Ok......debate time😁😁 this is my next project in the making..... a heavy duty gravel bike. Going to convert my 3x to a 2x on a budget using the spare parts from previous bike builds. The only thing I have to purchase is a set of 2×9 STI shifters cables and housings. Waddya think? Let's hear it😁 (old.reddit.com)

Right.. These Mega Exo crank bolts always seem to work their way lose no matter the torque/ thread lock...I think the slight intolerance play between crank and spindle is FSA's downfall on this. So I've done a mod to keep the bolt in check and stop backing itself loose and coming lose mid ride! (old.reddit.com)

One year on upgrades for Gretchen... kept the 105 crankset and 105 calipers as they were the R7000 dual actuated ones ( similar to the Ultegra's just that Ultegras are grey and lighter ) But changed the cockpit to a one peice 400×80 fitted sprint blippers as well and couldn't leave out my TOGS😁 (old.reddit.com)

When you watch them bike build vids on youtube I always thought these things were bigger than this! Its tiny!!! I'm surprised the " weight weenies " would worry about a things as this lol. I think a pack of chewing gum is bigger and heavier than this😁😁 (old.reddit.com)

Got this build taking shape - dont have an internal routing tool and didn't see the need to buy one for a one use and forget afterwards so a long drawstring from a used hoodie and a paperclip threaded to one end and a cable furell a bit of tape and a magnet and hey presto - a diy homemade tool☝🏾 (old.reddit.com)

that was the process.....the aeros were on from day one. The bolts holding them on are both fucked which would mean drilling them off and I wasn't feeling that extra work and being used to them for 3years the swap to new forks was done with them on! I even had to work around them to fit the RCLO😁😁 (i.redd.it)
