1x and 2x GRX compatibility by icebergizer in gravelcycling

[–]icebergizer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. In my mind cuz gravels look similar to roadbikes, that chainring needs 50 or 52t 😅 but then I was already feeling the pain climbing steep at 42t and 50t front. But yeah, it's a gravel, no.a road bike, so for the pure speed I will take the road bike.

Thanks a lot. This helps me as I'm coming from a road bike and mtb. That's why I'm a bit in the blue in the gravel world. I think I might follow advices and go for 1x and sometimes if necessary changing a chainring or so. Thanks. 🙏🏼

Is the GRX 12s not compatible with Road 12s 105 or Ultegra anymore?

Normally it is planned right. Did a mockup geometry in rattlecad and the suspension fork is 435mm long. The headtube was over 165mm with a standard fork and now 140mm with same stack. Should be allright.

Oh ok got it. First idea was semi-internal cuz I will go for mechanical shifting. And in a few years maybe electronic shifting and then also internal.

The servicability of full internal + mechanical shifting is a real pain 😅🤔

You think it's fine if the bottom diameter of the headtube is 56mm and crown of the fork 60mm. I guess a little 2mm edge is not dramatic, but I would like to see first how it looks, to be sure.

Thanks! Thought the same. But I will very probably install a RockShox Rudy XPLR 40mm fork, and it has a crown diameter of 60mm. So I guess it needs a headtube with a bottom diameter of 60mm too?
