    If you were spending your own money on an upgraded set of rims for the sl5, would you go for these now for $1700 or would the Terra C set for $750 make more sense? Btw, did you upgrade the cassette on this bike from stock?

    • @thewisconsingravelcyclist
      @thewisconsingravelcyclist 2 місяці тому

      If I were buying for an SL5 now I would definitely go for the 37V. Reasons being 1. They are much lighter. 2 they have a 108 point of engagement hub. This is noticeable at higher speeds and loose terrain. 3. The 37V is far more comfortable and compliment than the Terra c. Especially on rough terrain. If budget is on the mind the Terra c is a nice deal at $750. They are also pretty robust. Thus the added weight. But overall I would recommend the 37V if you are able.

      I have a her 12 black. Unfortunately I must have an issue with mine as that feature doesn’t work on mine. Might need to update the firmware or something. Will have to work on that for future events. Wahoo also has a way to integrate their bolt and roam for controlling the go pro as well now! I haven’t had a chance to play with that yet.

      I would yes. Maybe if your a hard core racer and looking to save weight then the cl is ok but it’s honestly a better road wheel then gravel.

    • @thewisconsingravelcyclist
      @thewisconsingravelcyclist 6 місяців тому

      I ride a 52. I’m 5”8 to 5”9 depending on the measurement. 30 inch inseam. I’m in between a 52 and 54 and went 52 because of the stand over height and the reach. I normally say to size down one size on a checkpoint unless you have rode that size and determined it works for you.

      @@thewisconsingravelcyclist Thanks for the reply. It feels oddly comfortable because my old bike felt cramped. But I'm basically at the 30 day return policy and haven't been on a ride longer than 2 hours. Luckily the 2 hour long ride felt fine and no pain. I will say the larger frame feels a little less nimble and it's not as easy to throw the bike around. But it feels good on the roads and at high speeds. It's such a tough decision.

    Looks like we feel pretty similar about this bike! I got an SL5 a month ago and I am in love. The bike I had been riding was an older Giant Defy Advanced 2 carbon and while I loved the bike it was just always so twitchy for me... had to keep my guard up all the time.... never felt very comfortable riding hands free for example. The checkpoint is freaking amazing I just can't believe how smooth and comfortable it is and it just goes wherever you point it period. Like I said I am in love -- I feel like I am rediscovering the joy of cycling again. I'm less interested in dueling with cars these days and have dirt roads and rail trails and other trails nearby and I'm loving it. Cars suck. Unless one wants to race, or do real mountain biking, this is an outstanding do-it-all bike without major compromises... Even as a road bike I'd never want to ride a road frame again because the Checkpoint is just SO SOLID AND COMFORTABLE! I was excited to get a new bike, but it has blown away my expectations.
