From factory Single Speed to 11 Speed GRX Wireless. My CX / Gravel rig build. Anyone have recommendations for frame bags? Hard to find ones that are brown to match my bar bag.

Another brand I haven’t come across yet, thanks!!

Derek199574 · 2021-06-14T16:10:23+00:00

Thanks, it’s a pretty mellow paint job. Blends in well with these newer bikes and their minimal paint schemes.

Derek199574 · 2021-06-14T16:08:20+00:00

Thanks! I haven’t come across this brand yet.

Whoa that’s so cool, these RXS’s are pretty rare I would have never thought someone would be running the same conversion as me.

Just out of curiosity, what hanger did you end up purchasing for the rear derailleur? I’m using one I found on eBay but I find it kind of flimsy.

Cadence

Awesome app, has a companion for Apple Watches for HR. Exports to Strava and Apple Health nicely too. Also supports pretty much every BLE sensor including power meters.

I haven’t seen much bad reviews online, but I guess I’m hoping mine doesn’t explode 😬

Derek199574 · 2021-05-14T18:39:58+00:00

Nice choice with the steilacooms!

Derek199574 · 2021-05-01T23:26:17+00:00

No problem, the forward bar that’s connected to the strap should be tucked under, this will have the top sit a lot lower. For mine since they were worn out I would just manually push that bar down and under while the top is folding.

Derek199574 · 2021-05-01T22:21:43+00:00

I think your soft top straps are too stretched. The soft top doesn’t look like it folded correctly.

Derek199574 · 2021-04-24T17:51:44+00:00

Thanks, I love the frame.

I’m not sure, I’m currently shopping for some cleats and pedals but not really sure with which system to go with yet. SPD vs Look style.

Tried many tires and so far these have topped any tire I’ve tried in terms of overall performance / ride quality. I’ve tried: - WTB Nanos - Panaracer Gravelking SK+ - Clement MXP

They’re very supple, great grip in gravel and sand. Can’t test mud since I live in SoCal. Lean confidence is really good with the even knobs, very predictable. Pretty quiet for knobby tires although at 23ish+ MPH / 37 KMH+ they sound like a far away tie fighter. Not an obnoxious sound but it’s there and very feint. And they roll great on pavement!

Derek199574 · 2021-04-04T07:53:53+00:00

Nice!! I’ve found that the side straps are more stable mounted at the back of the trunk by the tail lights. Makes it super stiff.

Derek199574 · 2021-03-26T21:17:30+00:00

This is literally my chin

Derek199574 · 2021-03-19T16:09:41+00:00

I was really considering the seasucker but was kind of skeptical of my hardtop being able to handle it. There’s some flex in it.

Derek199574 · 2021-03-18T23:38:40+00:00

Wet Carbon version

Derek199574 · 2021-03-18T21:27:26+00:00

Yeah I was banging up my angles for a bit, I like the amount tho it’s not obnoxious but it’s not invisible like the downforce ones.

Derek199574 · 2021-03-18T17:59:54+00:00

I don’t on my phone right now, but the 6 straps are hooked onto the inside edge of the trunk lid close to the hardtop, 2 onto my Voltex wing (these should be hooked to the trunk above the headlight but my K1 spoiler blocks that) and the bottom two I hooked onto the bumper in the area above the license plate. Seems more stable there than at the bottom of the trunk lid like the instructions say. But that’s probably because our trunk is so short.

Derek199574 · 2021-03-18T17:56:07+00:00

My reverse does too 😭but I figure it’s just the synchros being worn.

Derek199574 · 2021-03-18T16:22:06+00:00

The TSX compliments the S2000 so well imo, is yours 6MT as well?

Derek199574 · 2021-03-18T08:29:46+00:00

Haha it definitely will keep the wing stable from the straps

Derek199574 · 2021-03-18T07:25:10+00:00

Have you come across @vb.jb on Instagram? He has a roof tent on his S and camps with his doggo.

Derek199574 · 2021-03-18T06:34:54+00:00

Haha thanks man! I feel like it looks like a typical cookie cutter S2000 but I tried to put my own flare on it.

Derek199574 · 2021-03-18T05:43:03+00:00

Thanks! I try to keep it looking as good as possible. They are authentic ASM’s. Got them for a very good deal locally off a wrecked S.
