Mongoose! Posted March 18, 2017 Share Mine has 46cm centre to centre.Also fitted some Crosstop leavers. Really a must according to me.Must say I really enjoy my bike!!! Edited March 18, 2017 by Mongoose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorro5614 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Thanks Mongoose What brakes do you guys run? I have TRP Spyre-C, but the braking performance is average at best. I have Shimano RT66 160mm rotors front and back with std calipers as mentioned. I have 105 5800 brake levers. Can I try different cable housing or brake pads?

Mongoose! Posted March 19, 2017 Share I have Shimano Sora callipers. It is specifically made to be used on STI's leavers. ( Shimano entry level CX range) got it from CRC. My first build with it was with 9 speed Sora leavers. Braking was fine.Up grated to carbon Sram Red leavers. The carbon leavers are so stiff. Braking performance increased drastic. Felt like new brakes. You will be amazed what difference stiffer leavers make to braking performance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthunders Posted April 7, 2017 Share Got myself a Singular Peregrine to build up. In two minds, don't know if I should go Single speed or put some gears on it? Stretched@Birth, IH8MUD and Monark 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewbacca Posted April 7, 2017 Share I took my Mercer and made this.... The dynamo hub/light combo makes it a perfect commuter/greenbelt slayer. Having so much fun on it IH8MUD, Kalahari Vegmot, Seadog and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewbacca Posted April 7, 2017 Share That is awesome! Killer! What ratio are you running?32/18... I take it up to the block house and on the trails around so didn't want to restrict myself too much on the climbs. It is pretty perfect. I am not setting any land speed records but it's comfy Monark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddy Posted April 8, 2017 Share What pressures do you guys run on 35c-40c tyres? 3bar?I ran 2.5 front and 2.7 back on 40c Clements set up tubeless on a Breedts ride last weekend. No problems. Enough grip to ride all the way up and solid enough on the way down not to bottom out. Edited April 8, 2017 by eddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertusras Posted April 8, 2017 Share Okay guys, so I've been following this thread for quite a while now, and I've recently come into some money that can be appropriated to a new project, which involves a Chinese carbon cross bike. First question. There are so many guys selling their stuff, and so many of the frames are similar, what do I go for and from who do I get it? It appears that Thru-axle is becoming the thing now, so I'd prefer to go with that and (obviously) a disk brake setup. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcza Posted April 8, 2017 Share What pressures do you guys run on 35c-40c tyres? 3bar?3.5 bar on 40C Veetires. Can probably go softer but don't want to damage the rims when I run out of skillz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
