Got a deal on a 2017 Trek Emonda Alr 5 for $1,250 (1,350 taxed) then spent retail for clipless pedals and road shoes, but had the fitting done included. Then spent the money I saved on a pair of Vueta Corsa Lites on Nashbar and a pair of Conti GPii's and an Elite Smart Trainer for Zwift.

I have a pair of 25s there. I also noticed that the wheelset that I bought is narrower than the stock Bontrager TLR's. I think there's clearance to go to 28s, but then again, I'm not sure.

Greetings all, hope everyone having a great Christmas.
Been following this thread very closely, very informative, I am hoping to join you soon, I am buying a used 2017 SL6 PRO soon, upgrading finally from a steel bike that served me well over 13 years. It will be a great Christmas present to myself
Great meeting everyone.

Can anyone compare the new 2018 rim brake SLR model to the previous years bike? The frame has lost some weight and supposedly picked up some stiffness but that is about all I know and I cant find any real riding impressions comparing the two. I also believe the frame is no longer USA built. Any input?

I liked my first Emonda SLR I decided to build another. 2018 frame set with Aeolus 5 wheels set and Dura-Ace 9000.
With pedals, cage and uncut steerer
Two things that should not go together

I recently joined the Emonda ALR club. I only have about 50 miles on it so far, but I'm loving it.

It would be safe to assume that Trek feels the manufacturing process and quality control there meets the same standards as those made in the USA.
I knew the 600 lever bikes were made there but still thought the 700 were made here.

Congrats to Emonda owners. Just a great bike. Built up a SL6 for a friend, I rode it a bit as well and it is superb.
A thought and general question.
Anybody know if the ALR has a threaded BB?...or is it wideshell BB90 in aluminum versus carbon bores as with the carbon version of BB90 which many know, Trek does not sleeve. Metal bearings slip fit directly to carbon shell with Emonda carbon versions.
Other thing I appreciate about the ALR is it takes a common seat post so one isn’t hemmed into the single bolt saddle clamp as with carbon versions.
As to frameset weight, most Emonda fans know how featherlight the new SLR frameset is…rim brake or disc versions…in the 650 ish gram ballpark for size 56 I believe aka freakishly light. Presuming the all carbon fork is another 350 grams or so…lets say an undressed SLR frameset weighs in at 1000 grams or so.
How about the ALR with carbon fork? Does the ALR use the same all carbon fork as the carbon versions?...or does the ALR have an aluminum steerer with their fork?
Anybody know the heads up weight difference between SLR and ALR? Is the frame alone without fork on the ALR in the 1000 gram range? More or less?
Thanks

The ALR 5, 6, and frameset have a full carbon fork that's around 340g. The ALR 4 has a aluminum steerer, no idea on weight there.
The ALR frame is claimed 1050g and this seems to be pretty accurate based on the few I've see put on scales.
The ALR uses pressfit BB86 bottom bracket.
I think the ALR compares pretty well to the SL for weight, but is quite a bit heavier than the SLR.
My size 52 ALR came in at 15.6 lbs ready to ride, without trying too hard to actually be light weight.
