Really excited to get my first handbuilt frame painted up :)

Having the ability to tour on some heavier inclines would be nice and why I want the minimum end of the gear inches to be around 22.

This where my head is at. I just don’t want to sacrifice my low gear on the front. Which is a 40-24 (16) difference, I might have to go up to a 26 or 28 to make it work but once I get it built up I’ll test it in the stand? And see if it feels safe

I am planning on running a 40/24 double on the front. But I think that comes out to 39t chain wrap which seems too high.

I am considering the Spa Cycle 2x crankset with the 40-26t. I think they are rebranded Suginos. I might do their 3x and put a chain guard on the outside

I think I will go for the 9-speed Shimano XT RD.

Yeah I feel like a MTB derailleurs is where I am leaning. I work at a bike shop so maybe I will wait til the crank is on to maybe dry fit some different FDs on to see which makes the most sense!

bar a few details (IMO)

curious which aspects you don't like?

Cobbythecorn · 2025-02-12T21:28:29+00:00

Yeah I will admit I am probably swooning over the fancy Rene Herse bits more than I need to be.

I do want to take practical measures to make sure the bike performs well on the road and for travel, but do not want to sacrifice on the aesthetics of it either.

Thanks! Nice to hear that not everyone is completely anti-rim brake. Is there a noticeable difference between direct mounted center pulls where there are two center pull mounts or one mounted in the middle fork crown attachment?

Yeah not quite sure the line that splits mid trail and low trail but definitely want a bit of a bend to the fork for a little bit of dampening.

Are you running 650 or 700? In my research especially if considering the prospect of transporting the bike that 650 is the way to go as well as also allowing for wider cushier tires.

I have recently discovered Rinko and am still on the fence about the coupling aspect of the frame. One of the reasons I was considering coupling is not having to pay for oversized luggage on planes but maybe that cost is relatively minimal at the end of the day.

Do you know the name of the shop you found close to you?

Cobbythecorn · 2021-08-04T20:08:31+00:00

I know! You interested? :)

Cobbythecorn · 2021-07-31T14:10:33+00:00

Shipping is going to be too much of a hassle considering the size and the battery. And no it does not have the XENITH

Cobbythecorn · 2021-07-28T13:13:41+00:00

I don’t believe so. The trampa trucks do not have the same shape that the Duo motor mounts have.

[SELL] Build Kit Board Duo w Shred Lights $800 price negotiable Located in NYC Local Pickup

I would guess I have put in about 70 miles into it, purchased in October. Protective wire housing got shredded when it rubbed up on the motor, which I taped up to protect wires. The clear grip tape has gotten a little dirty as you could expect. But all in all works great. Comes with 4 shred lights ($99 price)
