I am running a 11-36 ten speed with a 27-40 Rotor doubles up front. Also have an option to throw a 25 on the front if I were doing mostly high altitude stuff. Here in the intermountain west, all the gears are used. Hope…
27/40 in the front and 11-36 in the back. Race face spyder on Easton SL cranks. 64/104 gives on lots of options. Even found Rotor Q rings in this combo.
Gaps with the 27 chainring is what I like on the steep stuff. Almost 60 so gearing according to leg strength is what works for me. Especially on the single track trails around here.
Running an 11-36 xtr 10 speed cassette and a 27-40 up front. Live in Boise so lots of climbing around here. Like the smaller gaps in gearing.
I had the same requirements, built up a Lynskey with flat bars. Running Syntace 12 degree bars, might try the Sweet 16 bars next. Without water bottle and bags, weighs in at 18.3 currently. CC wrote: Looking for…
I installed a Race Face cinch 64/104 adapter to run some Rotor elliptical chainrings. This ended up moving the chain line in about 4 mm on both chainrings. Had to add 2mm of shims to get derailleur low speed stop in…
Race race cinch 30 spyder mounts right up. Now I have age and terrain appropriate gearing. 27/40 front and an 11-36 ten speed cassette.
5mm minimum is my thought. How close is your heal to the chain stays? s0ldats wrote: so as an update, i re-measured my shell and as it turns out, MFG spec'd it wrong and it's actually 68mm. spindle and cranks fit fine,…
I have 3mm of shims with the cinch nut almost all the way backed off. Would be easy for a machinist to face off 2mm of the cinch nut. Spindle is a 129mm.
Western gravel grinding totally different than midwest graveling. Above 6k ft, your wattage output suffers. Sram and Shimano need to bring out 2x gearing for weekend warriors that can retrofit 142 spacing. 1x systems on…
I installed a Wheels Manufacture angular contact bb on my EC cranks with a 68 bsa Needed to add shims. Will measure it tomorrow evening and let you know how much extra spindle shimmage I have.
Shimano needs to come out here to Idaho and test their gearing with 20 pounds of gear loaded on a bike. 9k ft passes and many riders in their 40's plus, a 26-40 front chainring combo would be nice.
