Many thanks guys! Pretty proud of how a mediocre low budget rim brake bike can turn our if you put some thought into it
@hugo7 I used Ultegra R8000s and to be honest I cannot sense a decrease in performance. Have to add I am 77kg and ride mostly flat tho. Adjustments of the calipers go without tools so thats a super cool feature (lots of fakes around tho, be careful)
@elswick @MrBaklava Rear is 28mm on a 17mm internal rim. Limiting factor is def. The chain stays. Brake bridge and fork would easily take more than 30s
Unfortunately I dont own modern rims to properly test it
Re how i achieved 6.6 check my projects thread for the parts list (or check @caadastrophe on insta as its in the caption of the post)
