if me I will buy a Brompton or Birdy r20 very popular and keep resale value better. Or buy reconditioned at Birdy store or a good condition used from Carousell

For me i dont really intend to resell later, just use (hard) and then later dispose. Scratches, crashes sure have. If get expensive bike sure lose value like crazy.........wont work for me.

I just crashed on hello ride yesterday too, at mbs area swerve to the left to avoid ppl although I rang the bell. Luckily only bang my leg on the bike. Some shin swelling, knee swelling a bit and a cut toenail as the pedal ripped through my toe area but otherwise ok.

And still go for a run the next day.. LOL. Always got to give a try to see how far the injured leg can tahan.

haha I cancelled the sl8 pro cos is shimano ultegra di2 groupset. Would prefer sram force instead so hope they can find a sl8 pro sram force in my size or will go for sl8 expert sram rival at slightly cheaper price .
worse case will be Sworks sram red but not sure if I want to spend so much on a bike.

Nothing wrong with ultegra di2. Weren't u informed before placing order?

I'm using SRAM Red 1st model. Used for so many years but hasn't malfunctioned. As for SRAM Rival, my friends have been complaining it being too heavy, and thus regretted the purchase. If you are already spending so much on a bike especially an SL8, you probably want to avoid disappointment with a less than desired groupset. You put Rival, people assume your expensive bike frame is a fake.

I went for physio and put ice pack and heat pack to reduce swelling. Think the pain isn't that bad. Going holiday soon so better to get the runs in before the 2 week break haha

sram batteries can interchange front and rear derailleur but not ultegra.

SRAM completely wireless.

SRAM can take out small battery to charge but ultegra must charge bike at power socket

SRAM small and cute battery but ultegra so big battery

sl8 pro gloss silver and matte blue are ultegra di2.
They finding a sl8 pro sram force which is gloss or matte black colour for my size.

sl8 expert gloss grey and gloss black is sram rival.

I saw a Sworks matte white sram red etap axs but I really not sure if I should go all the way out cos this my first road bike and I lazy to clean bike.

all these bikes (groupset and colour) are as they are and I not yet considered building a bike.

if build a bike I only can consider gloss white frameset for my size.

Will prefer gloss just spray water and wipe down compared to matte.

But I already deposit for new bike and I not in hurry to get it. I just don’t want buyers remorse.

Di2 battery lasts much longer per charge compared to sram. But the main deciding factor is which shifting style the rider prefers.

Sleeper.
28 reps. Probably still has 2-3 more in the tank, easy

his build and expressionless remind of a PS in my old unit, but that one I think got not much diff between his reps and IQ

Very happy. They swop my groupset from ultegra to sram force for my sl8 pro.

Not until u accidentally drained the battery. Some people forgot to unplug when they bring for overseas ride. Arrived liao then realised battery flat. Anyway, each system got their pros n cons. I think my next groupset might be l-twoo to save cost, fully wireless n can use usb c to charge directly.

Around 6 now. I train via lats pulldown from resistance bands with a contraption that i can fix at the doorway of my bomb shelter door (my bedroom doors i scared pecah coz of the forces) and then when pass by fitness corner then try pull ups and then some negative pull ups (eccentric). But i am just training to keep muscles balanced coz i train a lot of "push" for anterior chain via pull ups.

Training upper body for maintain aero tuck for longer duration. And also to look better when in cycling jersey.
