Jbr Posted December 7, 2022 Share Complete… for now ! still not 100% happy with the DIY chainrings I’ll see overtime if power readings are consistent or not, I may have a lead on overside inner chainrings (42/44T) but they have a queue and won’t have until end of jan. next thing is probably moving my GX Axs from the mtb to this bike (and put xtr back on the mtb), will need to order rival shifters for that ! So it will wait ! mecheng89, Maknash, babse and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've put back on the adapted 42T APEX chainring that weighs 3 times the inner ultegra 39T that I had on temporarily, so maybe a little bit of weight to gain there.

Momsen R355 One (https://momsenbikes.com/2020-archive/r355-one/). Absolutely in love with the colour scheme, also conveniently colour matches my current bikepacking bags. As with my previous Norco Revolver, gona now start doing small upgrades here and there to suit my needs, for now only upgraded the tires Maxxis Rambler 45c, and stuck my carbon aerobars on. Next item I rate will be a carbon / suspension seatpost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume a dropper makes downhills alot less scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you will need the Easton AX Dropper remote for drop bars, works a charm! https://eastcitycycles.com/products/post-remote-underhood-dual-pull-ax-lever?variant=41810807947425 Check it out here @ 3:27 Edited February 13, 2023 by capediver cadenceblur and Charity85 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbr Posted March 2, 2023 Share This is starting to look proper now ! Had my axs moved from the mtb to the gravel bike with some rivals hoods. 8.9 kg with a lot of sealant in the tyres ☺️☺️ Not sure it explains the +300g though Edited March 2, 2023 by Jbr BuffsVintageBikes, NeverNotRolling, Help.Me. and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
