Boast about your latest purchases here...

Nice one so early in the morning. Many happy miles.

To be fair, common sense will probably prevail with tubeless at some stage.

Out with the Madone and in with the new 2021 Giant TCR.....

Is my memory fading or did we have a long discussion in the past about discs not being necessary on road bikes? COuld be i am picking on the wrong person.

 

But enjoy nice bike.

I crashed a few days before lockdown, so as soon as trade was open again, I got this bad boy.

 

 

Generally a very nice bike, but the carbon wheels braking performance do not fill me with confidence in the dry, so am terrified to ride in the rain.

The price of the bike was attractive, especially since there was a R20K gap between this and the 2020 disc brake version. But I do wonder if I should make the switch to disc sooner rather than later - just to be a bit more 'future proof'.

That’s nice!

 

Dont change for the sake of it. Discs are awesome. BUT I made the mistake of selling a bike I loved for disc brakes.

 

Maybe ride that beauty till it’s normal new bike time?

Experiment with some aftermarket carbon rim specific brake pads.

Try to get your hands on some Token all weather brake pads. They seem to work well and better than SwissStop imo. Finding them locally is a mission, Token/Positive sport hasn't had them in stock for a few months.

+1 here, it seriously improved my confidence on my Rovals. Frankly the same applied to my alu training rims. Pads can make a world of difference.

Rim brakes are absolutely crap and everyone should move to disk.

 

I will happily take any Colnago C64 frames with direct mount brakes for bargain prices.You can thank me later that you not stuck with outdated technology [emoji3][emoji6]

Lovely bike, nice to see a proper rim brake bike. Who owns the stolen bike now?
