Beautiful build. What is the weight with pedals?

I'm sure you guys greased your axle and threads right? Also I always gently insert it until I feel the threads bite. I never force the axle into the threads. Also I feel like new frames when they arrive sometimes need to "flex" into place. Eventually the axle spacing settles at the right width.Of course I greased the through axle threads
Am I the only one that has a hard time screwing the rear thru axle in and out? I did torque the udh to specs. I can the the threaded portion of the axle become shinier everytime I take it on and off.I also encountered a problem. When I unscrewed the through axle, my udh hanger started to spin in the same direction, because the through axle was jammed in the udh due to the short thread and because the through axle itself was too long. I scratched the frame a little in the process
So you chose Color=Black color, Finish=Matte? Anyone know if that means it still receives a clear protective coat, just no color added so that the carbon can be seen? Or is there no clear coat added if you make that selection?If you choose matte they will send ud matte, through the coating you will see carbon and it looks very good for me personally. With glossy the same, maybe I'm wrong
As someone who's coming from a 2012 Cannondale SuperSix 54 cm, and who has racked up some years on that frame (about to turn 43), I'm not totally sure what frame size is ideal in the SL8. Leaning towards a 52, height being 5'10"/178 cmI have the same height as you and I chose size 54, I wouldn't go smaller. Although Primoz Roglic rides on a frame size 52 and his height is 177 cm. I went to the specialized website and entered my anthropometric data there and according to these data, 54 suited me.
Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by axle.
Looking at the photos, it seems like a paint defect....have you already reported the problem to Spcycle?
EDIT: Could you measure the diameter of the FD/RD holes for the mechanical group? Thanks
This is UD matt, not matt black.
