What's the issue?
Don't you want the chain as short as possible?

 

Updated pic of my Speed Concept with the race wheels and the 1x set up

Very nice sir!

That’s a great shot!

Nice Bike & Wheels look amazing with Absolute Black rear Pulley wheel.......What's the Princeton disc like? is it solid carbon or bonded carbon on a wheel like the aerocoach disc?

Are you using it for TT or Triathlons? Noticed you removed triangle Trek bottle and put and Elite on frame. I kept mine on as was told bike is more aero with the orignal triangle bottle on? Have you heard this?

The PCW V3 Is all an carbon disc and it’s fast, similar to a roval disc. Their first version was a carbon cover on a wheel, V2 went all carbon, and this version is 970g; their new hub, and has the cover for the valve stem area, which is larger (more accessible).

I do TTs. When you buy just SC a frameset, it doesn’t come with anything except the fork, so I had to go to the parts manual to order the bolts, seatpost, base bars, etc, so no water bottle. For race day, I can lower the bottle, which is supposed to be more aero, but I’m not sure if that is less aero than their stock bottle.

Sexy Bike. You weigh it? Curious what it weighs, as many others say its lighter than previous version.

No I have no idea, it is a TT bike, so weight really doesn't matter much. It feels marginally lighter than the 2012 SC I had.

Looks sick. What size of chainring on the front are you running?

Thanks. 56t for my 1x set up and a 55t / 42t for the 2x set up. Honestly, I feel better and smoother with my cadence with the 56t, but it’s taking some getting used to keeping the watts up when going through sweeping corners, you really have to stay on top it.

gunna rep a more budget-friendly ride, 2011 cannondale slice frame, all components more modern but still budget, this was just before 70.3 Timberman last year. it gets the job done

What type of bottom bracket is here ? Just curious because thinking of buying while I've some crank's already on my floor.

I've been hobby racer in triathlon already 3 decades ( including 6 Ironman finishers). First two decades went Cannondale R800 y.1992 (upgraded with Dura-Ace) and 3'rd with Quintana Roo CD 0.1 Dura-Ace 2X10 speed y.2011.

QR has worked nicely or even more good but after 10 seasons I did like to have a bit change, I'm also happy to pass it to my fiance while it's a upgrade for her too. My goal was to find a bit more stiff bike with 'golden oldie' 2X10 mechanical part's. I was in love with old Cervelo P5 Six in pictures and last summer when I was able to ride a one for a hundred metres it was clear that I should find a one to me too.

3-4 week's a go I found one which has been on use with two very accurate guys, because of that bike look's like a new. It's early days product so it's with Sram Red 2x10 mechanical. This is my weapon for my last decade in triathlon ??!!

That always has and always will be a fast bike both in looks and function. Congrats!

Oldie but a goodie!

Here is my Cervelo P2C. Pics taken this year at IM Maine 70.3 at bike drop-off hence no bottles in the cages.

Not my first post in this thread but figured an updated 2023 race setup picture was worthy. Setup for Oceanside and St. George here with the 2x. Will switch back to 1x for Boulder and others. Biggest difference is my front hydration setup. Not so much for an extra bottle as I don't really need that for 70.3 racing, but trying to fill the space in under the chest. Using a couple of prototype parts for that.

Silca hot melt waxed chain. Vision aero cranks. Speedplay power pedals. 55/42 and 11-28 gearing. Aliexpress tri spoke. Ron Aeron X wheel. Michelin Power TT 25mm tires. TriRig everything else.
