I can’t speak for the owner, but I go with an 12-28t cassette for rolling hills, because you get a 16t that the 11-28t doesn’t have. Unless you have long downhills, one probably would not spin-out with a 53/12t combo.
I hope Trek will continue the Emonda line to be a lightweight priority instead of what Focus did with the Izalco Max. Considering the components on this bike and still weigh in at 6.6kg is impressive. Mountainous days, slap some lightweight climbing wheels to make it lighter and on flatter terrains, slap on some deep section aero wheels for some aero gains and probably will be right at 6.8kg or under
+Ronald Kuba Besides the wheels/tires, (which u discussed here & cover extensively in prior videos) what components would you suggest to the fellow (if he asked you...) that are both SL/UL and performance/quality oriented enough to make it even lighter (tho' more expensive; granted) ???? Brands/Models/etc....for racing, hills, etc.
Once again Ronald !!!! Your channel is awesome but... I have one nerdy question either to you or to other viewers :) What is the difference in weight of paint itself ? (but also in other areas like "look's" ) between "U5 Vapor Coat" and "Vapor Coat Color" scheme? Thank you !!!
I would have to respectfully disagree as I have the CLX 40 on a SWorks Tarmac and imo they do run smoother. With the NSW however, I would choose those over the Rovals just in terms of engagement as it feels as if you don't have to pedal when coasting.
@@ronykuba I gather it's a matter of preference. When I use the Zipps I believe the wheels engage better on my ride. Perhaps it's a mental thing. I guess others may have a different perspective.
doesn t make sense your point regarding the chainring..it s not about top speed ,it s just someone preffer 53.it keeps better chainline and the small one it s also more efficient in less hilly area
@@Jahn80235 I was comparing 11-28 and 12-28. With a 53 vs 50 it's different, but that doesn't mean it's better. If you are slow enough to never need a 53x11, you're still better off with a compact.
every alibaba chinese frane comes with that paintjob

$1000 for the easiest paint job is a rip off for a company that typically is the best value. One coat of lacquer and that bike is out the door.
exactly this. ridicuous.
You misspelled canyon.

Hello Ron what does the
F/S STAND FOR ON A PROJECT ONE TREK EMONDA SLR F/S.
I don't get the 53-12 but in the us. Juniors under 18 have to run 52-14 max, thus I have a 14-28 cassete
It's a UCI rule, and it's a ratio which you can achieve by gears other than 52-14
what would be the lowest possible weight of the bike that wouldn't compromise it's safety
4.5 kg
Yeah, nice bike all pretty much in black even looks fast lol

For racing, you have to make it heavier, not lighter.

Thank you !!!
U5 vs. standard ~ 200g.
44 handlebars no power meter = fat banker lol
My BMC TMR01 has that paint job!! (Ok, plus some red decals)...actually my UD finish Chinese 29er frame also has that paint job 😂!!!
👍
Nice bike Rony
It is
thanks for sharing
Definitely needs a Di2 junction box mount: www.fouriers-bike.com/en/pro.php?m=d&pid=362&cid=67&f=2
Sweet! eTap, eTap, eTap!!
That's not up to me to decide
Hova lett a Madone? Ez a második videó amiben nem látom. Vagy csak az én szemem rossz? 😀
Görgőn van
@@ronykuba Erre nem is gondoltam.
What type of wheels you have it?
It's not my bike, as I 've said in the video. The wheels are Bontrager Aeolus 5 TLR, what I've also stated.
Are you getting the new Enve disk?
Still no...
Hi Ronald , what do you think about rovals clx? Are they better than zipp firecrest?
No

Someone please define this "runs smoother" phenomenon. I have tried many things, but I´ve never experienced it...

it´s not a performance metric, that´s for sure
Flip that Polar mount - looks better and is more aero!

The middle of the cassette is the same, so at the same speed, how does it give you a better chainline?
@@ronykuba it s the same when using a 50 vs a 53 when using a a short spacing casette?

Lovely bike but like that paintwork it's a sad fact that we now pay more for less on everything in this world.
cool
i have a 2016 emonda slr8 :D

kight or aero ?
?
@@fao0879 I know, but light or aero what?
light weight or aero @@ronykuba
@@ca5ualm3dia yes, I got that, but light or aero what? When? Where? I can only answer meaningful questions.
