Any specials on the aerobars? Pretty please?

Do you have stack & reach numbers for the stealth frameset? I didn't see any on ST or on your website. (well, there were some geometry #'s on your site, but not explicitly stack and reach).

Will you ship to Australia?

the link for the alloy frameset regarding weight, specs, and faq's doesn't work on your website. Interested, but you need to include more specifics on the framesets so we know what we are getting.

Link has been fixed!! When you click the picture for "geometry, faq's, etc", a .pdf will now pop-up for you.

Figures - I just bought the 82/101 wheelset last month for $800 8'0 I'll just have to convince myself that the Sapim CX-Ray spokes were worth the added $150

Planet X Pro Carbon 82/101mm TT Wheelset...Full Carbon...MSRP $849 X-Mas BLOWOUT: $649

Question:
How about the 50 tubulars for cyclocross? I'm looking for a 2nd set of racing wheels and this is a great price as long as you think they will hold up. I've been using a set of Token 50 carbon tubulars for a few years with no problems and I would think these are very similiar (if not the same) wheels.

Michael

is there any possibility of the disc wheel going on sale in the near future?

Anyone have a Stealth set up as a road bike?

The 50mm carbon tubulars have been used by MANY for cyclocross racing. They hold up extremely well, and the wheels are warranted for 2 years...however, the warranty will NOT cover abuse. CX racing does not constitute abuse!!

Here is a comment direct from the main planet x website in the U.K. "We even have Cyclocross riders racing on them. Tough, strong, light and predictable in all conditions, this is a killer wheelset."

I have 1 PX Clincher disc...it's been used 1x...by ME at B2B Ironman just 3 weeks ago. So, it has exactly 112 miles on it.
UK sells this new for 585GBP which equals $970USD...not including shipping.

I will sell this to a slowtwitch readers only for $700 INCLUDING shipping. PM me if you want it. There are NO decals on the disc. I DO have a magnet glued on for a computer.

Brian

SOLD - so I'm going to order a set - before I do, will the Aerobar be on special (there is an earlier post with someone asking)? I' possibly like to get both.

EDIT: Crap - I just saw that the build is using internal nipples - now I'm not so sure about these for cross use - will have to think about it a bit more. Sucks to have to pull a tire off to true the wheel.

Thanks

the Planet X Pro Carbon SL Road Frameset page says sold out and will be shipping May 10?

Great things never come from comfort zones.

Not sure where you're seeing that...I just checked the site. Here is the link: http://www.planet-x-usa.com/...L-Road-Frameset.aspx

unfortunately, we are currently OUT OF STOCK on the carbon aerobar...sorry folks. The U.K. DOES have it for sale...but not at these crazy x-mas prices...

thanks, this is what I saw on the page

Insane is a great word for this. I have a feeling were going to be seeing more then a few of these built up soon.

Any specials on the carbon road frame built as a complete bike - Ultegra and/or Dura Ace?

I've been eyeing the 2009 Cervelo RS which is on sale now and has gotten fantastic reviews. How does this frame compare in quality, weight, ride characteristics and suitability for hilly terrain?

Thanks

I wish this wheelset came in Clincher!

Sorry...don't have them handy...px (uk) and the factories don't provide them. However...if need be, we can get our laser levels and measuring tapes out!!

The link on the build kit details still does not work. Can you please fix that too?

What are everyone's thoughts on the Planet X Pro Carbon 82/101mm TT Wheelset?

649 for a complete wheelset sounds like a hell of deal, but I"m curious if the depth on those wheels are too much for hilly courses, I'm doing IMWI next year as my first IM and cautious about wheel weight.

Thanks for the note. On our website, we do have the option for you to build a complete bike. If you start at the FRAMES section, add the color and size you want, there is a drop-down box that you allow you add a BUILD KIT. At checkout, enter the SLOWTWITCH promotional code, and the frame price will be reduced.

Example: Pro Carbon SL Road Bike with Sram Rival: $1,653 + Shipping
Pro Carbon SL Road Bike with Ultegra 6700: $2,105 + Shipping

Stealth TT bike with 2010 Sram Force: $2,055 + Shipping
Stealth TT bike with 2010 Sram Red: $2,655 + Shipping

** A quick disclaimer...we do NOT stock groupsets...complete bikes will typically take 7-10 days from order to shipping...We custom order and build to your EXACT specifications to ensure the best fit **

Link is fixed...boy, I didn't realize how many broken links we had...sorry!!

Link is fixed...thanks!!

Sold!

Reduce 1 Small Stealth from your inventory. Awesome deal, thanks Brian.

Very respectable wheelset and at that price it's an awesome deal. Definitely not too deep for hilly courses...not too heavy either.

I rode IMWI on this wheelset in 07 and 09. Did 5:30 and 5:15. Had zero issues with them.

