Steel 650B All-Road Project

And 11 speed "road/cx" 1X derailleurs (Apex 1, Rival 1 and Force 1) have the same pull as the normal road 11 speed derailleurs (Rival 22, Force 22 and Red 22)?

Yes on that. As long as It's Exact Auctuation your fine.

Not sure on the 10spd road to 11spd mtb though.

Weird that have almost the same build going. Bought the same stuff from Alpkit during their sale a few months back. 👌🏻

PX have quite a few wheel options

This ticks all boxes from the last page.

I bought the i-23 to el guapo wheelset. You need the qr adapters for the front that are sold separately

Thanks for the tip. Ordered their last pair of wheels built on Wtb i23's for £129..

How is this coming along?

Have had the headset fitted. Also got an adapter (FSA PF30 - BSA) that wouldn't fit so had to go with the plastic sram adapter for now. Should be receiving some of the last parts today or tomorrow. Still undecided re brakes. Been looking at some hydraulic-mechanical brakes from asia but don't feel like waiting 5 weeks for them to arrive. Anyone got a set of spyres for sale? Also looking for a thomson x4 or similar sturdy stem in 90-100mm and 7-10°.

Why not just get the juin tech/yokozuna/whatever brand they're sold as, through Edgesports.co.uk?

Cause i'm a cheap bastard on a budget

@psee I have a set of spyres I'm not using atm. PM me.

I've a mate interested if @psee isn't

I am said mate, hello

Back to the drawing board?

Put it together today. Still need some better cables and proper guides for the chainstays, different saddle and pedals. Other than that i would consider it to be finished for now. It's got some weight to it that's for sure but it doesn't feel like a tank. Rolled surprisingly quick with little effort.

Looks amazing, what are you doing for luggage?

Cheers. Pizza rack, drybag and small panniers for touring duties. If i'm doing the Torino - Nice rally i'll be using normal bikepacking bags.

outstanding result. super clean and well proportioned

Looks mint!

Looks awesome! I'm stoked now.

Much fun

C15 carved fitted. Mighty uncomfortable though. Probably because i was sitting on the rivets. Reckon i need to slide the saddle back a cm or two, which might require a new seatpost.
Does it get softer after some use?

which bottle cages are those?

Looks like Arundel

The saddle doesn't change, the point of the cambium saddle is that they don't require breaking-in :) Sitting more towards the centre of the saddle might help as it's where it will be most "springy".

Nice bike by the way!

Cheers. Wondered if it might be those chinese ti ones....have been considering those.
