  • Due to an elbow injury I set about building a bike for needed comfort and something to do whilst I was at home recovering.
    It's a bit of monstrosity, but I like it. My take on a klunker and always wanted to have a cadex.
    The fork is aftermarket 400mm a-c disc that I had lying around.
    Only things I want to change is probably getting the handlebar higher with some kind of extender and another saddle. Unfortunately the gobi I got for it was lost in the post.

  • Looks great! I was a bit cadex-curious myself recently. Mainly because I saw the dropouts and thought they might be replaceable. While I was after horizontal dropouts for singlespeedin' I found these CAD files. Thought I would share them here in case you want to run a disc in the rear too.

  • Thanks for the link!
    Yes I had read about that too.
    Unfortunately mine only has a removable drive side, not non-drive side.
    Disc rear would indeed be preferred but this'll do. I also have my eyes on some of those parallel pull-deore xts you have on yours. But it rides, upgrades can come.

  • Damn, looking at that link I now want a double disc fixed cadex. Like really.
    Maybe even do 650b conversion with road ish tyres.
    Ah well, let's get back to actually being able to ride a bike in anger.
