Nice, that.
I am definitely looking for a rim braker atm

This has been my main audax bike for the last few years, Genesis Equilibrium Ti. Just replaced by new machine. Has disc front fork currently, but can easily swap the original rim one back in. Shown setup with GP5000 32mm and mudguards. Happy to discuss any parts too if relevant.

That genesis is lush.

I've always thought of doing a front disc conversion to my partners Kinesis ti. What were your reasons for this? How has it been?

Reason - coming down another steep descent in Wales in the pouring rain on Bryan Chapman made me want more foul weather braking. Conversion was pretty easy, Kinesis fork had a disc version with same geo. Swapped front shifter to hydro, which felt/looked odd so I went back to cables with TRP caliper. With a short front brake cable the feel is good, with strong progressive action, it just need a bit more hand pressure for same amount of braking. Good overall result worth trying if you do lots of bad weather rides, not much difference in regular riding, and the feel of the bike unchanged as the fork is essentially the same -still think it look a bit off somehow though

After running mountain bikes with a disc up front and a v brake on the rear for years back in the day I’ve always wonder about it for an allroad setup, nice to see someone doing it

Also nice. I already have a steel one so not for me, but thank you What are the mudguards btw?

They PDW mid width
