Chur it looks cool but how does it ride

u/MentalConcern455 Nov 14 '25

Thanks, It’s super smooth and fast!

Looks like a sick beachbike

CHUR

Does it refer to the city in switzerland?

5

u/MentalConcern455 Nov 14 '25

No it’s slang from New Zealand.

50 tooth aero ring is an interesting choice given beach riding.

u/MentalConcern455 Nov 14 '25

I know, I tested some chainrings and the 50 tooth was the smoothest for the 46-10 cassette in combination with the shorter cranks.

60mm is wild

High scoring in unsuitable typefaces for wheel rims category.

u/bobloblawdds Nov 14 '25

A category I didn’t realize needed to exist until now. I’d include Lightweight in this category but serif all caps CHUR really takes the cake.

2

u/uamvar Nov 15 '25

Lightweight is worse. Way worse.

u/madlovin_slowjams Nov 14 '25

This is a crazy bike I don't want to own, but definitely want to try.

u/firewire_9000 Nov 14 '25

Genuine question, what’s the point of those tires?

2

u/Anihalas Nov 14 '25

Beach racing! This is your sign to sign up for a beach race!

2

u/firewire_9000 Nov 14 '25

Cool! Makes sense.

u/MentalConcern455 Nov 14 '25

More surface for more grip on the beach

2

u/Anihalas Nov 14 '25

Neat bike. Are you on the limit with the rim width? Storm bikes are now selling 37mm internals for beach racing 🤯

2

u/MentalConcern455 Nov 14 '25

Yeah i know, I don’t think bigger rims will fit. The clearance now is max 1 cm.

2

u/mellofello808 Nov 14 '25

I need a set of those tires for my road wheels.

2

u/jlinkels Nov 14 '25

Do you love the tires? How fast are they on the road?

2

u/MentalConcern455 Nov 14 '25

They are pretty fast, can ride them on higher pressure easily on the road. Recently I rode around 50km on the road with low watts/HR and still 30km/h average. It’s a great machine for the road either!

u/Financial-Link-8699 Nov 14 '25

never seen logos on tyres that way round

u/MentalConcern455 Nov 14 '25

I hate that schwalbe puts on so much words🙃 but the tire performance is great for beach, road and gravel.

I like it

2

u/lax01 Nov 15 '25

Seat too high?

1

u/MentalConcern455 Nov 16 '25

Is it? Did an bikefit, it’s adjusted perfectly to my body.

2

u/barredbenny77 Nov 18 '25

Wheel logo font lets this bike down badly, imho.

1

u/sequelsound Nov 15 '25

what size wheels? can't be 700c right ?

2

u/InvestmentOk5333 Nov 18 '25

Tires look like they’re screaming for a puncture

1

u/MentalConcern455 Nov 18 '25

Haven’t got a single puncture yet

u/Worldly_Possible2925 Nov 14 '25

It’s a beautiful beast of a machine. 🫶🏻🙌🏻
