The forks are really nice and smooth with good damping and rebound. Even has a clutch derailleur! Now just to see if I can convert it to tubeless somehow... TheoG 1

I switched out the cockpit for slightly narrower bars with a rise, shorter stem and zero setback seatpost. Wow, bikes look great. I must still pull the trigger between this or the Trail version. Please give info on the stem and handlebars?

Please give info on the stem and handlebars? Standard stem is 50mm, handlebars 570mm wide, flat. I put on a Rapide 35mm stem and the bars came off a Rook SS. Think they are like 550mm wide with a 15/20mm rise. Standard seatpost looks about 50mm setback. I can't see any reason to get the trail version over this.

Probably going to copy you with that stem. Trashy 1

True story. The plan was to hang these two from the start. No idea why. Would have been great to hang all 4 but i’m out of wall space. The other open wall is taken up by the solar.

I see some people move the brackets closer to each other, then raise every second bracket so that the handle bars are higher then the lower set .... Nice setup Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1

Cardio Goth Posted October 11, 2022 Posted October 11, 2022 Winter is coming.. Spent more than I would believe reasonable on lights and a winter jersey, but European winters don't take prisoners. I hope I can get through some long winter rides without freezing my butt off or worrying about lighting for once. gerriemtb, Dexter-morgan and ChrisF 3

peetwindhoek Posted October 12, 2022 Posted October 12, 2022 OB at Epic Cycles helped me with a few teaks on my 8 speed Rook Scout that I use as commuter. I am hoping the NuVinci 360 hub was a good choice and went tubeless with WTB Resolute 42 tires. Now to save for brake upgrades... ChrisF, MORNE , Fred van Vlaanderen and 5 others 8

Good grip if you do venture into the mud, and decently thinner than the stock 47mm the Rook comes with.
