Starting a swear jar to save up for one of these: http://www.santacruzbicycles.com/en/us/stigmata

Gad daym.

Me gusta

Although only mental people race on full crabonz

It's even got the aero fork cable routing... It's a dreamboat.

Looks a lot like my tcx advanced. Just more ££££

Nice but pricey. Can't see too many of those making it over here.

That said, Soho Cycles are SC dealers, so if any of them are in to CX...

Darling...about the new kitchen we were going to get....ummmm...

FUCK.......

I'm so glad I'm a Beta. Alphas have to spend so much more money on bikes.

I'm doing a CX sportive in March 21st down in Exeter.

Not doing it. No secure parking at new job, need to keep a beater so no space for it. Boo.

I've done a couple - they are much lols

Sell the TCX 2

...and a kidney

I have considered it. But it would require changing wheels to thru axle and that would add to the costs. I'll do another season on the TCX then see where I'm at.

Good plan. But......the Cannondale SuperX is £500 cheaper with CX1.

I was going to get one, but failed at C2W process and have too many other costs with pesky house move.

sam!!

For 1 x 10, what's a decent cassette x chainring combination?
e.g.
42 x 11-25

ta.

42x13-28

You've only gone and opened that can of worms.

It depends on a number of factors, including your preferred cadence, whether it's for training or racing, riding conditions and so on.

Having gone for a 42 on mine, I'm now wishing I'd got a 38 instead.

Just don't buy a red anodised one as that is for tarts.

11-32 with 39t bro

Hmm.
Ok. I will look at what I've got and try to see where that would put me.
