Im hoping to get a new bike in the new year.

Grail CF SLX Di2 and Endurace CF SLX 7 Di2 are high on my list.

I do about 30/70 gravel/road and I’m by no means looking for the fastest bike out there. Something comfy but that I can also keep up with others on group rides.

I’ve always had 40mm tyres so would have to drop to 35mm for the endurace, but it’s also a slightly more aggressive bike position.

Tell me what one I should get and if you have it, why do you love it?

Do we think tyre clearance will increase on both for the 2027 range?

Thanks!

So I’m looking to get a Grail, I do a pretty even mix of gravel and road riding (and I do neither to a particularly high standard, I’m as average as it gets) so the grail seems like it ticks a lot of boxes.

Does anyone use a CF SLX 8 or the Grail CF SL 7 aero as a road bike as well as gravel?
Do you have any opinions on it? I can’t imagine I will notice any massive difference but I’m doing due diligence before spending £4k on a bike.

I could use my current carbon wheels with road tyres and just swap out wheels depending on what I’m doing.

Thanks in advance!

Hello, looking to join a cycle group. I’ve seen LBS and Giant do rides but wondering if there were any others?
Fairly competent but also not looking to be blowing out my arse or measuring every watt… LBS seems like a good fit, can anyone recommend them or others?
Thanks!

Hi, I’m going to the Manchester show on Wednesday. A friend of mine can’t make it and I can’t resell the ticket through ticketmaster for some reason but still allows me to transfer. (Or I can meet outside the show).

Happy to take £25, which is less than what paid.

Drop a comment if you know anyone who would be interested!
Thanks

I’m currently waiting on my flight to Paris to see our lord and saviour Jaques Blanc III, where is good to go for a drink before the gig? Is there somewhere people generally go?

Thanks!