Does it come in a clincher or only tubular?

The 82/101 wheelset is only in TUBULAR. If you are looking for a deep clincher wheelset, I have several pairs of 85mm front and 85mm rear made by Edge Design in Taiwan...a great set...no decals...2-year warranty...$789...3 left!! Same wheel as pictured below...no decals though. 1828g front and rear...Shimano or Campy.

I believe that there is a distributor in Australia. I don't want to step on toes. If they don't have what you're looking for, I'll be happy to help!!
Just let me know

Brian,

Can you split the 101/82 up? I'm just interested in the rear wheel in a shimano. I bought a set of the 50/50 tubulars. Also is there any discount on components? I'd like to get the stem, seatpost and seat to go along with the frame I bought a few months back.

Thanks!

I can do the rear only for $400. I really don't like breaking the set up, but I'm sure someone out there will want the 82 front...right everyone? PM me about the other components...I have LOTS of stems, seatposts, saddles, etc. PM me and we'll work through the 101mm.

Do you charge extra for red text?

-Jot

Someone had asked about the stack and reach for the various sizes and I'm interested in find out too since its not listed here or on the Planet X website.

Anyone have a link to a good site showing how to mount tubulars?
I have never rode tubulars and never wanted tubulars, but the deal on the 82/101's was just too good to pass up.

Any suggestion on some good tubular tires would be appreciated too.

Link to ST's info:

http://www.slowtwitch.com/...nance/tiremount.html

VeloNews also just did an article on glueing tubulars - take a look on their website. It was for cyclocross tubulars so the gluing method is for the tires to STAY ON, I "think" Tri/TT people like to glue a bit differently - for easy flat changes.

How is 20% off an "insane deal?" Not ripping on Planet X o the fact that they are giving a discount but just curious about the marketing.

I think the "Insane" deal is not the 20% off, but 20% off an already low price. Not sure you could find any similiar products at close to the same prices.

Parktool.com have tons of links

What are everyone thoughts on the Renn 5ive Eight compared to the Planet X Carbon 50mm? I am looking at both in clincher.

Got one more deal for you guys out there...

how about 650 wheels, are they still not available in the US?

sorry...still no 650's in the U.S.

I'm a Planet X owner. WHY DOES PLANET X KEEP AVIODING A QUESTION THAT HAS BEEN ASKED TWICE ABOUT THE STACK AND REACH NUMBERS FRAMES. THIS IS A CRITICAL BIT OF INFORMATION NEEDED BY ANYONE WANTING TO PURCHASE A FRAME.

Spam spam spam, and spam posted in the wrong forum.

How about taking out an ad like a legit company?

I have no problem at all with this being in this forum. DeSoto and I believe Infinit promotes specials from time to time, Bikesport MI used to, and there are others as well, I'm sure. As long as the subject line is clear (and this one is, although maybe we could loose the all-caps) then just don't open the thread if you don't like it.

If you own one...why not measure your own damn frame? Critical...that is funny.

---

----------------------------------------------------------

What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

I'm glad he posted here since I don't read the classifieds and I bought a pair of wheels (as did a friend I told about the deal).

Bump...just to keep this bogus ad from a company that is not 'legit' on top....

---

----------------------------------------------------------

What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

I do cause its spam, plain and simple. And worse is spame IN THE WRONG FORUM. That's like spam squared. Worse, its not even that good a deal. So spam squared + not good deal.

Saying Bikesport did something, not a ringing endorsement BTW.

So unless you want to wade through tons of spam in the Tri forum, don't support spammers.

Hint- check out Ebay if you want this stuff cheaper. And you can put your own decals on it.

Yeah, and it has been smooth sailing for them ever since.

---

-----
coming soon...

I wasn't commenting on whether this was a good marketing approach or not, simply that this approach is accepted for select vendors (DeSoto, Infinit, for example), but not, apparently, for others.

For what it's worth, I've bought things off of DeSoto's "Blatant Ads" posted to the main forum and will seriously consider betting a Planet X frame for my wife because I saw this one. So for this individual, the tactic works.

I've been keeping an eye on the UK site for 82/101's for a friend and just spent $650 of her christmas bonus.

I've also eyed a complete bike after being impressed while building hers and seeing how nice a bike it was,
and the deal wasn't bad either: 899 pounds (when it was lower)=$1350 for a complete Ultegra bike, unbuilt.

Now she'll have a complete PX setup. Thanks for posting this on ST.

----------------------------

My apologies for having posted this in the incorrect place...no intent to offend.

Supporters - thanks! All we're trying to do is give you guys a great deal.

Thanks for being a Planet X owner...we appreciate your business. For you, and others, we have "finally" created the following Stack & Reach table for the Planet X Stealth frameset. I hope this is helpful to you and others.

