    Glad they solved the seat post slipping issue. We got our hands on these during the pandemic and I kid you not, the amount of seat posts slipping were like Canyon Aeroad level high 😂 it was up there with Factor Ostro and Seka Exceed RDC. All God Tiers of seat post slipping

    I got my A9x last year after taking a shot in the dark on the even cheaper strattos model. Loved both! Haven’t had to use the extra seat clamp no slip issues here but I think it did come with paste back then

    Pretty amazing price when considering Di2 Dura Ace (12spd) comes in at about 3k on its own. (I paid about that for my frame!) The frame holds up and it seems they got the BB trued enough for you to pull out some serious power wins so I'm a little jealous!

    Almost bummed seeing this come out. Back in January, I bought a TCR, but I was very very close to picking up one of these. Only reason I didn’t is because the lbs hadn’t seen the brand before, and I wanted to make sure I wasn’t the first one coming into the shop

    EJ I Think You Should Do a Vintage Steel Frame & Modern Carbon Parts Build.
    My 1987 Peugeot Perthus Pro Reynolds 753 Road Bike No Carbon What so Ever Weighs 8.3KG with Vintage Look Metal Pedals and Metal Downtube Shifters.
    I Think if I went Carbon Crazy Wheels, Carbon Handle Bars, Carbon Rim Brakes, Carbon Crank, Carbon Saddle, Carbon Seat post and carbon Down Tube shifters id Get the Bike Close to 7KG.
    I Think you need a Vintage Road Bike With Full Carbon Parts as a race bike to compare against the modern bike you have now EJ, Would Be A Great Watch To See you Race On a Vintage Steel Bike Tricked out With Full Carbon. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🤙🤙

    EJ, you, Tylers (plural), team POA, Jordan, etc etc should team up to race the 5-day stage race - “indieVelo Grand Tour”
    They are looking for some sponsors too, maybe you could make something happen for you and your sponsors?!

    Hello EJ, did you end up also changing the seat clamp when you upgraded your saddle? If so, what type of seat clamp did you end up switching to? Thanks,

    so it has an integrated seat post wedge clamp and collar clamp on top?

    • @rocco5466
      @rocco5466 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes. Collar is optional but I'm using it on mine now after the occasional slipping and now it's bullet proof

      @timtaylor9590 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@rocco5466 it's funny to me because I got the idea from some of the pros who run the custom plate holders that clamp around the seat post. Just lower that to the top tube and you got a clamp that works. Turns out theyre already doing it.
