That was a “do I really wanna waste a whole roll of new tape for this” kinda decision. The bike came dialed, but when the brake failed – so did my patience lol. When I unwrapped with bars, the Supercaz tape ripped and I had to cut it…

Damn I’m like the complete opposite of you. My personal Crux is a 56 and I run an 80mm stem, 42cm bars, and 35mm of spacers. But I have long legs and a short torso so that tracks.

I agree — It’s crazy when we see frames that are like $3K alone, and a $1,700 alloy frame seems like a steal.

Im 5’11” and I prefer a smaller frame for cyclocross and gravel. On my personal race bike I have a 120mm stem, 40cm bars with about 5mm of spacers. It fits like a glove and use it for basically everything.
