NISI Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Definitely more gravel grinder than CX with 28c tyres, with more of a lean towards road... 36/52 crank?... Missed the mark IMO. Spez Diverge a better option in this category.What about the GIANT TCX? love mine 46/36 with 35c knobbies
Ryanpmb Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 What about the GIANT TCX? love mine 46/36 with 35c knobbiesPerfect Nice CX. I'm running a standard compact crank on my Cotic with 35c tyres. Find the compact crank is better than a CX crank for what I do with the bike.
Odinson Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 To all the CX'ers here. What do you guys think of this 30mm travel fork? Came across it when browsing SR Suntour's website. It's called the SwingShock. Wonder if you could fit it to a CX bike, to take the bite out of the rough stuff. http://www.cyclepedia.ru/images/imagecache/post_pictures/1253027415719-9hjrc7eoc22p-950-75_0.jpg
