Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

Chris King threaded BB30 (forgotten the name of this)

T47

Bingo.

Does the BB30A axle work with T47 then, or was extra work required to get it to play nice?

whats the seatpost? whats the crankset? front mech? is it band on? also why extra reinforcement other than Carradice bagaman support?

did you have shimano calipers? if so how would you compare them to shimano?

@amey Seatpost is Kalloy, also sold as Gran compe and some other brands I think.
Crankset is the same Sugino xd2 I've had on a couple of bikes before this. Because I like square tapers.
Front mech is the new version of Shimano 105, 5801. It doesn't have that long arm the older model had, that would rub the tyre. Band on.
The strut on the bagman makes it stiffer, it doesn't sway even with a geavier load, and makes sure the bag can't touch the tyre, as there's only a few centimeters between. Also, rear light is attached to the end of that strut, under the bag.
I haven't had Shimano calibers, only bought the levers. I've heard many have had problems with leaking seals on Shimano calibers, so why not try something else, Hope should be good... And then one of the calibers I got had a leaking seal on one of the pistons. Leaking a lot. I got a warranty replacement and now they are really good, but I can't really compare.

Also, rear light is attached to the end of that strut, under the bag.

Absolutely brilliant bike btw, sorry for a question dump, just curious :)

Could you please post the image of the strut/light set up

Very straightforward- fitted it exactly as it was in the CAAD12, once the B.B. was in, same major spacers although not so many shim-spacers.

Could be made prettier and lighter. Carradice actually had another model of bagman that had those struts. It was made of alu. I had one of those, it broke but I kept those parts.

And yes there is spare spokes taped to the seatstay.

lovely!

Cheers dude!

New Rodeo Lab Flaanimal 4 looks great and super versatile.

Considering the price of the new 2018 genesis equilibrium disc for comparison (similar spec frameset). It isn't a bad deal.

I especially like the versitility of the fork.

I quite like it.

that horrible, horrible commercial..

i really like that fork too.

That's well nice.

Madness. It’s brown, orange and baby blue with a stupid headtube and the ugliest fork I’ve ever seen

Do you even Lauf fork?

Second ugliest fork I’ve ever seen*

The Spork is really smart, surely it can be forgiven.

New bike day. SUB/Gravel at last.

Very nice, I came close to getting this before settling on get a Chinese carbon gravel frameset

Functionally I’m sure but it’s not pretty. Don’t like the flat sides mostly
