Since the new frame still hasnt been built up yet, it was the perfect time to apply a ceramic coating.

I've been using @pellibikecare for several years now and always impressed with the results. This is their graphene ceramic and super easy to apply. Prepare the surface with the supplied cleaner and wipe dry. Apply the coating, let cure and wipe dry. Keep it dry for 24 hours and you're done. It works great on glossy surfaces AND matte finishes. It wont make a matte look glossy. It does make it look "moisturized" and new.

I am SO excited for this build! While I've built some respectable weight weenie bikes over the years, I'll be using more exotic parts than I've ever done before. Collaborations with @ti_parts and @sixweelcassettes @sixweel_usa will make this stealth bike stand out as truly one of a kind!

All new @tavelobikes Arden SL size large (500). Weighing in at 690g for the frame and 400g for uncut fork. Look at the last photo to see how cool that raw carbon look in the sun! Since the Arden has a heatube that is 10mm taller AND ill be using the Tavelo rise bar that has a 20mm rise, I can essentially slam this stem and have the same har height as my Tavelo Arow that currently has 35mm of spacers. I've already started piecing some parts together and I must say, this is going to be one sexy build!

Check out @skyasports if interested

Stay tuned! 🖤

NEW BIKE DAY! Meet the all-new Tavelo Arden SL. This size Large frame weighs just 690g—the exact same weight as an S-Works SL9 in the same size, but $3,600 less.

I'm going to be building this thing up over the next few weeks and have some super light parts on the way. Let's see how light we can build this one!

Check out more details from @skyasports or straight from @tavelobikes

I love my garage setup! The pouring rain outside didn't stop me from getting after it inside on @rouvyapp.

The new @attaquer All Day kit is my current go-to favorite. I absolutely love the redesign of the bibs and jersey. Race feel but all day comfort with a clean classy look.

I know I'll get 20 questions in the comments, but in case anyone takes the time to read this far, the rollers are from Insideride 😉

Figured it was time to rage bait the bartape police!

This is how I reverse wrap my bars. If you don't agree or like it, don't do it. Regardless if you use a traditional method (barend to top of bars), or reverse wrap, you should wrap inside to outside on the drops and from the front up and over toward the back of the bike. Your hands naturally push the tape outward on the drops and pull toward you on the top bar.

But here are my thoughts. It's 2026, and most bartape is pretty freaking sticky, and most tapes use an adhesive backing. We aren't using fresh cowhide from the Oregon trail anymore. If you wrap your tape with tight overlaps, it ain't going to move on you. Reverse wrapping has been around for YEARS. This is not a new thing. I've never had my tape loosen or unwrap on me by using this method. If you have, maybe you're the one doing something wrong.

Generally speaking, I reverse wrap aero bars and traditional wrap round bars.

Tape: @lizardskins 2.5 DSP ULTRA
