Try downloading the Mavic phone app. It has a tire pressure calculator that should give you a good place to start. Options include tire size, rim width, rider weight, tubes vs tubeless, and...

Agreed! That's a great bike. Ride the heck out of it and enjoy!

For what it's worth, about twice a year I also go through the same thought process. "My current bike is pretty good, but look how...

I also like the clean lines of that frame. Round tubes. Horizontal top tube. Modern and muscular looking (i.e. with the large diameter tubes), but still classic in overall profile.

Help! I lost my bike!

I need help. I tried to take a photo of my bike, but now I can't find it!
I could have sworn I left it in front of the garage door...

I imagine that the frame would be eligible for warranty replacement if you are the original owner and 'normal' fixes don't resolve the bottom bracket issue. Cervelo supposedly has a "lifetime"...

I wouldn't worry much about the thorns. I had THIS in my bike tire for at least 2-3 weeks before I realized it was embedded. I remember the ride where I lost about 15-20 PSI on the way home. ...

Considering only these two bikes: The new Emonda has reasonable aero credentials these days, even if not as much as the Madone. So I suspect that the difference between both bikes on the flats and...

I'm glad you came to a satisfying conclusion to your decision-making process. 13.5cm of drop is definitely an aggressive position (in my book anyway) for non-racers.

I think the folks who kept...

You said you had a professional fit for your CAAD10 and it's comfortable, which is great. Assuming you want to keep that fit, let's do the math:
- You need the CAAD10's headtube height + 50mm...

I would just add one important caveat: Frame stack measurements usually *exclude the height of the headset cap*. For instance, my 2012 CAAD10 came with a 25mm headset cap *plus* spacers. I'm guessing...

As long as the "medium-priced" frameset is well designed, the answer is very small gains for a lot of extra money. In your case, you are extremely high on the frame-goodness-per-dollar scale, which...

I think you have it exactly right. The main differences between your CAAD10 and an shiny new "endurance" bike are
1) Taller headtube (so fewer spacers under the stem for your current fit)
2)...

Yeah, tire manufacturer's have been making their tires smaller for the same labeled size as past years. GP4000 tires in size 28mm are typically 30-31mm on modern alloy road wheels and about 32mm on...

Some better data is needed for some of these arguments.
