Upgrading an “Old” Epic EVO to Race Leadville | Road to Leadville | TPC
Спорт
Bruce needs a mountain bike to race Leadville so he bought a Certified Pre-Owned full-suspension bike: a 2021 Specialized Epic EVO. To get this downcountry rig ready for Leadville’s brutal high-altitude climbs, he added a carbon handlebar, stem, and wheels from FSA, plus some fast 2.4” XC tires and lightweight inserts from Vittoria.

Great video - looking forward to seeing more and hearing how the Evo and that set up perform for you. Just checked out the tires - they certainly look fast!
Looks fast! As for inserts, I use XC CushCore and install them like a tube,never had any issues. Those Victoria are definitely lightweight and it’s nice they stopped the zip tie version they had. I would like to use them on my gravel bikes. As for waxing chains, the only way I use chains now on all my bikes. I’m not racing Leadville but ride mixed condition Century rides every month on my gravel bikes and Silca wax has always worked well. I wipe down and top off with the Silca drip wax and deep clean and re-dip wax about every 3-4 months.
That's actually a nice bike
This is great! Thanks for sharing your prep.
Good luck in the race!
Sweet set up, see you at leadville soon 🤙
Nice set up! Might have to do inserts for my first lv100 this year. Loving the vids!!
How much were you guys selling it for?
On your smokestack... preload with the additional spacer. Torque stem. Remove additional spacer. Replace cap .
if you are having trouble climbing try an oval chain ring,\
