Well its hard to be 100% without riding 2 bikes the same, with the same tyre and all that.

But to me it felt great on a carbon tues. seemed to roll a lot better. Took less effort to get upto speed and held speed better, Smoothed the bumps out a bit more so my arms got less fatigued. I felt I had energy left at the end of a run that I didn't on my bike.

This of course could the bike but I think the wheels had a lot to do with it.

Wasn't much difference it weight of my bike and the Tues

Only thing I found different was from a standing start on the flat I had to drop it down a gear more than usual as the larger wheel geared the ratio up a bit.

I didnt find pulling the front end up anymore difficult though I cant hold a manual for sh*t on any bike Madder

Anybody noticed the unique colour way on the Tues CF featured in the assembly instructions?! Man, why didn't they release this colour?


Yt Tues

Probably will be a next year model, take the capra example, the first images where from two bikes, the white/black/yellow and the black/grey/yellow capra from Turkey and it only is available since they lunch the 2015 models.

I imagine you're right.

which model have you gone for? Is it on time (delivery)
I've ordered the red al comp which should be with me on week 26 but I'm tempted to cancel it and go for the cf comp in green

It's been time that YT released their carbon Tues and Capra.

Yes it looks sick, but their quality control is the problem here.
Cracked HT, BB, and other cracked things.
I just wanted to know if the quality of their products are still the same as in previous years.

The Tues is relatively new, so you're unlikely to hear much about them yet, they over built it, so i reckon it's pretty solid.
Capra's seem to be getting better, though i'm still waiting for my new frame.

You are waiting for your new frame, while i'm here still waiting to hear a good news about their quality control.
I guess i must wait for more time to buy Tues CF.
