2013 Ridley X-Fire Disc Technical Questions Answered!
Lots of questions and general excitement for disc brakes this coming season! The Boulder Cycle Sport Ambassadors are completely amped to get our X-Fire discs built up, dialed in and raced. I had a few great questions from a friend, Josh, about the 2013 X-Fire disc, and I sourced some answers from Todd Schmidt of Ridley USA....
What is the weight of the frame/fork of the X-Fire disc?
Todd: The Frame is 1275g and the fork is 460g. The fork has been re-enforced for the demands of disc brakes.
Can you put 160mm rotors on the rear or does it only fit 140mm?
Todd: We have the rear designed around a 140mm rotor but it may be able to be modified to accomodate a bigger rotor.
I ride a 56 road bike, am about 5'11", I currently ride a Scott Addict CX (56) with a 110mm stem, what size Ridley should I ride? 54?
Todd: Possibly the 52 or the 54. Please consider the top tube length and the head tube height as well the standover height and your specifics when finding the right size for you.
I see Ridley are running Hayes CX5 brakes, are those as adjustable as the Avid BB7s? I don't see much in terms of reviews for the Hayes brakes.
Todd: The Hayes brakes are very adjustable, yes. More adjustable. We have found the CX-5 to be a versitile brake both in terms of adjustability and performance and thus have spec'd it on all our disc brake built bikes.
Here Todd talks about the X-Fire disc lineup at Dealer Camp...
