The only way it's worth 4.5k is if amey himself blessed it, or rode it...

You'd have to put the seat up a bit but nearly looks big enough for you

@amey may get excited by this

I am also maybe first time ever in the world a Spyre is mounted on a (blue) SID.

Looks like a Carbonda CFR707 but without all the mounts?

it's an 1816...

How far are we away from manufacturers rediscovering hub gears and drum brakes for the latest pro gravel menace?

hub gears

Classified already has a gravel wheelset and are planning on expanding the range.

Well, that’s actually quite nice

Are you home already?

Non-ironic noob question.

Currently running R7000 (50/34, 11/34) on the adventure bike, which is absolutely fine as 75% of riding seems to take place on metalled roads with pretty average climbs. What's the cheapest/easiest way to lower my inches (or however it's referred)? I'm not sure R7000 could handle an 11-36 cassette due to 39T total capacity. Same problem for a 48/31 GRX chainset. I'd rather not change too much, as it's just for a couple of weeks in the Alps where there are some lovely looking gravel roads, but scary gradients. I know my weak legs will be longing for an old MTB triple, especially when loaded up for overnights.

Probably overthinking, but would prefer not to get in the cable car/hike a bike too much, especially as my partner will have a lovely e-mtb and it would just hold her up.

Both are one tooth over capacity, which will be fine.

Max largest cog for an RD-R7000-GS officially is 34, but an 11-36 cassette will fit no problem.

GRX cranks officially require a GRX front derailleur, because of the 2.5mm wider chainline. But maybe you can get away with the limit screws. People have probably done it before.

Could get 46/33, TA do 4 bolt X 110bcd chainrings, think Spa cycles do em.

That would really be the economical way to do it, one chainlink to remove and roll-on
