Re: Conti GP 5000 35C: a new standard for road frames?

Could you link those Zen wheels (cannot find them)? They sound very nice for 35mm tires also. Closest to those I found are Nextie AGX rims (29mm int, 40mm ext). They look great, but the maximum depth is 45mm, and I'd be interested in something deeper.

I remembered wrong it was xmcs wheelset. Here's a profile pic.

Re: Conti GP 5000 35C: a new standard for road frames? Tried a 35mm gp5k this morning on one of Peter's 26mm wheels.
Had it on the back. Fast and comfortable, really comfortable. Currently 38mm wam.

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) Hey fellow V1 Door owners,

I might have something for you.
A small 5cent 3D printable part which safes you latch, door, bottle cage with bottle during the ride.

Put way to much time into it and still not perfect, but 90% is good enough for something like this :D

https://www.printables.com/model/1753559-safety-tab-thingy-for-downtube-cover-v1-lcr018-d

It's adding 2mm between the door and bottle cage, and you just have to bend the tap upwards and than you can use the latch.

Will take a little test ride now :)
Edit: Works and did not open during the ride :D

As you understood by now, I am not as concered about it as you. But I do understand your point of view. And I like big rims and I cannot lie.

Therefore, the best solution would be (and probably will be) rims like the Duke WRX AERO 42. On the 28 internal, a 40mm (like the Michelin Pro 5) tire will probably blow up to a 43 or so, making is perfectly in line with the rim and being within ETRTO standards. Everyone happy! It will just take some time for the bike industry to adjust.

This woud be absolutely amazing with a 38c tire like the Vittoria Corsa Pro. The WAM would be around 40mm probably, making it perfectly in line with the 105% rule  ;D

make these rims in a 60mm depth and you will have a perfect setup for literally everything (except climbing lol)

In general, i would like to see more of this kind of design, with a big difference between the internal and external rim widths

Re: Community driven bicyle tire width measurements - rubbersideup.cc Great resource I used again last week. Thank you for putting that together.
To the extent you can, there should be a nuance between the GP5000 and the ALL SEASON version. Idk whether both tyres expand the same on a given rim; they are quite different.

Reply as per below: Ah, so the option is there already, great. People havent been populating these fields then i guess (Conti gp5000 35C).

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) Now my bike is ready. No 390x90 handlebars before end of August. So picked a stock size. 400x80.
Else it would be 380x80 or 400x120. Handlebars are not produced with frames to match order it seems. They have from 5 to 45 in stock depending on size. Not a huge stock.

Got the British racing green and black logo. Wanted a logo but not too bright/screaming. Hope it will help resale value at some point.

One user sent photos of his bike to show shadow parts are dark. And here are the photos as I got them. Picked all British racing green and black logo.parts in shadow are great. Highlight is a bit bright/light green. But I guess Mads Pedersen just made that color popular yesterday in Paris.

Now I can order the other parts needed for the build. Missing just the Ultegra di2 groupset and the cable for updating handles.

Looking forward to the build.

Paid on 23 May 2026. Promised done on 23 July 2026.  So 2 months as indicated initially.

Update: got a tracking number from local postal service, within hours of choosing a handlebar in stock. Not yet from LC. But guess it was booked at DHL which pushed on the request. And dimensions. 101x55x21cm and 5.5kg

Re: Community driven bicyle tire width measurements - rubbersideup.cc Thank you for the tool! I’ve just uploaded my measurements.

I think you should also post it on Reddit (maybe in r/Velo) to get more data from fellow gear geeks riders  ;D
