i have a pair of BNIB chris king ss hubs, you interested? would sell the pair for £550

is this likely to take a dropper post?

Haha oh you

the geometry drawing looked like it might

Lots of geometry tweaks to make, but yes, it will have routing for a dropper

hubs?

I am sure @BareNecessities only wanted a second talbot so he could scoble his own thread title

142 x 12mm rear/110mm x 15 Boost front

I would go Boost rear, but it was pointed out that I already have issues with heel clearance, so no need to make it worse

63 deg head angle?

That, with 80 deg seat angle and 100mm BB drop

30t chainring x 95.4t sprocket? wtf

Edit: not sure

30t chainring & 30t sprocket = 15.9 - 95.4 gi

?

rep

ah fair enough
I'd go lower maybe, I use 30-42 the whole time on mine. and wish for a bit lower not infrequently.

You currently have about 21.4 gi then

The lowest gear ( 15.9 ) would be like you having a 30-56 :-)

*assuming 29x2.3" tyres

ah of course I'm an idiot, thought 30 sprocket meant that was your lowest.
I approve very much of your ratios, sir

I approve very much of your ratios

Maybe low enough to climb Cadair Idris...

Maybe low enough to climb Cadair Idris...

What about the real climbs though? Could it do Gas Hill...?
