Do we get braggin rights for going into the negatives? I think one of my bikes still has the dork disc AND reflectors on there.

If you achieve impossible levels of Fred eventually you might come back around to being cool again.

dork disks will never be cool

Some of those leading spokes on your rear wheel look like they're taking a sharp turn at the nipple. Is that more normal for small wheels?

Yeah these wheels are weird.

The best part is that it’s a legitimately good bike, almost shockingly so.

Why haven’t tri bikes just gone 1x yet?

jumps between gears, but there are some okay 12sp options now assuming you’re not climbing at all

The Renegade I’m looking at is the Force 1 11sp 1x and was under the impression that a gravel-oriented 1x is manageable. Is that not really right?

It’s totally fine, I wouldn’t want to race a 1x TT or road bike, but for just farting around it’s fine.

Between my cross bike and folding bike I have what’s essentially two 1x road bikes, they’re absolutely fine but sometimes the jumps between gears can be annoying.

HAIL eSATA-n posted:

42t x 10-42 is the best drivetrain, change my mind

This is a good and correct take, although a 40t ring is also good if you climb a lot.

I thought this green bar tape would be nice on this build but I did half of it and I am not so sure now....

What is a good colour to match the maroon paint?

Also, I think I need a better stem, something less racey and that would provide a more upright position.

Regardless, as it sits, I like how it rides.

I have some chrome fenders for it too.



The Fizik terra green tape would match the GK green better fwiw

B&A is really nice, good and wide, not many road crossings, nice tree cover, smooth.

And easily linked to the BWI trail too.
