Thanks Joe. Always appreciate your outside the box solutions.
Hi,
Sorry to bring up this thread again. Is anyone using Xentis Mark1 or Mark2 on TM01? Will there by any issues like chain rubbing on seat stay and such? Thanks in advance.
Finally finished my build after receiving my eTube TT junction box. Also ended up building a new wheelset for it. Very happy with how it turned out. Even with the heavier Ultegra Di2 (had a mix of SRAM Red/Force on the last TT bike), itās about 1 lb lighter then my old TT bike. Will add the Di2 brake levers when they come out.
Nice looking ride!
My TM02: http://heartlegsandlungs.tumblr.com/image/43186454966
Will work out how to upload/embed the image later.
- SRAM Force groupset w R2C shifters
- SRAM Quarq powermeter
- Mavic Cosmic Carbone SLR
- Veloflex Corsa 23 clinchers
- Renn 575 clincher disc
- Profile Aeria bar
- Cobb SHC170
Letās see how they turn out.
The first batch had a flag that looked like it was drawn by a 4-year-old and there was way too much space between the flag and name, but the second version was much better.
Still waiting for the ST-9071 to be available before I can finish my TM01.
Nice bike

Agree with Tillquist, nice bike. Are you sure the rear derailleur cable isnāt too long?
Nice bike
Hi guys,
I have a 2012 TM01, DI2, Black&Blue.
I need to take picsā¦
Hereās the question : how do you feel about the aeroness of this bike relative to the P5, Shivsā¦of this world ?
it looks fast, it looks hot but in the absence of any data how do we really know ?
Anyone have experience measuring relative to other superbikes ?
The only inkling Iāve seen is from Damon who said that a Scott Plasma Premium is much faster than a TM01 but that he really couldnāt divulge any more information. So theres that one tidbitā¦
I have a good idea, that based on MY set-up it is competitive in the aero department. In 2010, I rode a P3C, so that is my baseline bike. In 2011, I rode a nose-cone Shiv. I was consistently 3 min faster on a HIM and 6 in faster on an IM with the same power as the P3. I didnāt measure this scientifically (I.e. I didnāt calculate a CdA), but this was based on my general speed vs. power correlation for both training rides and race set-up. In 2012, I rode a BMC TM01. My times were consistent with the nose-cone Shiv with the same power.
So is it absolutely the fastest bike out there? I have no idea, but given my real world observations, it IS in the same ballpark as the other superbikes in aero-ness, and it is much more comfortable than the Shiv.

Thanks. After I posted my question I got this by email from someone that has been doing some tunnel testing
āthe new TM01 is pretty aero. We did not do any bike only testing though. Our aero guy says it is one of the best new bikes. In the same plane as the P5 Cervelo and the Specialized Shivā
Seems to match your findings
Thanks for sharing. Glad to see someone else found similar results.
Agree, it looks pretty ugly but itās only very slightly over SRAMās recommended length. Worth it for better shifting?

Iāve heard through the grapevine that the P5 isnāt really that much faster than a P4. After seeing this comment I tried to find an old article from when the P4 came out about how many seconds it would save you in a 40k, Ironman, etc. The best I could find was Tom Demerlyās old article. According to Tom Demerlyās article, the theoretical difference between a P3 and a P4 in an Ironman would be aboutā¦ 6 minutes.
I am 5ā9āā and i would like to know about the size. M-S or M-L for a TM 02? Thank you.
check out the sizing tool. itās for the tm01 but they seem to be same geometry

Iām 5ā9" 160# and ride a M-S.
Iām 5ft 11+ and ride a M-L.
A query about getting access to the rear brake pad holder on the drive side.
Iām running a SRAM Quarq powermeter with Red rings, which means that the drive side brake pad holder bolt isnāt accessible. Iāve tried filing down a 4mm allen key to slip in next to the chainstay and behind the big chainring, but it isnāt easy to get proper leverage. My LBS suggested changing the big chainring for another type which is not āfilledā in (e.g a round Rotor ring, SRAM Force ring or an early Red ring) in order to get access to the bolt. Has anyone tried this? Will it even work? Seems that the bolt is still right behind the teeth of the outer ring?
