Re: Shimano 12s Deore or Slx Shifter and cassette should get the bulk of the money. Rear derailleur makes almost zero difference in quality of shifting. I prefer XTR shifter with Deore derailleur over XT and XT.

Re: Fiber based spokes thread These are really cool! The user MaineLotus in the MTBR thread has done an excellent job with this. I've ridden with him many times and the bike is impressive to say the least.

The idea seems great but then I see many used ones for sale and this article: https://gravelbikes.cc/tests/4-forks-comparison-which-is-the-most-compliant-one/
Makes me question its usefulness.

I've pondered the idea quite a bit for my new gravel bike but in the end, decided to stick with a rigid fork. For my wife though, it's more of a necessity than a novelty. She's been suffering from neck issues for the past couple of years and has pretty much given up on mountain biking at this point. Even riding her Domane on gravel roads is a bit much. I'm hopeful that a drop bar bike with 700c*45mm tires and roughly 40mm of squish would be a great option for her. Just trying to get creative and see what I can come up with.

Re: Waltly Ti gravel bike build 15 weeks from finalizing the drawings and the frame is finally finished. Once the frame arrives, I have some bead blasting to do then I'll start the build. All the other parts are on the workbench waiting to be installed.

Re: Waltly Ti gravel bike build Frame without axle weights 1,885 grams. Definitely not a light weight but I won't have to worry about the frame getting beat up.

Re: Waltly Ti gravel bike build Bead blasting is finished and came out better than I had hoped. I started the build and should have that wrapped up today or tomorrow. Looking like the final weight will be in the 19.5 pound range. The heavier Ti frame and dropper post add about 3 pounds over carbon and fixed post.

Re: Which carbon bottle cage would you recommend? I have a few of the Bontrager clones from riderace as well. Not much time on the riderace ones so not sure on their quality but they seem to be on par with the Bontrager clones I got a few years back. All still holding strong.

Re: Waltly Ti gravel bike build I hope it's indestructible! I don't think the ferry terminal workers are going to be too easy on it. There's a bunch of islands off of the coast of Maine that only have ferry access, and some don't allow cars. The plan is to ride as many as possible. I was using my wife's Domane 6 as a weight benchmark and I didn't even come close. That is 16.8 pounds but it's running 28mm slicks so it's not really an apples to apples comparison.

The spokes are actually white, which in person, pops really good with the pink nipples, 3k rims, and 350 hubs. I got rather lucky with the pink all being really close. The bolts and spacers are from one company from eBay, the valve stems are Industry Nine, the headset is a limited edition Cane Creek Slamset from a couple years ago, and the nipples are cnSPOKE from Amazon. The pedals are red as that was all that was available from Xpedo when I ordered them.

Re: Waltly Ti gravel bike build Bolts and spacers came from this seller.
