    Great review! Excellent details about all of the different components. I bought a Cervelo Aspero 5 after seeing your Aspero review. The Madone Gen8 is on my shortlist for my next road bike.

    I don't like trek as a brand but gotta admit this bike looks very good. I like this semi aero light tube shape and semi aero wheels around 40mm. This is just a style I like. I've also got a semi aero climbing bike Scott addict rc and prefer this style. But man this new madone looks really gooood. Wheels also look great and matches the frame

    • @DennisGonzalez101
      @DennisGonzalez101  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thx man. I definitely agree. Although I do like aero bikes. I put Reynolds 58-62 today for my long Z2 ride and the bike looks kind of weird with deep wheels I think the 40-45 combination looks so fire 🔥 on it.

      @kubackjeee 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@DennisGonzalez101 yes aero wheels match aero bikes. For those aero optimized climbing bikes like the new madone or my addict the semi aero wheels look best as they match the frame. Can't wait for your review of magene exars. Would also like to get a comparison with deep wheelset on the same frame, is it worth to compromise the looks for deeper wheels.

    Hey man ridding on the flats is my thing. I can get the SL copy of this bike. Waiting for your full in-depth review before I cop this bike. I race on cobbles a lot and the tire clearance could help me there.

      Thx man appreciate that. Is actually the original one from trek but I got lucky this store had one that a customer order and they were able to sell it to me because he said he didn’t need one. I had reached out to k edge and other companies and nobody makes one yet because the bike is so new and this one from trek is back order until October so I got lucky 😅.

    Dennis, I just saw your comment below about the frame size. So, it is the recommended size for you, M/L. Now, do you wish you had gone one size smaller or bigger , after all this time riding??
    I am curious about your choice of frame size because I am 5‘7“ tall and I currently have the Cervelo Aspero in size 51, which suits me well (apart from now wanting narrower handlebars, a longer stem- from 90mm to 100-=, and shorter cranks). I bought it after your Aspero 5 review. It's already ONE size down from 54cm that the website says I should be.
    I ride the Aspero 51 cm with a completely slammed stem with NO problems ever and it tfeels like I could go a couple cm further down.
    I am currently looking into getting the Soloist, and when I compared the geometry of size 51 Soloist vs. 51 Aspero, I was a bit concerned about the 16 mm difference in stand over height, with the Soloist being taller somehow…. my LBS who is going to build the bike from frameset up, suggested that I might get the 48 cm Soloist, and that we can offset the smaller size with a longer stem and other adjustments…
    At first, I thought that would be waaay too small, it's really is a tiny bike (head tube just 86 mm..) but seeing some guys almost my size--maybe an inch shorter- and riding size 48 Soloist, I am torn between size 51 and 48.
    I don't know if I get an enormous 130 mm stem and seatpost to maximum extension on size 48, if it's going to screw up the steering and fit of the bike (my Aspero has been professionally fitted for me and my fitter believes I am absolutely firmly in size 51 for the Soloist as well)
    I’m curious about your thoughts on getting a bike that is TWO sizes down from recommended. Thanks! This is Stan from KS, by the way.
    Oh, And also the gap between size 51 and 48 just seems a lot more extreme than, say, the difference between 56 and 54… or 58 and 56…. 48 cm Aspero/Soloist really looks like a bike for 5’3’’ guys or something. Plus, I just found out that size 51 on Cervelo’s is identical to SIZE 49 of Tarmac SL8, the geometry is literary the same for them, down to a millimiter…

    • @DennisGonzalez101
      @DennisGonzalez101  23 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Haha that’s nice that somebody actually notice little things like that. I use the osmo pocket 2 for that and most of the other clips. It has a gimble which means I don’t have to use electronic stabilizing and don’t crimp the image. Love that little camera for everything off the bike such a good quality with the 1 inch sensor and very easy and small to carry even while riding.
