Context … partner is running 38x11-42 and would benefit from a lower gear for a big trip.

Anyone happily running Rival 1 hydro with a Shimano 11-46 cassette on a long cage rd?

The other alternative (and official) path to lower gearing looks like a 10-42 with a smaller front ring. This looks like a lot more money, needing the XD driver, cassette and chainring but do want the lowest risk setup.

Compared with a new one, it's hardly changed and this has all the right disc road standards, it's still current.

Chaos in Petra, tourists mingle around trucks clearing debris outside the Treasury, a day after the government cleared out the illegal street sellers that lined the many narrow walkways through the city.

Looking back, my classified add says it’s a Kinetic Traxle 12mm Thru Axle - Fine (T-2100) which it says = 1.0 pitch.

Tarmac SL6

If you can find out the thread pitch, I might have something.

Anyone got any moth memes?

Wait, it isn't Richard O'Brien? Will you start the fans, please!

BIG Tubeless exists to drive wheelset sales

Thanks, this isn't going to win any style points, will move them away and setup as suggested

Taking a snap kind of answers the issue, assuming closer is better, can start with getting it closer to the tyre at the top..

Front wheel mudguard, spray is exiting the top and blowing back into my hands.

Do I just need to rotate it more forward to be more level or even downward?
Could be tricky, perhaps some sort of flap would work?

Keep that frameset. Start with brakes, MT200 can be had in flat mount or if feeling more flush, SLX.

Don't think you've mentioned what the gearing is on the crankset, could look into changing that.

Not an upgrade, bet get a short roll of 3M 8671HS tape (aka heli tape) and stop the cable rub on the head tube and heel rub on rear non-drive side. Else you may eventually need a new frame.

130mm Deda something or other.
KT6 or EC1 area.

Nothing wanted for it, pm if interested.

Clearance for bigger tyres probably limiting

.

However, you think Vitus is a good brand?

Have nothing bad to say about it. You are largely paying for the Shimano Steps motor. It has a prefectly acceptable Shimano groupset with hydraulic brakes. The Vitus part is just the frameset and it is a bit of a tank.

It works for us, has good range and can take the battery off for charging inside. Been ridden 60-90 miles a week for 9 months now.

Possible downsides:
Likely want to change saddle and maybe the tyres.
Limited clearance, tyres can't go much bigger.
Mudguards needed an adapter at the back, otherwse OK to fit.
The handlebar and stem are one peice, if you need to change stem length, you'll need new bars too.

Wiggle also has this up, not all sizes.. no idea on spec.

Partner has the lower spec model, fit some mudguads (bit fiddly) and good to go... also paid much more than this.

all reassuringly expensive

Spoke, Chrome, OrNot, swrve.. to name a few to look at.

if in oz, maap, no idea if any good...

Might be better than the UK distributor..

From the saddle in Jordan, condolences to anyone dealing with the UK weather last week.

Is the bag big enough and the camera light enough to comfortably support a Peak Designs capture clip on one side?

Wow! I’m moving back!

Don't move back, UK one is upto 50% off a few random items.. not sitewide 40%

Is this just straight up bonkers?

Pretty mad, yup! I just posted this other offer in the bargains thread, also great VFM when you consider the motor. https://www.wiggle.com/p/vitus-e-mach-3-­electric-hybrid-bike?color=midnight-blue­
