I've taken it out once. Did an easy 100km in the Cradle on the weekend to see if the shoulder would cope with LeTape.

 

It was amazing. Look it's not that diffferent from the previous C60, but there was a difference in how the wheels rolled. It just felt fast. But only averaged about 31kmh so it's just "feels" fast. Will take it for a more thorough spin this weekend. Will report back with more pics too :)

 

The 26c Turbos at 6.5bar and double bar tape made it feel like my CX bike, no road buzz at all and very comfy.

 

Biggest difference was not having a power reading..... it just feels weird ????

Easy 100km @ 31 kmh? Isn't easy below 25 kmh?

I learnt about the cancelation while on the ride. So unfortunately not. We are planning an "Anti-LeTape Ride" around here on Sunday. Probably a Om Die Damn type ride.

As absolutely pure porn as it is... My OCD cannot handle the sworks rubber. I just cannot mix "brands" it would drive me insane every time I look at it (I am sure they are great but its about the look)

I hear you, I had the same issue.

 

Which brand would you suggest then? Colnago nor Campy make tyres? ;)

If not Vittorias why not look at Michelin's new Power Competition. Independent ratings have secured them best clincher currently. Personally I have the Corsa Evo CX.
