Has anyone tried Ryet’s new Aircode 2 yet? The nose is now more rounded, and they’ve also fixed the side Honeycomb surface that was so hard on bib shorts with the Aircode T40A/B.
The question is what the front section will be like, as it still has the Honeycomb surface — whether it will be like sandpaper on bib shorts or not. In any case, they now also offer a version with conventional foam padding.

I have the T40 on two of my bikes, zero issues with any bib damage.

Anybody over 6 ft and have the 58 and find the seat tube angle too slack ?

Currently ride a 73 degree with a 20/25mm offset post.

I know some of the geo echos the pinarello x but wondering how significant the measurements that don't are...also what the ride is like as the X is designed to be comfortable on rou7ght roads. Is the X really worth 5k for a frameset compared to this?

There aren't many other frames that will give me a shorter reach and higher front end for long rides, so the market is quite sparse.

It all depends on your rim/tyre combination and the resulting actual measured dimensions, i did a experiment mounting panaracer gravelking slick 38 on i29 rims -> WAM 43mm. Very little margins for mud/debree around the chainstays (~2mm) and the front deraileur were (just) touching the tyre.

I'm now running Vittoria N.EXT 34mm on i23 rims, WAM36 this leaves 6mm clearance to the chainstays.

Based on this i'd say if you are modest with the internal width (<=23-24mm) a 38mm tyre will problably be OK but if you want to be on the safe side go for 34-36mm tyres.
38 mm on the R088?! No way. Does not even clear 35mm (iw 21mm) in the front.

Can someone recommend shoes for road bike with boa? I’m looking for white shoes.

Not original boa but similar I have sidebike and santic shoes, both are very good imo - santic is quite expensive and only worth buying if you get a really good deal.

Potentially my new favorite tire. Feels very supple and fast, is lightweight and has sufficient grip in dry conditions.

Good to hear I also ordered a set ;D

do you think the medium will fit me will with enough seat post and stand over at my height (175cm with 31.5 inseam)

It should be fine. My size M w/ 35mm Conti Terra Speeds tires on 25mm IW rims is ~30in at the seatpost and ~31in HT as measured from the top of the TT to the ground.

Assuming you wear shoes, you should have no problem standing flat-footed over the bike. I am quite a bit shorter, with a ~29in inseam, and I have no issues with standover, though it's a bit snug to stand flat-footed; shoes + cleats make it OK.
