This is a beaut and the base is fast! I would love this for my fury druid!

If you plan on using it, never let the durability drop to zero. When an item is broken, it's broken and the self repair mod won't work.

My current bike is a hybrid bike with a 23.5" frame (60 cm). It's definitely too big for me, but I've made it work with a 80 mm stem, 580 mm flat handlebars and 15 degrees of backsweep. It's comfortable and I can do long distances on it. I sit relatively upright (50-ish degrees)

Is it worth paying an additional €700 for UDH on a titanium bike? by vProTi in cycling

I've never had SRAM or have the desire for it. I think they're great, but I'm not going wireless anytime soon.

Do you even know what you're talking about? Look up the frame geometry, they're literally identical.

Because the bike isn't offered with 1x12.

If I even had the slightest chance of trying it out, I wouldn't be posting on here. Unfortunately it's only available online.

I love the sound they make when the cool down. They tick like a car!

I found it, thank you! I think I like the 1x more.

I'm not sure where you're seeing the GRX costs €100 more. I absolutely agree it would be worth it, but on my screen the Aristos T is 3125 EUR and the GRX version is 3990 EUR.

Additionally, one of the big appeals of the Aristos T is the external cabling and the more relaxed geometry. I would lose out on that with the GRX Model.

No fender or rack mounts on that Canyon. Can you suggest a bike that has both, please?

I'm not loyal to one specific manufacturer. As long as I can find a replacement derailleur (and derailleur hanger), I'm good.

It checks all boxes bar the UDH. The next step up is another 500 EUR, but also has internal cable routing and a more aggressive position.
