I am running canti's on my rig and love them. I find them more user friendly even thought my bike will take disc but I may be old school. I run Cane Creek SCX-5's and can get a 45 in there.
I love my Fisticuff. Meets your criteria I believe. I did a 1x10 but thought long and hard about single speeding it out. I live in the mountains and wanted to do so single track so the 1x10 won out.
Here is a little video footage from Tsali. I finally got the gravel rig on some single track and absolutely loved it! The first time I rode tsali was 20 years ago on a rigid mountain bike. It was good to get back to…
I considered Tour de Cashiers but my 7 year old asked to ride Jackrabbit and I could not tell him no.
Nice bike Jim!!! I was in there backpacking at the end of January.
Panthertown is another option if you are in Sapphire. I have not been in there on the bike yet but looking forward to it. I am just down the road in Highlands. My farm is just above cullasaja falls. There is actually…
Lot of good stuff west of Franklin. Got my first gravel ride in just west at Standing Indian. Look forward to exploring Fire's Creek out in Hayesville soon.
Anyone in the far western part of NC?
It's Alive!
Thanks, I had ordered some on one midge bars and after a month they still had not received them at on one USA so I canceled and got some Salsa Woodchippers.
Almost finished, my bars should be in Monday! Vassago Fisticuff Full Shimano XT group 1x10 via Hope 30T and 11-36 Cassette with BS-M10 bar end shifters Easton Wheels 700x32 Tomac Small Block 8's (Tomac was my hero back…
That Gryphon came out very nice. I was almost swayed from my current build by a Swift. I should have my bars by Monday but very happy so far.
Got everything for my build minus a set of dirt drops. Actually ordered a set 2/17/15 and still have not shipped. So at this point I just want to build and ride. Anyone have anything available out there? Thanks, Joe
Found a set of new take off's from a Surly long haul trucker in San Diego. Build is coming together now.
I will certainly post pics when I get done. I got an email from micro shift today. Dear Joe, It's our pleasure to hear you're interested in our products. FYI, we just delivered the first lot of bar end shifter BS-M10 to…
Thanks man! I want to ride this thing so bad I have more than once considered getting them. Shifting from the hood on a dirt drop just does not seem ideal. The answer is there I just can not source them anywhere. I…
Looking for a rear (pair is ok to) of Microshift BS-M10 bar end shifters. Even if you do not have them and know somewhere that has them in stock please let me know. Thanks, Joe
Which Microshift are you referring to as the BS-m10 is the base shifter for the GX and should be XT 10 speed compatible. Trouble is they are sold out every direction I look. I am in the same boat you described in I want…
Wondering which 10spd cassette you ran? The silvers started looking nice till they mentioned they kinda work on shimano mtb 10 spd cassette. Sounds like the spacing is to close for even a friction shifter.
Dug through the forum and never really saw much on inside rim width vs. tire width. I am not limited by tire width but rather by inside rim width. The wheels I have are 15 inside rim width as advertised and confirmed by…
