The use of the phrase 'popular user' is proof that Russia is pushing the narrative that we should all believe what user Amey says. He's a KGB plant and I claim my five pounds

it's even worse - vlad calls user amey a "popular poster", a dubious implication if you have ever read any of the user's posts itt

Oh sorry I missed that, I bow to youre higher stand of accademic scrutiy

I'd rather like it, if it didn't have SRAM.

Please repost this at every possible opportunity

So sweet

Isn't that your bike?

I will continue my work

I can still grow…

Any suggestions for gravel routes south of London? I generally head out via West Wickham kind of way. Have done a little loop around Jewels Hill a few times but looking to broaden my horizons.

This is a great one https://www.komoot.com/tour/62170717

yes, i polished it for 4 days...it wasn't fun :D I'm not a huge fun of alloy frames, but it was cheap and love the geometry.

This is quite good if you want to stay close to town https://www.strava.com/routes/2798867482000725626

pitchfont must be done full with an instagram post under M25 !

I like this frame but pinas really don't work under 55

Looks good, I'm much further east than that though!

That's ideal actually, thanks!

I guess this has been discussed at length but I'm confused about GRX/road groupset compatibility. I get that GRX is road pull, but how are the wide range MTB cassettes compatible with the GRX RDs, aren't they a different sprocket spacing?

Got a 11-40 xt with a rx 8000 rear and 8020 lever . All works fine

They're either the same or close enough spacing that MTB cassettes work with road shifters.
It's the freehub body length that's different between road and MTB but solved with a spacer

So have 11s MTB casettes always been compatible with 11s road shifters? I did not know that.

Yes. The HG800 Ultegra 11-34 cassette is really a MTB cassette, which is why it fits on 9/10 speed freehubs.
