  • very nice.
    I've just started saving the canti by buying a focus mares, planning to build it in similar fashion ! also on the lookout for a cx brakeset
    surely 9000 derailleurs would be a nice and not too spendy tweak to the six13

  • What you thinking on brakes? I've gone TRP CX9's. I used to have cheap tektro mini v's and they were plenty strong enough. Can't be bothered with canti's.

    Hmm, the six13 had full ultegra and I wanted a bigger chainring and ended up getting these on ebay. Not sure I'm bothered enough to change the derailleurs.

    I've still got the ultegra cranks tho - I could in theory go full ultegra on the CAADX. But i'd need new levers, and the current tiagra setup has it's benefits.

  • i'm not thinking much about the brakeset as i don't have much experience with one type or the other, apart from some random deore ones on a 26" mtb conversion. i had some shorty ultimates which i sold dumbly, those trp cx9 look very nice and are not toooo spendy.
    what iss the ratio on those ultegras ? i'd like to go compact or semi-compact as the bike is destined to real mountains, hopefully.
    if you want, i need to have a look at the spares box, but i have 6800 levers i believe as well as 9000 derailleurs. provising i mange to switch the caad5 above to sram
