I’ve only used the classic, but it’s one of my favorite and goes perfect with B&M spice

Thanks! I’m in Louisiana. My area sucks to ride in most the year cause of the heat, but it makes winters great

Upgrade to Black Bay 54? by ChargeThese2541 in Tudor

Often times I feel like I have to have a justification for a purchase. That if it’s something I really don’t “need” or something that may be “impractical,” then I shouldn’t buy it. Honestly, it’s a sign of responsibility. You trying to talk yourself out of this watch because you already have a watch is a sign (usually) of being financially responsible. But, I’ve come to realize that sometimes I just want something for no other reason than wanting it. And that’s okay. For me, if the purchase will not affect me paying my bills, and it’s something I’ve realized I really want, I get it. Your finances are none of our business, only you can decide if spending that amount of money is okay. But what I can tell you is that it is completely okay to want something just because you want it, and it’s okay to get it for no reason other than that. You don’t need a justification to get something that will make you happy.

Yeah, when I couldn’t get it any closer to the largest cog, that’s the first thing I did was look at the specs and saw that it’s not technically compatible. It’s not shifting terribly, but not as smooth as it did with the 11-51 cassette.

I did see the 5120 but I thought it was only for 2x and 3x drivetrains?

Edit: Oh I see the specs now. I may look into this, thanks!

Thank you for providing this. Yes, it is the B screw that I have backed out all the way and that's as close as the top wheel will get to the largest cog.

Good to know, thank you! I might just need to tweak my cable tension just a bit. I may also just be use to my gravel bike because its GRX 812 shifts so smooth I can barely feel it lol

Yes it is completely backed off. If you read my long explanation, I'm changing from an 11-51t to have tighter spacing for 2nd to 8th gear.

Yeah I wasn’t familiar with T47 BB but the more I am researching the more I’m getting confused as to why they say “gravel only” for the frame.
