Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

The frame looks a bit too high an the bottom bracket and a little bit too slackened, like it's built for a 395/400mm A2C fork and the one you put up is longer

Oh, ok! It works great, not perfect though but so the job 🙂

I’m really enjoying this.

Where is this?

East Coast Park, Singapore.

Have you hit your knee on the fork whilst riding out of the saddle yet?

Not yet

Axle is fine as said already, but from the second picture it looks like it's the cable outer that rubbed rather than the ziptie. Maybe it needs to be more slack/have something inserted from inside the BB shell into the chainstay to keep it low?

nice.
still got the ventures ?

East Coast Park, Singapore.

Nice. Struggled to find any Gravel in Singapore or Penang last week. Eventually found a bit, monitor lizards were a hazard!

yep, they're going to go on the Bombtrack when I build that up.

First time trying them, really liked the shape once I'd corrected the set-up...the shifter position difference was ridiculous.

First with bars corrected and shifters in original position...aka full aero

...then with bars + one shifter adjusted and other in original position...

BDHD, innit

yeah I am not sure what you are telling us :)

I have RX4s

Yeah they rub a bit
Make sure the rotors are absolutely 100% true

It’s the trade off for having calipers that could stop a bull elephant

The droopy bars post-crash or something?

Baby's crying.

Please get something like this

The Venturemax look desperately odd here lol

I put them on my partners bike and they work quite well

I did an MTB ride a few years back near Chestnut Park/Point around the reservoirs which was fun, although I was doing it on a layover so I was fucked; local guy showed me around which helped. I think there's some gravel and MTB on Palau Ubin as well.

Please, Shimano, make some four-pot flat mounts!

Are they on here?

I reckon they asked everyone in the Kona office that day to design one part of the bike but they weren't allowed to see what anyone else had done.

Haha Underated comment.

As a person with 3 green Kona's in my tiny flat I find that bike v triggering, had to check it wasnt fake news

Bit late to this and you may already have covered this, but are you using Hope rotors too? The clearance is less than standard and Hope rotors are narrower to account for it.

Lots knows why, but 🤷‍♂️ reasons.

Also late are they IS to thingy mount? I had an adapter that wasn’t square meaning the caliper was at a slight angle to the disc.

Spending a bit of time balancing the pistons really helps. Use a flathead behind the pad with more clearance, holding back the pad with less clearance, and pull the lever slightly. You're aiming for both pads to strike simultaneously, and with equal visible clearance. When you get it just right, the rotor "pings" when pads hit. My RX4s don't rub at all.

Are you sure? Hope rotors are normally wider than Shimano/SRAM

No! I'm using Shimano (XT I think). This could be the solution!
