Low sprocket max is 34?
Also what pads and rotors with trp brakes pls.

Uberbike pads
Any rotor, aliexpress ebay
Just reduce the chainring size to fit in with 34t max or go 10 speed and buy that cassette i linked

Have just started using the race matrix ones from Uber, they're nice

I am going 10 speed!
With that cassette!

I rate TRP’s own rotors, the two piece ones especially.

Hylex take the Deore M515 compatible pads, so look at Uberbike or get TRP’s own.

I like the Shimano resin pads for stopping power and quietness, but they do wear out more quickly.

Low sprocket max is 34?

That with a triple chainset.

You’re not that old are you?

That they do, nice and cheap tho, and less wear on the rotor.

After all the researching , I can't quite believe I just got an Arkose. The thread title is truth.

I ran that very same Arkose with 10sp SLX rear mech and bar end shifter... still running it in fact on the new bike. Many audaxes later, and it's still my favourite setup...

Honestly best bike I’ve had. Tried replacing it with a few things wish I still had does everything above well.

Just not that “cool”

I think this is what made me bang my head on the desk a number of times. Still. FUNCTIONALITY!

What are my options when it comes to SS Gravel / CX Frames? Looking to build up a do it all SS, at least 40c tyres, flat bars. Steamroller?

Or cross check.

Bombtrack arise, Genesis day one too if you’re looking for discs.

All City Natureboy?

Good shouts all. Now to finding one...

Trek Checkpoint or Crockett have adjustable dropouts, and they should be a bit more fun to ride than a cheapo steel frame.

Any Cx/gravel with chain tensioner without spending Surly money.

If you want steel yes, transition rapture is awesome but 33/35 mm tyres.

Omnium CXC, or New Skool.

no bottle cage bosses

Good point. You can buy a lot of Zéfal cages mount with the money you've saved over a Surly though.

Cxc has cage mounts, new skool doesn't.
