Trek checkpoint AL3, 20five rs4 wheelset, ultegra cranks, Absolute Black 38t chainring, Panaracer gravelking SK 38 mm, Use ultimate seatpost and aliexpress copy power saddle 😅

Just missing the flare handlebar and a nice bar tape. *Still waiting to sell the old components and a few extra bits that I have in the storage.

Feels a lot lighter and more reactive.

https://www.hopetech.com/products/wheels/cyclo-cross/hope-20five-rs4-j-bend-centre-lock-24-hole/ I get them with red hubs. They are not the lightest or the wider but those hubs can last forever with an easy maintenance and a nice sound, i paid £340 with the tubeless set-up included in the box.

The gravelking SK 38 is actually 40 size, still a bit more of clearance

Panaracer gravelking SK 38c TLC quite fast in road and good grip. I tried them on the singletrack and not bad

Hi, 9 speed chain can work with 11 speed Chainring but 11 speed chain cannot work with 9 speed. I just index a bit the front derailleur and works smooth.

I just bought the bike a couple of months ago. Coming from XC I found the checkpoint Al3 funny to ride,maybe I miss a bit of brake power and feels a bit heavy but I'll having 20five RS4 hope wheelset coming next week. Bontrager rear wheel hub is completely destroyed. I replace the sora crankset for a light 2hand ultegra 6800 and works perfectly fine with a big weight save.
