Just joined the Yeti tribe.
My new to me '09 ASRc (with 2011 rear triangle). Sram X.0 red, RS Sid Team & Monarch 4.2, Truvativ Noir carbon crank, Fulcrum Red Metal 3 wheels, Hope headset, Raceface Next carbon bar.

I think I'm going to like this bike. Took it for its first ride yesterday and I still have a smile on my face.

I thought I would show this thread some 2012 love

I finally got around to putting this one together. Ready for the White-Rim-In-a-Day!

I have to weigh it but it's approaching 25 lbs.

A key feature for me is going to grip shift. Something is wrong with my right thumb and after a few hours, I can't seem to push triggers anymore..

Beautiful frame, is that the last of "Made in USA" frame. How do you like the carbon wheels?

I think that was the last batch of the Golden make frames.

So far the wheels are sweet; solid feel and no 'drum' sound on the rough! Gosh and did I mention they are light? ...and they look great!

I have those tires at 60 psi so I hope the wheels can take that long term.

This is my first venture into carbon wheels. I have been known to pinch flat and I would think it might be the kiss of death on these wheels.

I'm still thinking about purchasing a set of Enve wheels, thanks for your advice. What's all those front cables for?

What's all those front cables for?

What are front cables? Joking cuz I don't do wireless?

I have a front brake and a computer up front.

Second ride today. The shifters of course are settling in. The bike still rides fast and smooth. I really like feel of this bike paired with the Reba on drops.

ASR-C guys, asking for some help on setup here.

1. Headset would be external cup 34/28.6 34/30?
2. Is bike fine with Shimano XTR 2x10 40x28, or is there any interference. I know they ship them with 38x26, I'm wondering if works fine with the narrower Q-factor, bigger ringed model.
3. Front derailleur would be M-986 for Shimano? Website says 35mm, but Shimano shows comptible up to 34.9mm, effectively the same?
4. and it is a BB-92 Pressfit BB, right?

My reward for answers will be sweet build pics!
