Price seems too good to be true...

Sram GX 1400 crank with a Neutrino Components chainring. Neutrino is a Russian brand, they were selling through their own website and eBay. Not sure if you can buy from them at the moment...

What exactly happened there? Did you switch waxes or something?

Don't really look like Bitex hubs tbh. Bitex also doesn't do a 102T freehub as far as I'm aware. Still looks like a great wheelset for the price.

I had asked Adam about the subject of waxing (1/8") KMC chains before. Here's what he had to say about the KMC coatings:

I would check the specs for the chain, if it doesn’t market a low friction coating of some type, then likely it is going be ok from wax bond perspective.

Maybe a BlackHeart? https://blackheartbikeco.com

That's what I'll be getting next. :-)

Have/had a couple of pairs of them and never damaged or snapped one. YMMV.

Beat me to it. Mentioned the same thing in the GBP thread, where Gaston posted the bike.
I think the bike looks like a lot of fancy parts cobbled together. Should have done moodboard before. ;-)

More Anti than GBP right?
Droopy stem matches the chain though. ;-)

The usual suspects are Michelin Pro 4 Endurance V2 and Pirelli Cinturato Velo TLR.

Do you have any pictures of your new SL7?

The Festka still looks awesome! What's the reasoning for going with the SL7 over the Festka? Discs?

Can highly recommend the OG version:

I think so, yes. Avoiding taxes by customs only randomly checking parcels seems to be a thing of the past. At least for me, over the last couple of years I had maybe one or two orders get through unnoticed...

Your question has come up what feels like hundreds of times before on this thread . ;-)
Just search for "disc" and you'll come up with this for example:

Beautiful!

Custom Cava size or did I miss something?

Spotted this one in Basel today! Minging! :D

Look like SimWorks Getaround. :-)

Aargh, that sucks! What a bummer. Get well soon!

That picture is indeed great! Bike looks fab, as does the background. Where is that?

What happened to the bike/frame in the end? Did you find a way to buy it back for a reasonable price? It's no longer listed for sale...

Beautiful bike, but even nicer scenery. Where is that?

Lovely bike, great mix of black and silver components! Crankset is chef's kiss. :-)

Maybe switch to a 26" Disc Trucker fork (45 mm vs. 38 mm offset)? That should give you a little more clearance. I'm not sure how much though. Maybe someone on here has been using that exact setup with mudguards.

Edit: Just saw your Wanted advert. You've obviously thought about going the trucker fork route already. ;-)

Something like this?

^^ This.

Rex 3 have a wider/bigger q factor, because they're MTB cranks.
