great shimano components rear wheel started to crack around the eyelets after 3000 k trek replaced them under warranty and now am scared to use the wheel until i get to 85 kg i think that the stem is not as stiff as the aluminum one don't see any pros using the carbon stem. What with the cranks that design is so old school now i think they should re design the seat post system as it is just an inverted regular style stick with the cut off option like the ridley Noah.Hope they will go with the bb30 system its half way there anyway with the inserted bearings. I still prefer the handling of my prince sl (previous model)super stable down hill not even a hint of nervousness
stiffer than the 5.9
still a little nervous descending
