While 23mm tyres are still the norm for race bikes, the best for sportives are 25mm or even 28mm in width, as their shock dissipating, larger air pockets will pay comfort dividends on longer rides. Features Hi all, rather than take the conventional approach of going out and buying a good bike I ended up building one over the last 2 years. The Michelin Pro Race 25mm tyres create a smooth but firmish ride that takes the edge off washboard-rough surfaces, though there’s still enough of the racer’s edge left in the handling to let you know this bike is capable of ripping up the tarmac in a sprint.The SCR C2’s T700 carbon monocoque frame with carbon/aluminium fork has a balance of frame geometry that works for fast and slow sportive riders alike.Giant was the first company to use the now familiar compact frame geometry when it introduced its immensely popular, race orientated TCR range in 1996. I had the cosmic elites beforehand mate but I got these at such a good price I couldnt say no! Already have an account with us? Its Rival equipment is the mid-range equivalent of Campagnolo Centaur and the new Shimano Ultegra SL. its all about getting them right though, Id rather I felt good on them than them looking good for pics tbh.

The levers are set up incorrectly on the bars. You've been subscribed to our newsletter. Loving that Giant frame, both the colour and geometry, but that is a very deep drop! You certainly don't do things the conventional way Paul!

More recently Giant introduced the SCR design with its more inclusive rider appeal, and at the same time expanded the range of sizes across both model ranges to make it easier to get the perfect fit. The flattened chainstays should kill road buzz, but how much can the smooth ride simply be put down to the selection of unusually wide Michelin tyres?The SRAM Rival components and Race Face bar and stem look cool but it’s not a light combination compared to the parts on some more affordable bike slike the Trek Madone 4.5.In a market dominated by Shimano and Campagnolo it’s good to see SRAM, the third player in the groupset market, represented here.

The drops needs to be angled up about 15 degrees from horizontal and then move up the levers.When a cyclist has a disagreement with a car; it's not who's right, it's who's left. Along with an upright riding position, tyre choice is a crucial factor in the spec of a sportive bike; get it wrong and you’ll be scanning your map for smoother shortcuts. Average in the hotly fought £1500-£1800 price point Mavic Aksium Race wheels are a slightly disappointing spec.
