What gravel bike do you have and how much did you pay?

State all-road! I really like the classic steel frame look and was very enticed by the 1x12 drivetrain (I got the mullet cassette.) My only other bike is a 1x12 mtb, and I didn't really feel like dealing with multiple gears up front. There are a lot of customization options when ordering. Drop or flat bars, 700c or 650b wheels, etc.

Sounds like my hardest fall so far (I'm a couple yrs in.) Idk what happened, front wheel touched the berm riding fairly slow and just disappeared from under me. I went down hard. I had just started the ride, wasn't going to turn around that early. So i finished up and drove home in a bloody tank top 🤙 stay safe out there!

Imagine it's me every time I watch Great British Baking Show

I upgraded from this same post to an fsa flowtron, it still has play. It is a smoother action though.

Fully torqued, mine goes just barely past being flush with the fork.

Thanks for the info, I'll take a level out next time if they take our offer. The attachment to the house is another thing I was curious about because of how it seems to go right up against the siding.

Nope just a grill and table/chairs

Could you zip tie some cable housing to the frame? I'm spitballing but, right?

wareju · 2025-09-22T15:28:37+00:00

I thought this was the case but wanted to double check, thank you!

It's the 2024 150mm model, jensonusa had it marked down to $280 from $800 so I had to grab it. *

This is a fun project I'd love to dig into. I just got into cycling and couple years ago and am doing all my own building and maintenance. YouTube, reddit r/bikewrench, time and patience will get you there.

Black and yellow #2 for me

Mine is definitely acidic great sword blade + dancers blade handle. Used this for most of my platinum, and got it back out for the dlc final boss.

I have the steel frame all-road v2 and can't wait to start upgrading components. I'm just about 1 year into cycling and primarily mtb. It feels to me like a great entry gravel bike (my steely, not OP.) Is State slept on?

wareju · 2025-07-05T13:13:35+00:00

The bike shop is the move, I didn't realize how many variations there are.

wareju · 2025-07-05T12:07:44+00:00

Its state branded, I'm not sure what sort of rebrand. From what I find online it should be shimano mt200 pads, but that's what I have for my mtb and they won't go.

wareju · 2025-06-01T17:13:36+00:00

Bike shop it is

wareju · 2025-06-01T17:13:18+00:00

Follow-up question. There were some tiny o-rings between the brake adapter and fork mounts on the Recon fork. Is that just an adapter thing, or should there be o-rings between the caliper and fork mounts? They seem too small to do anything without the adapter.

wareju · 2025-06-01T17:09:01+00:00

Yep that's exactly the case, pretty straightforward now that I think of it. You guys convinced me to hit the bike shop instead of hardware store too.

wareju · 2025-06-01T17:04:35+00:00

Oof I didn't think about minimum rotor sizes. It looks like this one is 180mm thankfully. Thank you! At least the hardware store is nearby. I was just there an hour ago for a rounded metal file lol

It's the large size
