Building a new TM01 M-S from scratch (have a 2012 model with DI2 & Profile design).
While I will go with the Sram etap this time - I wonder whether there are any recommendations for aerobars that tested well with the frameset?
Cheers

You should have kept the 25, it would shave weight.

Great looking bike! What do you think of those 3T bars? Are they really noticeably better descending?

TexM,
So you were able to get a 25 in the rear to work? I had the same issue and now run 23 front and back unfortunately.

yes we changed the front to 23 and kept the 25 in the back. When you inflate the tyres on enve they are actually 26.

Pain is the propel with intergrated brakes..those rub wheels soo much i ended selling mine

I am a roadie as well and only use mine for TTs. 3 bike shops have worked on mine, specifically the rear wheel. Finally I have it to where the pads don't rub unless doing a full sprint. Brake calipers are as open as possible.

My TM02 rear brakes rubs too as my 3T orbis II wheels are wider than usual. Had to use thinner brake pads and that sorted it out though.
Nice setup on the 3T aerobars and enve wheels!

Cool, were you able to get a sense of what it's like? More or less like the current tm01 or something more exciting?

My TM02 prep'ed and go ready to go for IM Mallorca last weekend. They might be getting a little old, but they still look fantastic! Didn't miss a beat... apart from the PowerTap C1 PM packing up in the rain!
It's a MS which fits me like a glove. I'm 5'10 with a short torso and long arms and legs. Over winter, I'm going to drop the stem a little and get used to riding in a lower position.
The little red dots on the forks are glue less puncture repair patches. Been using them for a while to protect the fork and frame and they work brilliantly.
Picked it up on eBay about 10mths ago for £1,000 (inc. delivery), then a further £700 for the ZIPPs... you cannot go wrong for that price!

Thinking of a tm02 frameset as a little winter project. Hoping the tm owners can help me out with some questions.
I have hed jet6+ wheels. Any issues fitting wide rims? I see previous issues with 25c tires but I currently run 23c and am fine keeping it that way.
Fit is my biggest question. I'm looking for some perspective on the MS vs ML fit. I'm 5'9 with what I consider to be a short-ish torso (unrelated, but what would qualify me to have a short torso? I've never really seen something that says if your X measures Y in relation to Z, your torso is short /long...That's a side note though). My current set up I could compare if someone could provide their saddle nose to pad measurement?

FWIW on what tires fit the rear of the TM-01:
- Hed Jet 90/Disc with 25mm rim with Specialized Turbo 24mm works
- Vittoria Corsa 25mm tire does not

It's posted in the "New BMC thread"
Sorry BMC, I think this is pretty ugly.
