Disc brakes are dead

R.I.P.

Pbuh
Etc
And
So
On

Maybe this whole big tyre / adventure bike craze is symptomatic of a failing infrastructure.

Yep. Or the kerbnerds' way to tour, avoid roads.

May he rest in peace :'(

Trek has really thought about cable routing

Front is externally on the fork with a zip tie.

Hmmm.

Definitely no need for fat tyres in France, as illustrated by one of my favourite climbs near where I grew up.

*pieces

thats a great thing! FUCK internal routing on the fork for cable disc brakes

in other news, just got some Middleburn RO2 46/30 cranks for DBAD.

Small run components from a defunct manufacturer, what could go wrong?

I think they are still going under BETD no?

BETD appear to have bought all the stock, whether they'll machine any new stuff... I dunno.

ah ok well its in the spirit of DBAD to buy something specialist and out of context

Which colour? R8070 groupset and HUNT 50mm wheels.

Get any colour you want,

as long as its black

I know its the 'default' and cant go wrong with it .. but at the same time its so boring .. not that the other option will break instagram. Tyres are also already sorted and are not gumwall (because tubeless)

Well you could put that red SMP and Fizik cock ring on the second one...

In all seriousness black is boring! Silvery red one ftw

HUNT 50mm wheels.

no

This

y not? they were cheapppppp(er than llightbicycle and same rim essentially)

Silver/red. Black is boring

Such a shame you can't get the red one as a frame, it's clearly the best paint job

FUCK internal routing on the fork for cable disc brakes

Bbbbbbbuuuuuuutttttt......

cable

Devil's in the details innit.
