Hi ST,
I am currently assessing several options for a tri bike setup. For consistency with my road bike, I would like to have disc brakes and a Sram groupset. Making a bike fit next week to determine which works the best for me but wanted to get some opinions beforehand. Below are the shortlisted options:
- Cervélo P5 Disc, custom built with Sram AXS (probably 1x, would you go Force or Red?)
- Cervélo P-Series, Sram Force AXS (1x)
- BMC Timemachine 01 Disc, Sram Force AXS (2x)
- Felt IA Advanced Disc, Sram Force AXS (2x)
I am quite tempted with a 1x setup but thatâs not the most important criteria on my list. I want to have a decent storage capacity for 70.3 events, ease to travel with the bike.
Wheels: the idea was to use my current pair of Enve 5.6. I have however found that my CK hubs (Gen1) are not compatible with Sram XDR. So here again several options:
- swap the rear hub for a Gen2 (probably an extra $700)
- sell the Enves and use stock wheels coming with the new bike
- sell both Enves and stock wheels and get something else
Leaning towards the first option but would like to hear what you guys would do.
Looking forward to read what you would choose, or what you have chosen if my options were also on your shortlist.
Thanks!!
