29er / 057 Questions
May 28, 2016, 08:24:05 AM- Considering an 057 for an XC / Gravel / Monstercross bike. Currently have a cross bike for gravel rides, but like the idea of being able to run larger tires for rougher routes (CX bike limit is around 40mm width). I like that the 057 has been tried and tested over the years - gives me a little more confidence.
Have a few questions about setup and was hoping you could help me out.
-I see a lot of pictures with 1x or 2x setups. I need a wide range of gearing to use on pavement/gravel. Can I run an XT triple ring crankset?
-What do you think the max tooth count is for the big ring without getting too close to the chainstays?
-What seat collar did you use? Is the diameter required to clear their carbon a proprietary size?
-Did your frame come with tubing in place for the internal cable routing? Seems like some do and some don't?
-Is there a special dimension for minimum insert on the seatpost, or should the markings on the post be sufficient?
-What size rotors are the post mounts set for with no adapter - 160mm?
-Anyone riding their standard carbon QR fork FK023 and any issues with it?
-Any special setup tricks or tips for things that you needed to buy for the build?[/li]
Thanks in advance!