Frame Size Stack Reach
X-Small 47.5 38.0
Small 49.0 39.6
Medium 50.6 40.7
Large 52.3 41.8
X-Large 53.6 42.9

would you ship to Europe with USPS ?

I got my wheels today. What type of tubulars would you recommend?

What is the rider weight limit on the 82/101 wheelset?

What's the shipping to Toronto, Ontario, Canada?

I've got the order page open and am considering the wheels.

Happy to...as long as there isn't a distributor in your country. PM me with your address and I'll quote shipping.

It's dangerous to actually give my opinion (i've found). Anyway...my top 2 are the Continental Competition or the Vittoria Corsa EVO CX

Generally recommend not over 260lbs...thanks!

Thanks for the consideration. I've done some research for you. USPS Priority Mail is $41.75, FedEx Ground is $32.85
These, of course, were estimates not knowing your exact address, but it should be within a few dollars one way or the other.

Does it come with a cassette or do you have to order that separately?
How do I fill it? I need the valve extenders right?

The website says the Carbon 50 Clinchers will ship December 12th. Are they currently in stock? I am from Toronto, but will be in Florida from Dec 18 to Dec 30 and want to have them shipped to me while I am in Florida to avoid duty issues.

Can you use glue tape instead of actual glue?

No problems at all. Our shipment has arrived, and will be in our warehouse this Thursday, the 10th. We'll send them wherever you need!!

Absolutely. We recommend the Tufo Extreme Tape.

Would you recommend tape over glue? What glue would you recommend? And what valve extenders and size would you recommend (or something else)? Sorry for all the questions. I'm new to tubulars.

Gluing is the "preferred" method. With this being your first time, I would not necessarily recommend you doing this yourself. Your LBS should be able to do it no problem. We recommend the Continental glue...don't use Mastik...we've had some problems with their chemicals damaging the carbon.

And valve extenders? Recommendation? Then I'll stop bothering you. This clearly hasn't been worth it for YOU.

Are you kidding? Advice to my customers and prospective customers is why I do this!! This is the best part of the job. As you can imagine, I stock several different types of valve extenders. I also have them in silver, black, gold and red. Just tell me what you prefer, and I'll send them out to you for only $13...including shipping!!

I didn't see this on your website. Do you also sell tires?

If it's listed as special order I'm guessing that's just as bad as out of stock and is no go for the deal?

--DB

Wow, that was uncalled for. Hasn't he answered every one of your questions??

Sorry. Misunderstood. I was not dissing him. I was trying to convey that I buy a wheelset from him and then I hit him with a hundred questions. My point was that after having to answer all my questions, the sale probably wasn't worth it to him. He has been GREAT in responding to my many posts and has also answered several PMs I sent him. Sorry if it looked like I was attacking him or ungrateful. Strictly a miscommunication. He has been great. I have been a pain in asking so many questions.

Sorry, my bad, misunderstood!

Can I order a complete set - rims, valve extenders, tires, skewers, cassette?

Absolutely!! So, you know the price of the wheels as listed. The valve extenders, carbon specific brake pad and skewers are $42 for all 3. I have the Vittoria Corsa EVO CX tires in stock (only 2 left), and I will mark those down from $150 to $140 for the pair, and the cassette will depend on the kind you want. The tires are the NEW Vittorias, with 320tpi. I have a LOTof the 2010 Sram Force Powerglides in stock, and will offer that for $62. Let me know!!

Yes...we do sell tires as well. My 'high-line' are the NEW Vittoria Corsa EVO CX, 320tpi tubulars...I'll sell the pair for $140. If you want a good training tire, I sell the Schwalbe Milano's for $90 for the set.

Are the 82/101 Wheelset the equivalent to a Zipp 808/404 in terms of depth and weight? This seems like a great deal, what I am missing here

great prices, I think Ill pick up some of those wheels.... ;)

You are correct...what's missing is that Zipp certainly has a nice advantage with their patented dimpled technology. Zipp is an outstanding wheelset if you can afford them. These PX 82/101's are ALSO fantastic wheels, and are used by MANY of my pro's. Head to head in the wind tunnel...Zipp likey comes out on top. Last comparison...Zipps cost about $2,000 more.

Any specials for the complete stealth bike built?

Can I get the road frame with BB30?

PM me with the component group you're looking for as well as the wheel type (alloy or carbon) and I'll put together a package for you that you CAN'T say "no" to...

Sorry...no BB30

Sorry for my ignorance but doesn't the 82/101 refer to rim depth and if so wouldn't these match up the Zipp 808 an 1098?

Purchased the road frame for my wife. Thanks for the great deals.

Thanks for the purchase!! It's shipping first thing tomorrow am...

I think I'm ready to pull the trigger on a bike, but I'd like to speak to a person to verify a few things. Is there any way I can speak to a person to ask a few questions first? I sent an email from the website. Please call. I'm at a Chicago area code.

