morning for anyone riding to the event, Spesh confirmed they have secure bike storage on site. (not the biggest surprise I'm sure). I'm riding from Dorking if you want to join me. going full gas on my Levo. see you later. my shirt will say "Dorking C***s" if you want to say hi.

should there be side to side wobble? no. derailleurs only work properly when everything is lined up and stable.

sounds my cup of tea - I want to ride not cruise.

bankrupt middle aged dads.

thx, yeah that would be my hunch too. likely the SL rider worked a bit harder. which is fine, some people like that.

My hunch is not. Have the Levo prices dropped since launch? Spesh ain't charity at the end of the day.

same %ge or same total watts used?

that chain wouldn't stay gold for long in the UK.

GWS dude.

Understood Rob, just joshing.

I reckon there's a sweet spot somewhere between a Stumpy and a full fat Levo. Perhaps the SL is on it ...

Rob now only rides dry dusty trails in exotic foreign climes. Peaslake in February? Pass. (don't blame him).

yup 11.

for weight reference: real world weight of my 2019 Levo Comp Carbon in medium: 21.7kg (with pedals, Minion DHF on the front, carbon bars, Ergon saddle, otherwise stock). so Rob's XL, without pedals, is 700 grams more. must be close to a kg difference with pedals. surprised. caveat: bathroom...

fair point Mitch. that's not to sat everyone who has the heavy duty components actually gets best use from them. also there's much more variance in rider weight than bike weight.

can anyone who know about bits assess the VFM/benefits of the Expert over the Comp Carbon please, for the £1500 price difference. ta Turbo Levo SL Comp Carbon | Specialized.com Turbo Levo SL Expert Carbon | Specialized.com

good point, me too. I have a garage. I'm not doing the Sunday ride but happy to help out if I can.

how?

lolz. I could eat at Sorrel or buy an SL, but not both.

yeah (I live in Dorking). Travelodge if you want cheap. White Horse if you're OK to spend. Good beer at Cobbett's micro pub in West Street (closes 2030). the Star usually has bands on Saturdays. Or go to The Cricketers South Street for well kept Fullers. Rialto for non-chain pizza, OK curry...
