• I get you. I just wanted slightly bigger gears and thought I could do it and standardise everything to GRX across bikes. Alas, no. I'll probably just stick the fucking Middleburns back on because an undergeared rideable bike is better than an unrideable bike.

    What I'd love is my "normal" external BB Shimano crank bullshit but if those fucks don't do 165mm, 73mm, 1x, NW, fucking 36T that somehow also magically clears the chainstays of a Surly Ogre then so be it - I'll buy an electric recumbent.

  • Just get the Shimano regular 68/73 crankset.

    142 and 135 is pretty much the same thing, you have the option for thru axle with the former but not the latter.
