2012 SC 7.8
Just for info - I tried fitting Continental GP triathlon tyres to my SC but found the front brake clearance was inadequate and was causing some tyre rubbing on the caliper. You could just about dial it out by slackening the brake cable and opening out the caliper a bit which creates a bit more clearance at the top but it was too marginal for comfort. I've put the Bonti R3's back on for now.

I've used these on my '05 Madone and they seem a good compromise between puncture resistance and performance.
A couple of quick questions:
Anybody found a good tough tyre that performs well and fits the SC? How tough are the R3's? For me, puncture resistance is more important than performance.
If I want to change the aero bar extensions, can I get the cable out of the Sram 500 shifters without disconnecting them at the derailleur ends?
How well does the SRAM Force chainset/cassette perform with Di2? I'm hoping to try ultegra Di2 if they ever make TT shifters for it.
Thanks - and great thread, but wish it was indexed!!
