    Quick question – has anyone got an AL or CF version – are they comfy and a good ride or is the AL version a bit “buzzy” and the CF version a bit too soft?

    Recently read a review – which seemed to come to these conclusions but i’d be interested to hear what owners on here think.

    Looking at long distance and club rides so comfort and then performance….

    I’d be looking at XL in either and 105 or perhaps Ultegra with discs.  Not interested in electronic shifting and the difference between the AL and CF version is the cost of a good set of wheels.  

    So what kind of ride experiences do folk have of these?  Did you have to do anyting to make the AL version more comfy that kinda thing…

    Cheers,

    J

    With Endurace, the Carbon

    With Endurace, the Carbon ones come with the Split leaf seatpost which the Al don’t so that can affect comfort as well. I have the Al and don’t mind it but cannot really compare to a carbon at the moment as I don’t have one. I will say that the Al was lighter then most low to medium priced Carbons I could fine. The 9.0 came in at 8.2kgs when they used to do the DT Swiss wheels. They now come with Mavix and are about 8.7kgs.

    Bought CF Ultimate Ultegra

    Bought CF Ultimate Ultegra Disc earlier in the year. I use for long distance and short fast rides and it’s great – a lot of bike for the money. My only negative is there was a bit of handle bar buzz not helped with the 25mm clinchers it came with which I had at 100psi. Loads of tyre clearance so I put gp4000 28mm which actually measure over 30mm and dropped the pressure and it’s perfect. I’ve also got a second set of wheels with tubeless which also run at lower pressure.