Could you offer the 50mm tubular front in all black, no decals?

---

Ride Hard! Have Fun!

Is there a special on the Uncle John CX bike? I see it on the website but was not listed here.

I just got the frame...ordered Sunday and received on Wednesday. Looks perfect! Now its time to start building it up.

To anybody thinking about this deal, think quick! Communication and service from these guys is top notch.

ordered some Carbon tubulars for next CX season, just got em today, super sweet :D

Yes, I am interested in this as well - what is included in the frameset?

Tx

It was nice talking to you yesterday...thanks for the business!!

Great timing!!! I just sent out a special LAST NIGHT on the Uncle John special through Constant Contact. Frameset is normally $549, and I just reduced it to $399 through the new year. Use the same code: SLOWTWITCH at checkout in the "promotional code" box for the discount!! We have ALL sizes...even the 590mm!!

Thanks for the business!!

Sorry...the decals are under the clear coat!!

I want a White Pro Carbon SL Road frame in medium, I see they are no available as of now, will you be getting more any time soon? I see you have the black in medium, is it painted black or clear coated carbon?

Thanks,
Sonny

---

"The faster you get, the harder it is to get faster."

We will not be getting the white medium road in stock for quite a while. The black is clear coated carbon. Thanks for the inquiry!!

Do you have any disc wheels available? If so, I've VERY INTERESTED! Thanks!

RyanGiuliano / http://www.ryangiuliano.com / 2018 IM TX, IM WI, IM Kona

Thank you for the business!! We really appreciate it and are THRILLED that you like the wheels!!

Shipping to Canada is generally $55 per box.

Thanks for the note. We have 1 Clincher disc available that has exactly 112 miles on it...from my personal IM at B2B. More than willing to give you a GREAT price on it...PM me if your interested!!

so the 82/101 combo is only tubular?

That is correct...it's only tubular. However, I have 2 sets of 85/85 clinchers if that suits you better. PM if interested.

pmed about front wheel

Been away for x-mas...pm you back tonight!!

SRAM Force groupo is on my bike now. It's the cat's @ss. Beautiful stuff....

Thanks for the note!! It's a FANTASTIC Group.

2 Left everyone!!!

Great deals, what is the price on the 85/85's mentioned above?

I just rec'd my frame today and all I could say is wow. Planet X Pro Carbon SL Road Frameset. The frame looks and feels awesome! Blue was my second choice since white was out of stock and man am I happy. It is beautiful!!! Paint is incredible, I know 'cause my family is in the auto body business. Cant wait to start to build. Scott, over at Planet-X-usa is awesome. A true pleasure to deal with, he will help with questioning in any way he can and fast. If you are thinking of a new build or want a new bike whole, give these guys a shot. I am more than happy and satisfied, I can't say enough. Thanks Scott.

Just received my 82/101 Carbon wheels today. They look awesome! The fit and finish is very precise and the carbon looks great. Even the packaging was top notch. Very impressed with the quality and service from Brian. Pics to follow soon.

Thanks for the note!! I'm glad your happy with the wheels..you'll be even happier when you have a chance to ride them!!

Brian

Ordered a set of 80/101 for a friend as well. She likes looking at them, says they're pretty(and that's all that really matters, right?) In this weather they've been wall art for two months. Hopefully she will get a chance to ride them soon.

Any upcoming deals on a Stealth frame or complete bike? I built hers up this time last year and was impressed.

---

----------------------------

Thanks for the note...glad she thought the wheels were "pretty."

Your timing on the complete bike question is perfect...and you are literally the FIRST person to hear this...

We have just ordered 30 complete bikes...18 stealths and 12 road bikes...a little experiment for us. We have always specialized in custom building...but we also knew that with the discounts we got on 30 completes, that there would be a nice market for them.

So, we have two models...for sake of argument, call them the "pro" and the "amateur" models. I have ordered 9 of each. Of those 9, 3 are small, 3 medium and 3 large...ALL BLACK STEALTHS (White to come later in the spring/summer).

The "pro" build has Sram Red components, 82/101 carbon tt wheelset and planet x carbon aerobars and extensions.

The "amateur" build has Sram Rival components, Planet X Model B alloy wheels and planet x carbon aerobars and extensions.

The "pro" build is going to sell for $2,899 and the "amateur" build is going to sell for $1,799.

I am going to start taking deposits immediately for these, as I believe that most will be sold prior to arrival on March 17th. Deposit will be $500.

Below is a sample of what the bike will look like...obviously this picture has Shimano components, but you get the drift...Black Stealth, Planet X 82/101's, and Planet X carbon tt bars.

Blessings,

Brian

Hope you'll do the same with the Pro 650c models in XXS and XS when the frames become available mid-March.
