It won’t be compatible with Magura.

Sram uses dot fluid and Magura use a mineral oil. You’ll fuck the seals on both if you don’t use the correct fluid.

Bang for buck;
Option 3 for me.
I ran some nice wheels on my SWorks tricross with 10 speed da mechs and 105 flightdeck shifters and it was fab, it didn’t stop, but it rode great. If I’d changed to bar ends and the right levers it would have been aces.

Cantilever brakes

Find the drop bar maguras?
I had them on my gravel bike in ca '97.

Yes, those but not purple.
The lugged cx frame did quite some flexing.
Nice stuff. Will see if I can find some and do a retro feel like 17 again build.

Harvey Nics now sell Gravel Specific Peanut Butter!

i see it's got "gravel specific" pricing too

Christ. It's a good thing that I (a) don't like peanut butter and (b) don't shop at Harvey Nicks.

Campagnolo 12s with magura rim brakes would be amazing.

But probably 105 and the avids would be the most sensible.

The most sensible option is never cantis.

Hell yeah, as long as the master cylinders are broadly the same size, that would be ace

Amazed at the lack of hilarious gravel related April fool jokes so far today

do you have YAL on ignore?

I'm waiting for a frame to come up so I can make one of these.

Beach racers are the only acceptable modern drop bar mtb build.

snoops:

acceptable drop bar mtb

me:
the user's mind is clearly degraded. the user is dying

I hate that I don't hate this as much as I should

Beach racers

Bikes that actually ride well on the surface they are named after? We'll have none of that in this thread please

Nice to see big robs bikes still getting ridden. Hope you rode it insanely fast

Not as fast as he would have but I try and do it some justice
