2016 Sirrus modification progress - with some pics
I feel a little pretentious with a show and tell thread but I'm always looking for this kind of thing when researching so I'll start a thread with the hope it may benefit someone else's research. At work and can't be too comprehensive but I'll get something started and add subsequent posts if there's interest.
Bike: 2016 Specialized Sirrus Elite Disc (specs here https://www.specialized.com/us/en/bi...te-disc/106262 Modifications: - Sora R3550 Crankset 50/34T 170mm (changed from 48/32 172.5, better gearing, no more knee pain) - BBR60 Ultegra bottom bracket (I bent the previous crank spindle, new bracket has external bearings) - Shimano Deore CS-HG50 9spd 12T-25T cassette (love the closer ratio, never outspin, cheap) - Shimano CN-HG73 9spd chain - Specialized Comp Multi Stem 90mm +/-17D slammed (pretty good fit, good way to get aero) - Profile Design Carbon Aero bars (still tinkering with but gaining speed especially into wind, great upgrade) - Shimano A530 pedals (SPD clip in and platform on reverse side) - Ergon GS1-L grips (tried 4 different styles and like these the best, even cork wrapped some for a while) - Specialized Power Comp saddle (excellent saddle for me, no numbness once I found my spot for/aft/angle) - Bontrager Insta-mount cell (cheap and works well but over stretched on the top tube, work in progress) - Nightrider 750 headlight (super bright, gets a little hot, lasts a while, clip breaks too easy, had a 450 break too) - Specialized purist bottole and keg can (good for holding everything but I keep tube out as to add cell charger) - Wahoo bluetooth cadense speed wireless sensor (excellent way to keep your pace! $50) http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...ps7qwmqdcq.jpg http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...pswkrjr8zx.jpg http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...psuqkk1u2m.jpg http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...psmufbnuqb.jpg http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...psliycmcxd.jpg |
Wow nice mods you got there making the bike looks great :thumb:

Nice setup! Great work.

What size is the frame?

Congrats on the mods! The fishing pole gets a big thumbs up also :)
That's how I ride - load up a cooler, or beach towel, or sandwiches. It's all good.. |

Cool bike and mods, I'm making some subtle additions to my Sirrus too.
What rack is that and what load is it rated for do you know? |

Ibera also makes a rack for bikes with disc brakes that fastens to the rear stays. I used it on my Sirrus with panniers and a trunk. It carryed all I needed for a 5 day 275 mile trip.

Thanks. It's an Ibera and does pretty well but not sure of total load.

Sorry I didn't have a better photo. This was taken on the Katy trail last September. It was a great ride. I road with my brother and we really didn't camp. We stayed at bed and breakfasts with the exception of two nights. We stayed in a cabin one night and at a biker's hostel another where you need a sleeping bag. If I had gone by myself I was planning to camp. I had a great time anyway. Really didn't have a list of what I brought. |
