Great - thanks for the responses.  I've searched around, but I'll look for your write up as well.

29er / 057 Questions
« on: 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!
