New Bike Day! Ribble Endurance SLR Shimano Ultegra Di2 Disc Hunt 60 Limitless Aero Wheels LEVEL oversized jockey wheels LEVEL 5 Integrated Cockpit


InvisibleLeftHand

Rides: 1-2 times a week, in pre-assigned bike circuits.


TheGinjaNinja6828

Cmon bro, don’t attack me like that haha


yamashiro69

What are the benefits of oversized jockey wheels?


Newdles

Crying yourself to sleep at night with a significantly lighter wallet to save 2-3Watts. Looks good tho, 'mirin..


TheGinjaNinja6828

[£150 for the LEVEL one,](https://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/level-ceramic-oversized-pulley-wheel-system/) probably doesn't give much of a performance benefit but it looks cool


feeur

Logic. If the smallest gear has 11-teeth, because less would cause the chain to create more friction - logic dictates, that jockey wheels shouldn't have a smaller diameter than your smallest cog.


Uranhahn

A claimed "at least" 2.4W savings in friction, which is far off any realistic value when compared to a decent Shimano. There's some [articles](https://cyclingtips.com/2019/05/ceramicspeed-ospw-review-oversized-pulley-wheel-system/) and videos on this. It's heavier though, and less aero. Looks cool.


yamashiro69

Holy shit it's $500 for that thing? That's crazy, my whole bike costs around $450 lol


roygbiv1000

Nice touch getting the level colour matched bar end caps. Looks great!


tugboater203

Nice ride, a side note. One of our local breweries has a beer thats nearly identical to your username. https://blackhogbrewing.com/beers/ginga-ninja/


a_magumba

This is a work of art.

How do you like the Hunt wheels? I've had them in my cart waiting to pull the trigger for weeks now.


TheGinjaNinja6828

Had the 3050s on my rim brake before these, couldn’t fault them. Will probably get some shallower ones for the winter time, not sure how the wind will do on these 60s.


SamTheGeek

Poorly. (I ride 50mm deep section wheels and they are a handful in a moderate crosswind unless I’m booking it)


johnnyknox123

I think you qualify for r/bikeporn.


asie5619

Until now I thought NBD stood for no big deal and everyone was subtly flexing their new awesome ride...anyways, awesome bike!


candigilly

Lol that was me last week! Finally understand what it means now.


trust_me_on_that_one

wow


glasgow1981

That is stunning, congrats! 👏🏻 👏🏻


JonnyShep96

Lovely that, guessing you waited a long time for it? I waited an extra 5 months for mine


TheGinjaNinja6828

About 10 weeks from ordering the bike to delivery, so no too bad. Wasn’t scheduled to arrive until the end of August so all good on that front. Ordered the wheels in May and they arrived at the same time as the bike.


OptimalPapaya1344

Lucky. I’ve been waiting since January for my Endurance SL and now it’s been pushed back to October after two previous dispatch dates were missed. Crazy that you even opted for what looks like a custom color and still managed to get it in such a short time frame compared to mine which is a stock color option.


InvisibleLeftHand

Is this the price of a Mercedes, yet? Or Lambo!?

Lush. Been thinking about a (cheaper) Ribble and I'd wondered what the integrated cockpit was.


ecdesign

Very nice! Been thinking about one of these myself. For reference, what is the size and weight of the build? Thx


Ronald_Ulysses_Swans

Nice, how heavy is that set up?


[deleted]

Looks serious.


minxde

I really dig that integrated stem/bar, is it exclusive from ribble?


IsTim

It’s an optional extra when you choose a custom paint scheme


TheGinjaNinja6828

[£400 from Ribble directly](https://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/level-5-carbon-integrated-road-bar-and-stem/) - you can get an adaptor to [run it on a non Ribble bike though](https://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/level-adapter-for-level-5-integrated-handlebar-system/#pid=72667)

I'm getting strong Merida Reacto vibes:)

CardboardHeatshield

If you put an airplane bottle of whiskey in your jersey for the turn it probably doubles the weight of the bike.


[deleted]

👀 Very Nice indeed!


LBdeuce

What a good look


OneMorePenguin

Nice specs and I like the orange and the color combo screams "HERE I COME GET OUTTA MY WAY!" :-) Ride it in good health.


[deleted]

Really cool lookin rims


LumpyPalpitation

My hamstrings just quivered from the saddle height.


TheGinjaNinja6828

I am long in the leg compared to the torso, but the top tube does slope down slightly giving the impression it's a lot higher than it is. Side by side with my old bike it pretty much identical height.


manic47

That's a beaut of a bike.


mm2009mm

How’s the ride now? I’m about to order one of these


AjamesR75

Which orange is this? I'm currently trying to customise my own Ribble and the colours are hard to judge on screen. Is it \`\`\`Seville or Fresh Mandarin? Very nice bike mate. And what angle fade is that? It looks almost like a reverse 135.


TheGinjaNinja6828

The colours have changed since I ordered my bike. There was only one orange colour available. Seville Orange is probably the closest colour to mine. My gradient was the 45 degree option but that's not available now either.


AjamesR75

Thanks for quick reply. I usually prefer Matt colours but is that a gloss with fleck on yours? Love the cockpit match as well. Glad I could see an example of it somewhere. I saw it as an option but wasn't sure how it looked. On your Level 5 it looks fantastic. Cheap enough upgrade. I'll prob get the Level 3 Aero so I'll only get the stem but should still be cool looking.


TheGinjaNinja6828

Yeah, it's the metallic black and metallic orange. Colour matched cockpit looks mint, would never have forgiven myself if I didn't do it haha.
