Bikefit thread >>>

Hoods level with saddle is rather kosher in CX.

It's not that. The frame seems big and why not flip that stem?

But it's all good.

Cause it look like a photograph of a bike that's only just finished getting build.

ftfy

so..
upgrading shitty drivetrain.
recommendations?
whats a good ratio for commuting but still being able to take it off road on the weekends

I am running 61" at the moment as off road is pretty wet and slow at the moment although 61" can get a bit annoying on the road but that's the double compromise of using one gear and using it on and off road.

Flip/flop wheel

Get floppin' or get good at changing cogs. Its a 2-4 min job if you decent at it and your chain is long/short enough for both cogs.

Gears

Force or Red cranks and just run single chainring - usually picke them up pretty cheap and gxp bbs are £15

I used to run 39 - 17 pretty spinny but fine for commuting

I ride 38/17 on the concrete, and 38/18 for proper off road stuff

I have 39x17 for tarmac/gravel and 39x20 for cross

Just to confirm that you can fit 41mm Surly Knards on a Spesh Singlecross. #fucktheUCI

Gunna try out the Sram CX1 cranks.
Recommend a GXP bottom bracket?

No, I recommend HT2 bottom brackets.

You are joking right? Shimano is 24mm whilst sram has a step down to 22mm on the nds

@dakin pm me, I've got some that I don't reckon I'll use now

@dakin i've found the cheap sram 'team' ones to last quite well
