Has anyone successfully removed the "PES" logo from the crank arms? I've just received my power meter and I'm wondering if it's possible to give it that clean look.

Anyone know if there's a way to remove the logo but keep the existing finish?

I'd change the seat tube design so it's not copying the Trek style, I'm always wary about those failing

Also own one. It is okay. To be fair, only bought it for the looks. Shifting seems a bit better, but nothing too special. I have it on my 105 Di2.

Did you have the long cage 105 derailleur? Was it easy enough to swap like for like with this?

Thanks for the reply.

The price I'm looking at is equivalent to $62usd, so they must be more expensive in the US, from what you're seeing.

I'm upgrading from 105 jockey wheels, which just have bushings, so I've seen loads of people say to get the marginal gains from actual bearings. I was going to get Ultegra jockey wheels, but then thought I might try something else.

Like I said I'm not entirely in it for the gains, I also like to make my bike more aestheticly appealing.

I use a garmin mount which hangs off my saddle rails.  I tried the long rubber band one which comes with the unit but it stretched too much; the rail mount has been solid.

I would use that but I have a saddle bag that attached to the rails so there's no room for anything else there unfortunately

Build it up and rode a bit with it, will post proper pictures in future.

Components are
Tantan GR048 with custom paint (Red metallic, with the tops of bars being black, and matte varnish)
9Velo GV45 2.0 (already had them some months)
GRX820 (with GRX400 brakes)
RXL SL gravel bars at 42CM
Kocevlo stem at 90mm
Silca bar tape (Knockoff? of some ali seller, easily nicest bar tape ive used though)
Redshift grips (Knockoff of same ali seller, surprisingly great)

For now its just a road setup, because I don't actually have gravel where I live, the idea of this bike was to swap some wheels when I want to do some small trips to places with gravel. I run corsa pro 32mm tubeless on the 9velo wheels for now, and will probably keep doing that for a good while.

For me the geometry is very nice. Its definitely relaxed but as someoone with a short torso, a lot heavier than I ought to be and a quite bad back it makes it really comfortable. It's actually a stiffer than my Defy (non-SL frame), and handling is more stable. Keep in mind I'm just used to that bike, and a 20yo Trek OCLV carbon bike. This bike is obviously heavy (didnt weigh it yet), but for me that really doesn't matter much. I'm a heavy guy, and live in a flat area. I also have no intention of going fast. Fork will be chopped once I figure out the height (probably one spacer less)

No obvious flaws on the build. One small annoyance is quite large unpainted areas around some of the bolts, but I don't care too much. The varnish is also pretty rough around the BB area, but its hidden away and I have no issue with it.

How was your experience with TanTan?

indeed, plenty of options around here.
Peter (XMS carbon) is almost unbeatable if you're looking at good quality for a low price.
My personal favourite is https://www.wheelsfar.com/gravel-c0374. They also can make custom wheels like with their own dt swiss stile hubs which are very light.  Once you start chatting with them, they can give you some options.

I've seen a few people mention Peter, but I've never seen any way of contacting this mystical man.

Does anyone have any contact details?

I'm going to try mounting my Magene P505 stand alone PM on the RF25. I'll report back if it fits, though I'm not sure if the P505 PES will fit the T47 internal BB.

Is the P505 not compatible with T47 bottom brackets? I was hoping to use one for an upcoming build.
