lol I imagine these will sit on the shelves much like the palace bad boy.

It was a joke brother.

Also that gen supersix did use an offset BB area, you just didn’t have to redish the wheel.

Ai spacing innit

Are you sure? Hope rotors are normally wider than Shimano/SRAM

It could also be the plastic handle had worn away and when you close the seat collar it’s only half closing. Pretty common for the metal nut to wear away the plastic

The kind of wack it takes to dent a caad would snap a supersix tube. Just saying

Lunch break build

The creaking and cracking is so horrible also

Anyone own a T-Line? Is the flex terrifying to you too?

I’ve had people come through my shop with these, that have no idea you need pump them up. #roadiesgooffroad ect

The drop bar levers on the market are actually pretty nice nowadays, you can use them from the hood or drops. I think you can get ones from fox, Easton, enve, pro, wolf tooth and probably more

Yeah pretty decent

These were “handmade” frames that were never designed to be ridden for ver long. It was probably welded on the wonk

Smoove is the best stuff I’ve used. Only last 2-3 rides/2-3 washes, though having to clean the whole drivechain to re-apply is such a faff.

I know they say you can reapply on a chain without cleaning but I find that doesn’t work if your chain is filthy

Do 2.3 rotors not just rub the whole time?

I guess it doesn’t really matter if it’s not too noisy

This is gunna be sick

What’re the opinions on chain lube for the grav we have (aka wet mud). I’ve tried pretty much all the different styles.

Wax is the only stuff I’ve managed to get lasting more than one ride or even just the whole ride, but I find it just generally feels pretty gross and “dry”. Plus waxing is an absolute faff

Even the wettest of wet lube can be washed off half way around a route that involves essentially riding down rivers.

Zipp, 3T, bontrager, deda, uno, Ritchey, Pro, probably more

Looks a lot like the gusset one

I still really don’t understand people who buy new frames (which aren’t cheap let’s be honest) and put parts on them that are 30 years old

Just turn the clutch off if you’ve got a front mech

With a RX812 rear mech they could probably go to an 11-40 or even 11-42

Just file the frame open. I’ve done it on a couple of the older rear triangles and everyone still has their teeth

I’ve made a GRX work work 11-42 x 50/34, but I’m a fucking wiz mechanic

Have you looked at the caad13? If you want a lively feeling road bike that takes mudguards I really don’t think there’s any other way to go
