I am way beyond the point of gratuitous consumerism and hoarding bikes. But I really want one.

My current Tavelo Attack is fantastic especially with a great set of wheels. It's light and very responsive. The only thing holding it back from being perfect given the price, is I would love a bit more reach. The geometry is more of an all-arounder than aero.

The new Tavelo Arow frame solves both the reach and stack issues for me. And the design means I could probably theoretically dump both my Attack and Propel frames. I think this new frame will be more popular than even the new Winspace Agile.

Being nearly half the price of your propel and giant issues ;), propel might turn into a regret after this.

Heard about it on Chris Miller's pod. Looks the same as propel with a mini sniffer headtube.
Haven't seen all the colors yet, but I think I'm in love. If only get it in India was easy.

Toggle Mobile view in the browser, that always works for me.

Insect Element -> Responsive design Mode ( top right corner of browser debugger ) -> choose mobile layout of choice -> refresh if required.

Component Deals & Selection / Aliexpress insoles?

Has anyone tried insoles for high arch support?

Something like these g8 knockoffs ( they don't come in my size   >:( )

Asking $120 for insoles ( looking at you g8s ), seems crazy.

You mean on the centering screw or the main bolt that goes through the frame? I could have on the centering screw but the idea of putting loctite on a screw that's supposed to be adjustable sounds kinda wrong.

In any case, these calipers have bigger issues than that particular screw. The tolerance is just too big on almost every moving part. Sloppy and wiggly. I have read some people are happy with it so may be my particular set is lemon.

The main bolt.
I mostly asked it as question, being a total newbie bike mechanic. :-[

Could some loctite on the brake bolt not help you here?
