So the Moots has (almost literally) risen from the ashes of brothers cottage where it spend a very long time.
Currently I’m riding it to dial things in, feels good..
Eventually will need a full tear down and rebuild but everything works as it should right now.
I’ve also come to the decision that parts will be swapped out not to necessarily be of the highest spec but to be solid, work well and have decent longevity.
The R8000 shifters, for example, are fantastic and take a beating. They shift beautifully and the cable brakes are spot on. Hence they’re keepers.
So with that in mind here’s a slow burning shopping list. The first two are to finalise all contact points..
Cranks (probably Praxis Zayante 165mm)
Stem (0deg 90mm so possibly Easton EA90)
GRX 2x11 rear derailleur
New cables namely compressionless brake ones
Updated brake pads once these go…
In the long run some nice rims and hubs..
