Tarmac: Fork Cutting and Headset

After the bottom bracket is installed now for the fork sizing and headset installation. This should be very easy because the Allez is very similar in geometry. So this looks like copy-and-paste.

Tarmac: Frame and BB

Like I said last year, when I get to it, there will be a new, detailed build-up with better pictures. Now the time has come. I teared down the Tarmac… completely. Not only that the phoenix rises from the ashes, no… there is a lot new stuff coming, too. One thing is the new Ceramicspeed […]

Tarmac: Build-Up Compilation

Today the Tarmac will rise and the Allez will fall. What does this mean? The Allez will fall?! Yeah the Dura Ace components will be transferred to the Tarmac… So in the background will be a disassembly to build up the Tarmac =) But later on will be a “2nd 2nd” Rebuild for the Allez […]

Frameset Revealed: S-Works Tarmac SL6

Yes… it is the S-Works Tarmac SL6 in black/black, guess right? Maybe the last of it’s kind. One of the best frame set at this time: light as a feather, stiff as f*ck and a pure beauty! Of course there are varying viewpoints because it is the rim brake version but that is what I […]

New Road Frameset

Carefully considered? I don’t know but this is maybe the last chance to get a “classic/traditional” road frame in carbon. I’m not a friend of disc brakes on road bikes, not either of digital shifting. Aero is also not the final call. I want a pure classic frame, which means cable controlled and rim brakes. […]

Allez: Mavic Ksyrium SLR Bearings (Enduro Zer0 Ceramic)

Last part of the Allez rebuild is the overhauling or upgrading of the wheel set. The Mavic Ksyrium SLRs. Of course I will go for ceramic bearings but which one? Three of the big ceramic high-end bearing manufactures are ceramcispeed, c-bears and enduro. The quality is nearly the same but the price is gaping a […]

Allez: Bottle Cage

Last thing on the frame are the bottle cages. For the rebuild I go for the Ritchey WCS UD-carcon ones in black. The save extra weight titanium is also in the game =)

Allez: SRM PC8, Speed Sensor And Chest Strap

As the last year I will ride the SRM Powercontrol 8 but in a more striking color. I changed my black anodized version for the “original” red version which was quite exhausting. The Speedsensor and heartsbeat strap are still the same. Special thanks to SRM itself for the assistance against the retarded, criminal scammer which […]

Allez: Bar Tape (S-Wrap Roubaix)

Now the bar tape. In the first part of the session I will go for the S-Wrap Roubaix in 30mm. Comfortable, handy and no heat exchange in colder conditions/temperatures. Just a good tape.

Allez: Seatpost And Saddle

Today will be the day where all static parts will be mounted. In the rebuild I want a new seatpost – my pick the Ritchey WCS 1-Bolt with a seatback of 20mm. It has a nice finish which teams best with stem and handlebar plus a simple and perfect adjustment design… just one screw/bolt. Last […]
