ha. yea that'd be a hack. hella battery life too. would mean the auto-trim wouldn't work though.

yea the only interest is in a wide range 2x

it'd be an xtr 38-28 so yes

i've run across an xtr di2 groupset for super cheap and was thinking about putting it on my currently stripped to the frame traildonkey, which has a normal road braze-on fd. i am aware that the shimano mtb fd don't have an off the shelf way to mount to a road fd mount, but is anyone aware of a solution?

looks like your chain is fucked. see the link folded over? maybe that is why it is dropping. but yea as per your video looks like cage tension is not right.

in addition to being disgustingly light crux clears a 2.2" 27.5 race king front and rear, has a threaded bb and has a totally standard cockpit. also the tt isn't super sloped so you can fit big ass water bottles and a frame bag in there.

not explicitly aero but my road bike is broken atm and have been riding the crux as my road bike. has been nearly road bike fast. officially incompatible with shimano 2x but it is working just fine for me.

specialized mondo, gp5000 all season, pirelli cinturato all come in 35mm and are reasonably tough. if you want actual tread you could go with a fast 35mm gravel tire like terra speed or g-one rs, but pavement grip isn't as good and wear will be faster.

i just slid out going rather carefully down a paved hill on challenge strade bianche 36mm htlr at 50psi and although i already knew this i would like to note for the record that these tires have terrible wet grip. maybe pressure was a bit high but i was barely turning in a wide sweeper, doing about 22mph and front wheel went out and i now have much less skin on my left side.

any recommendations for a wired-into-the-battery ebike light for my omnium mini with steps e6100? would also like a fender mounted rear light. plan is to drill the front of the platform for a mount and have the light hanging slightly under the rack.

old domane rsl was sick. so was the '16 madone. esp w/ the srm and 9000. that edition was also awesome with brambilla attacking like crazy

that is dope. mind describing how you did it in some detail?

shame we didn't get an overhead shot but looked like a wheel overlap the way he careened to the right. but i guess that could happen if you pulled your foot out.

i got one for an ex who likes it but doesn't ride that much. was generally well reviewed by cyclingtips but apparently quite heavy if you care

i've dropped my bike against a wall which popped the top plastic bit which has the button on it from my r8070 shifter. etube still recognizes the shifter but the pce02 thingy gives error codes for both the buttons. the connections to the top button look ok, as does the cable to the connectors, so i assume it has tugged on the connections at the button. of course the lbs said they couldn't do anything, but has anyone here successfully repaired one of these? the shifter is otherwise fine and it seems like a waste to just toss it.

appropriate thread

but what about the spirit of gravel?

had forgotten about the article written by colin mention in the new yorker. a bit cringe.

also he just seems like such a colossal dickwad. i don't understand how you can be in your 30s and still think treating people like that is ok. would have been a lot more sensible if she'd shot him not mo.

i think they are just saying because of the increased torque from ep8 you can get it going from more of a standstill. makes sense for the emtb use-case

you can't? last i checked they don't have cockpits available for you to switch

i mean sort of. he has good endurance but he is not particularly strong power or power/weight wise.

also that descent post is total nonsense. i've done the lakemont descent 75 times and am listed as second overall on strava. no way he was going 58mph. kom is 50 avg w/ a peak of 61mph. tiger descent is similar. kom is not quite 40mph. both held by absolute legends who were probably super-tucked on aero bikes in skinsuits with ripping tailwinds. there is a light at the top of the lakemont descent which heavily determines entry speed, and the tiger descent is quite pedaly, only around 5.5% avg with a corner you have to brake in at the top if you are going at any speed (certainly anywhere the speed he claims).

maybe he means to imply that is his top speed on the descents but w/ gps speed that is entirely untrustworthy and i don't believe him. traffic, wind, etc. make this comparison useless.

the white/silver propels are sicker imo but this is pretty decent. for a crit weapon does need deeper wheels though and the enve bar plugs are weird i agree (i have a pair and cut them).

yikes. and that is an ultimate too. why?

i've been running the 30mm version of the gp5k s for a while (on lb wr rims). feels indistinguishable to the newer version of the pro one (which is a good thing imo). also just as easy as schwalbe to mount now. and apparently faster so a win imo.
