To be honest, between the Garmin head unit & cadence/speed sensor on the back wheel, the ANT pickup on the rear chain stay & the Bontrager head unit I didn't think it would work without the Bontrager sensor. I'll give it a try.

I'm currently experimenting with short reach flat top bars on other bikes, with an eye toward investing in some here. (Buying cheap used stuff and putting it on other bikes and if I like it, buying for this bike.) For instance I am liking the 3T ergonova on another of my bikes, but wish it had a flatter top.

I really like my Zipp SC CSL SSR bars. The flat top is real nice and I place the cables on the rear so it feels even flatter.

The Duotrap and Garmin are both ANT+. I've used them together before.

That is how my bike is setup. Get the Bontrager sensor, it is ANT+ That way you have nothing zip tied to your bike.

Ah, the Bontrager Trip 4W is not ANT+. But I should be able to get rid of the Garmin speed/cadence sensor that is basically sitting right on top of the Trek Duo Trap sensor.

I meant the Ridley, sorry my bad, I was tripping the other day.

My 2013 Trek Madone 5
 

2013 Trek Madone 5. Series. Ultegra group and Easton EA90 wheels.

If i just picked one of those up, I'd be registering on bike forums to show it off too. Nice bike.

Nice. Are those the 50s or 58s?

bars taped the wrong way, qr levers on the wrong side, bars should be angled up a little, but it looks good.

what size cassette is that?

i would've bought a nicer helmet before carbon clincherss

I'm a top down kind of guy, drive sides the right side, I like my bars where they are, and thanks.

11-26

That's not a helmet, its a bike stand.

Those are similar to the 3T ergonovas where the tops are egg-shaped/ovalized but Zipp does have the Vuka sprint road bar where the tops are as flat and aero as they can get.

I think it's hot. The reflector isn't hot but that's not enough to make it a Not.

lol. Thanks.

I'd replace that bike stand helmet and yeah, you gotta fix those wrong-sided skewers.

Seat clamp is also a *****-killer.

Does the wind not blow where you live?

Hell, might as well get it over with. After seeing ravenmore's Giant, I decided to go for the glossy black bar tape, but to be honest, I'm really not down with it on my bike, and I don't know why; maybe I'm just used to plain old Cinelli and Bontrager bar tape, or maybe the glossy color just looks a bit forced on my ride. I'm planning on Ultegra wheels later on this year, but so far, this is what I have:

I don't think you like it as much as ravenmore's because the overall appearance of his bike is set up more aggressive and IMO just looks better than yours (no offense intended).I think it looks ok on your bike as well. Just may take some getting used to.

Yeah, I know I've got a more relaxed bike, and honestly, I'm pretty happy with the way it's set up now: good enough to be happy, but not so good that I'm not setting aside money for a new bike.

Also, the black and white contrast used to be a good thing for me, but as I find myself switching out more white parts for black and more black parts for silver, the white is starting to get on my nerves. I'd really like to have something with less contrast, like a #333 gray or something.

Great bike. Definitely hot.

Can I ask what she weighs?
