I took it by the dealer today to check the bearings. Tech said that he re-seated them and that it made a difference. I just go home and tried it again against my son's Pro 5's and his still spun a...

I wouldn't say they are hard to move, but I can tell there is a little more drag to them when I spin them. I checked with the Trek dealer where I purchased them and they had no clue.

I purchased a SL6 pro and have already upgraded my wheels and to the Di2 shifters. With that said, if I were you, I would do the disk, then upgrade the wheels later if you want.

Here's the thing. If I were going to get another bike, I'd get the SLR 7 with everything I want except the nicer wheels. Based on prices I have been quoted for the bike less my trade, I'd be...

Am I crazy?

I have a one year old Trek SL 6 Pro but really like the electronic shifting (Di2). My local shop gave me a price of $1400 to do the upgrade. I also want to upgrade from the Aeolus Pro 3 wheels to the...

Cool, I did it in 2006 in 10:42. We spent to much time off the bike at the rest stops so I have a goal to do it in under 10 hours this year. How fast do you normally run?
