Underachiever Posted May 31, 2017 Share So after the coffee ride today we decided to go for the 105 spec model, about R4k cheaper, comes with a 50-34 and 32-11. Rims are meh, but will replace with American classsic tubeless ready disc with 38c WTB tires. We will then try this out for a few months, then if needed go 46-34 with a 36-11 and a road link. Outer rings on the RS500 crank are cheapies. Thanks for all the awesome advice - love the hub knowledge, even on bikeradar etc and international sites dont get this kinda feedback, may have to wait for July for tax return to click go, but getting pretty damn excited. Montagu pass is calling...We are you getting the Am Classic wheels from? RS500 crank is good enough - oh, don't go for the 172.5mm length they normally use. 175mm is the better choice.

jcza Posted May 31, 2017 Share These are a must seeing we don't have Cyclocross here but use the bikes more for gravel grinding http://salsacycles.com/components/category/road_handlebars Woodchipper or Cowchipper Pure Savage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
