I carry the AWS-10, park tool has plenty of multi tools and hex tools.

Keo Sprint do well for training and Keo Ti Carbon are nice for racing.

The Keo Carbon Ti come race ready, they all ready have gone threw a test of load bearing rotations. The rotation is silky smooth.

One of my older Look pedals weight more then two of the Look Keo Carbon pedals. Very noticeable on the pedal stroke and well worth the extra $$.

For commuting I use greyhound track pedals with plastic clip ones from mec. They have a sealed bearing which does well for one winter. Salt and sand mixed together to a great job at braking down grease while wearing out any metal part.

I have run threw more cassettes that I can remember, ultegra has done well for training and so long as regular chain replacement is done they last 3 to 4 chains.

Lower end cassettes wear quicker and I tend only get 3 chains out of them.

I don’t ride much with dura ace cassettes, I doubt that the cassette would last longer then ultegra. If it did then it would need to wear 2x slower then ultegra to make it financially justifiable for training.

For racing, the extra weight loss is easily justified considering how difficult (costly) it is to reduce weight on wheels. Rotational weight is key during races with lots of spin ups.

Considering that I am heavy on brakes, I should try out more brake systems. Ultegra does well in all conditions, wet, dry, dusty, out right mountain bike muddy and cold, salty with mud mixed in.

Tiagra fairs close to Ultegra in conditions expect they are more softer. They work fine on my commuter.

Over all the Giant Tcr compact frames are a fairly inexpensive platform to build your bike on. Personally have found them not to be the stiffest frame but that has not changed my results in any significant way. Aero dynamics is where improvement could likely be made.

Ultegra, Dura Ace shifters fair well for training and racing. What tends to do them in is dust which gets into the shifters and or spring breaks in side. The Dura Ace are some what lighter but at this moment have not noticed any difference in Durability.

I been threw quite a few Michelin carbon tires, they last around 5000 to 6000 km. Very resistant to glass, rocks, pot holes and so on. Even done a couple of weekend crits in Brooklyn, New York with them.

For lighter riders, close to 100 lbs, they seam to last forever.

Michelin KRYLION CARBON

I carry a mini pump to get me out of a pinch, often I am 50 km from the nearest bike shop. The Topeak Mini pump, more so has got me out of bad spots a number of times. Topeak Mini

Overall Topeak products have been kind to me.

I have gone threw around 20 to 25 chains in thew last few years and my preference has been Dura Ace chains with a fixed pin. My opinion is they take the longest to wear out (1.5 to 2x longer), quitest and all most never break. Good for training and racing.

Based on my experience with wearing out a couple Ultegra Hubs I have found them to roll smooth when new expect they wear out fairly quickly. When I say quickly, I mean noticeable difference with in 5,000 km. At 15,000 km I figure there is a 5 to 10 % energy loss. My feeling is my wet weather riding style does not vibe well with the hubs. Their weak point is the hub casing. Grease, bearings and holders can all be replaced but the casing still wears out.

Additionally, the cost of a replacement free wheel is close to the cost of the hub. Overall good if you are using them for less then 5,000 km / year and keep up on the maintenance. The would last two to three years.
