I think a dedicated GRX thread would be great idea. I started one yesterday about the GRX FD but got no takers (maybe it was just a lame question).
I was wondering if this makes sense; the GRX FDs are designed to work only with GRX crank sets due to the 2.5 increase in chain line. Could this FD work with Shimano 2x MTB cranksets since they have a longer spindle for…
Ultegra cranks and 46/30 were both mentioned at the onset. I was able to get that combo by using an Ultegra triple. 130/74 bcd. Outside ring replaced with BBG and multiple gear combos available with that bcd. The bb30…
This set-up is a braze-on CX 70 FD and a 105 3x turned 2x with chain guard, 28t and 38t chain rings. Shifts fine with no issues.
I appreciate what you did cassette wise. Sometimes it's better to adapt the machine to us when possible rather than adapting to the machine. Especially when it's in our best interest, like with injuries or…
Built this up from a Redline510 for my wife to ride on crushed limestone trails like the GAP and the Towpath. I rattle canned the paint in the colors she chose, this was essential since she had to like the look in order…
Just saw this on eBay. Not really a factory gravel bike but it might be something you could work with. Search: 2016 Cannondale Catalyst 27.5 Hardtail Small. New and price is nice. Disclaimer: I don't have anything to do…
If this design is significantly better than a Redshift stem, I think it could be re-engineered with a normal stem placed low and "biplane" bars. But I don't think it will happen. I personally hate when manufacters…
Thanks. If I could get the FD a little lower I would. There is about 4mm clearance and it might be better for the shift up to the 38 to be a bit lower. The LBS said the chain might overthrow to the 38. It didn't on the…
As the original owner of 1950 legs, I've gone with the 3x to 2x conversion. 38/28-32 up front and 11-36-40 depending on the terrain. FD is a braze on so it was a bit tricky, but it works.
Hope your 46/30 turned out the way you wanted. The excellent mechanic at the Trek shop got my 38/28 to work with the CX70 FD on the Boone braze-on. So far no issues.
Before you shell out for the fit link note that WickWerks states that it is designed for 41/33.
Granted I'm not planning on a 46/30, but I am planning something a bit drastic on a Trek Boone. I'm hoping that the braze-on doesn't become an issue. My experiences so far might be helpful. I have a 38/28 Ultegra set up…
I have found that a loud PHFFFFT sends squirrels scurrying to climb and freezes cats. Keeps them out of your wheels.
Hello, \nI attached a pic the same way (new here) but I would like to post pics as a full pic instead. \nDid you figure that out? \nIf you did, please share, I can't find anything on it but your test. \nThanks \n
