You can use this site to get a known good XY dimensions of your handle bar position by picking the frame & stem with spacers, then you can see what other bike/frame/setups will get you to the same position.

Thanks, I’ll have a look.
I’d got this far before I lost the will to live…
Then I thought why am I comparing to the Canyon when I’ve never been convinced its ideal.
I spoke to one of the Canyon guy at an event and they said I was in between on the Speedmax, and on the Ultimate there would be more adjustment on the medium but I could go small and there was enough adjustment, the bike would be more agile/responsive (probably meant sketchy lol ), not sure if that it true though.

I have 5 good bikes all with rim brakes
All dura ace / sram red
Compared to modern 12 speed disc brakes they are basically crap.
Bikes move so fast these days

Nothing wrong with rim brakes 99.9% of the time imo.
The only time I’ve ever had a issue is coming off Dartmoor in the pi$$ing rain -25% in parts and couldnt feel my hands. I wonder how that would have workouted out with disk brakes but other than that.
Love the Sram red groupset.

- No so much when I’m riding them these days
- Marketing would have you believe that.
- If you mean the price yes they move up quickly

I have 5? Sram red groupsets all 10 speed plus spates
If I could fit 30 mm tyres on my bikes I would keep them all
I’m a crap descender I’m hoping discs help, tried them once and they were amazing
