renaming the Thread to WC Enduro Round 2 please? Thanks.
There is one.

It will look completely different. Mine will be white.
