Jewbacca Posted October 19, 2018 Share Flat Bar Friday SS CX bikes? I only see a gear shifter on the top one... SSCX guys ride flat bars for the leverage.. It's a special allowance in the race rules.... Just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J∆kk∆ls Posted October 19, 2018 Share The bikes look great but I would rather splash my money on a hardtail. Having said that these could be great if you needed a commuter that can handle a mixture of gravel and tar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is just a MTB? I ride a rigid SS, have done forever, is it now classified as a Gravel Bike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatt Posted November 26, 2018 Share My Zero29... One thing that it is missing are the rear lugs to attach a rack and paniers, so any reasonably priced frame with them would get my money.... Pedaled from London to Edinburgh on a touring bike in July, and the paniers were brilliant.. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrnus Posted November 26, 2018 Share Tom Ritchey just called. He said we've been here before. pls tell Uncle Tom we really like his brand new, very exciting 2019 ULTRA steel frame hardtail. we just wish he'd stop calling it an XC bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrnus Posted November 26, 2018 Share But this is just a MTB? I ride a rigid SS, have done forever, is it now classified as a Gravel Bike? cool, just add different frame geometry, spacing so you can run nice Aero Disc Road Wheels for those fast commutes and you have a look-a-like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryvdM Posted November 26, 2018 Share All the while, Shimano and SRAM have different pull ratios for MTB and Road groupsets, so if you want to put drops on a MTB or put a flatbar on a gravel bike, you can't just change the shifters, you also got to change the derailleurs.

That Geo on the "new" frame is probably pretty close to my "old school" MTB geo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mongoose!

Not true for Sram. Both road and mtb have 1:1 pull ratio. I run Red shifters with XO Derailleurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
