@cake brakes for cargo biek?

Gotcha, thanks! So it’s a 200 rather than 100?

@ghostface What’s the weight on the vango? Is it now called something else? (Google isn’t throwing up much in the way of results). Thanks!

Any early 2000’s mtb

Lowering the stem will increase the reach to the handlebar too... before you buy new stem(s).

As @TvH says, you should probably adjust both saddle and cockpit simultaneously (provided you’ve got a comfy setup as it is)

I’m guessing seated position at the moment is relatively comfortable (in terms of saddle-bar reach), albeit not putting you in a great position for climbing?

Have you done as much as you can at the saddle end to steepen effective STA first?

If it were me I’d try to steepen effective STA as much as I could (short saddle ~260mm slammed all the way forward on the rails) then adjust stem based on where the saddle ends up to give a not-too-stretched seated position.

I think you’re a victim of slack STA combined with a relatively height saddle height (giving you a really slack effective STA. MBR measured the STA @ 67.5deg, (which I’m guessing is effective rather than actual)...

Alpkit custom would probably make the best use of the available space, no?

If you're being lazy, no, I guess not. Use existing front hub spacing, squeeze a disc interface and introduce a load of dish into a setup that was originally engineered for zero dish (100mm rim brake). Thankfully offset rims go some way to helping

100x12mm for disc is pretty daft when you pick it all apart

Mounts fine to the handlebars?

Praxis do an OEM-only 24mm axle cranks too. These would likely fair much better when combined with a BB86 shell (more room for bigger bearings)

Wash your mouth out @amey

I don't think you'd need to - Genesis specs the bike with a 1-1/8" fork and a ZS44 lower headset. The only difference being the Genesis fork has a wider (integrated) OD 47mm crown for a flush-fit with the ZS44 lower cup. Surly fork crown will be narrower (non-integrated) with the crown OD being narrower than the crown race - hence the visual step. AFAIK everything will work fine (bar the looks/step)

Trust me, it's a 44mm ID lower. No reducer required

It’ll work, no? You’ll just have to live with the step/looks. #herecomesthehotstepper

It’s a 44mm lower so ZS44 lower for 1-1/8” and EC44 for 1-1/2”. Looks like you have the ZS44 lower already installed.

If you want a flush fit with a 1-1/8” steerer you’re going to have to use a fork with a wider ~47mm crown (like the original Genesis one)

Sorry, no finders fee for you!

I do you niiiiiiiiiiiiice price. I like just have run out of space (this lives at work so only enjoys lunchtime rides)

12mm thru-axle F&R - OEM-level wheels (23mm int. hookless & setup tubeless). Not amazing (PG spokes) but not super-shit either (not that heavy). CL hubs w/ 6-bolt adaptors. I'll try and rustle up a for sale thread this weekend.

@chrisbmx116 selling a 58cm Norco Search XR at the end of May (after Dorset Gravel Dash) as I really can't be arsed to haul it back to Canada. Custom build - 650b, Reynolds 725, no decals (grey-blue) and weird mish-mash of Sram 1X (Force/Rival). Haven't thought about price yet.

Swings, roundabouts and tubes bigger than they need to be 😉

The lower part is - but with a ZS44 headset cup for 1-1/8" steerer (allows for an EC44 lower cup and tapered steerer)

Is what it is. Tapered steel fork steerers is probably the most daft thing I've seen in a while
