Mongoose! Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 So close ... No idea what one would do with such a thing though! Sinkplaatpad masjien
NotSoBigBen Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 700c wheels will fit inside that frame with 35mm gravel tyres on them. Finishing touch to make this a proper cross bike.Better? Farrnus, Dieter ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°), Jakkals. and 1 other 4
Jakkals. Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 The hub is a place for bikes, ride what you love. No need to make such comments. This isnt the Vegan thread. NotSoBigBen 1
Jakkals. Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 Better?Best incorporation of the future shock and save seat post Think this will ride well on long stuff. NotSoBigBen 1
BaGearA Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 Better?have an alloy bar machined to go in the place of the shock , it's probably toast any way and seals prolly don't exist you'll drop around 300 grams if not more
Eldron Posted June 20, 2019 Author Posted June 20, 2019 Better?That is a proper bodge. I love it! Farrnus 1
JulienR Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 Hi all, i have been toying with building my own Monstercross bike for a few weeks now and have eagerly looked to this page for some inspiration and tips. I have one question that i would appreciate guidance on: What is the cheapest way to use brifters (designed to work with cable operated brakes) with hydraulic disc brakes?
Pure Savage Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 Better?Just be careful, you going to get a letter from Spez saying you are infringing on their 2021 line up of gravel bikes! This bike is GREPIC! Farrnus, NotSoBigBen and Hairy 3

I have one question that i would appreciate guidance on: What is the cheapest way to use brifters (designed to work with cable operated brakes) with hydraulic disc brakes? Spend the cash and buy actual hyrdaulic road shifters. You'll thank me later. Now that gravel bikes are a thing and cyclcocross bikes are getting more popular there is a variety of middle quality hydraulic road shifters. My memory is fuzzy but RS685 comes to mind... JulienR 1

They are awesome. Light, brake really well and will very cheaply transfer across bikes as cable length doesn't matter as it's not hydraulic. They are honestly really really good. Wannabe 1
