Here are the facts: I purchased a CAAD10 105, the 2013 model on sale a couple of months ago. I was not impressed by most of the stock material, so here's what I changed:
--Wheels: Now have Mavis Ksyrium Equipe S with Mavic tires
--Seat post: Now have Thomson Elite
--Handlebar: Now have FSA low drop bar, whatever it is called.
Any other suggestion in terms of gear substitution to make the rig either cooler, lighter, faster, or more reliable?
Thanks in advance,
You mean compact bars. I have to use them as well. They are nice.
You don't need any gear substitutions really. The bike wil perform as is. You can get better front shifting from a 105 crank over the gossamer, but it's not a need. Get some spare tires, tubes, and other gear that you will NEED. It's always good to have things you need on hand. Congrats on the bike and enjoy.
oh, if you have not already, share a pic of the bike. we know what it looks like, but we have not seen yours. Hang around here often, join in on the discussion, you will become a real CAADict.
