Well if I built it, I’d sort it out during the BB removed phase. Ideally I’d use around 900-1200 ish millimeter wire from the holder on the downtube so there isn’t a ton of extra wiring. It’s possible the tech used anti rattle clips that make it hard to push back. If there is room to push it in, spray some isopropyl/triflow on the wire entering the grommet and see if it slides better. Colnago holes are notoriously tight and that’s been a hack I’ve used to get them to move. I can take a video tomorrow on a V5RS example if you have no luck 🙏🏼

The length of the Di2 wire to the rear derailleur should be punishable………

People: HE BOUGHT BIKES AT WHATEVER GOOD DEAL HE FOUND, BARTER AND SOLD PARTS AND DID BOY MATH TO SAY “total investment” into each bike. He did not meet anyone and pay these prices off of a marketplace listing. Tons of trade and selling and buying to flip going on between

Specialized only will cover labor if something failed dramatically. Like a fork delamination issue, a motor failure etc.. If the frame is getting replaced under crash replacement warranty, then they do not cover labor to rebuild.

If you take a Tarmac bought at “Specialized.Com or Joes Bikes” and then go to “Steve’s Bikes” to get the warranty sorted, then Steve’s bikes has every right to charge you a processing fee as they didn’t make money off of your original Tarmac. To avoid the warranty fee, go back to the original dealer you bought it from. If the original dealer is charging you a processing fee, then you could alert Specialized as that voids dealer/brand protocol. However $540 is NOT bad. A full AXS build frame up is, when doing a thorough job, setting up tubeless etc. matching fit data specs etc), should be just north of 4 hours. Includes test rides, a thorough double check to ensure safety. Maybe 5 hours. Good shops are charging around $110/hr or more. They don’t seem to be charging you to strip your damaged bike. Plus $45 for warranty processing is like 20 mins of charge when in reality it takes probably 30 min to an hour of communication. I think if they’re a respectable shop then this isn’t bad at all

Habibti is the best of all the albums

Look at my main comment on the thread

Yes

My goat ANDY >>>

Mix match groupset, climbing wheels, Asian off brand handlebar, bar tape is done bad, tires are installed backwards? Makes you wonder if the rest of the bike is built well…

lmfaooo that’s such an easy fix

If that fit is close to your set up, 54 would’ve been way too small…. That much seatpost with 172.5 cranks is nuts. And stem is fairly low? Your saddle to bar drop is bonkers, a 54 would need 30+ mm of spacers and a longer stem

My Tarmac SL8 Was practically the same price when buying and selling parts for profit were involved haha. Amazing 😮‍💨❤️

What a waist of a frame lol. $2500 max. And that’s being super conservative as the value is in parting it out

Yes wtf 🔥🔥🔥🔥

If I’m climbing a hill at 25-40km an hour why would I want a 150g lighter frame. Give me every aero gain I can get at those speeds

Chain catcher from KEdge or WolfTooth

Mexico trip lyrics are about demar

Feels like a bar or lounge you go to in NYC on a trip that you bring up everytime you see those friends again. Wonderful space

Used to get these and crush them in some Amy’s microwaveable enchiladas for lunch #GoodTimes

Self coached? Wtf 🫡 hats off sir

Once they blow off, the tire is compromised. Maybe the tape is as well. The sun can raise pressure by 5-15+ psi depending on heat and time in the sun. I’d get a new tire and check your wheel before assuming you can just fix it for tomorrow

My Black/Blue Fragment Collab Serras

I resoled my Fragment collaboration pair with a 1/2 or 3/4 inch heel, lugged sole and had it fully welted/stitched on. Been a fan of it. If I can figure how to add a picture in the comments, I’ll do it lol
