Like that, yes. Internal shift hub that goes from 100% to 70% and is evidently seamless shifting through 1000W (which I'll never hit, for sure). I can see a 1x with something like a 46 front, 11-36 back and have everything I have with 2x.
What’s a car in this case?

Did they have to drill new holes to fit that chainkeeper on there? 62T“Bigger is better!” Victor Campenaerts’ Ridley Noah with 62T chainring + Classified Powershift hub
If you fancy a big chainring, this bike at bedtime will sure please youroad.cc
Victor Campenaerts set to use Classified hub and monster chainring at Opening Weekend
A 62T chainring, narrow bars, Classified gearing and wide tyres are just part of his unusual Classics setup
showed up this spring.
That thing is comical looking. My godDid they have to drill new holes to fit that chainkeeper on there? 62T
I ride Crankbrothers Stamps. I have Stamp 1s on the hardtail, and Stamp 7s on the full suspension. The Stamp 1s require longer pins than what they come with new, and are frankly not very good out of the box. I would highly recommend the Stamp 7.
Awesome. Thank you!
The Crankbrothers are nice, but I go with the OneUps on all my bikes actually (gravel, mountain, fat). Big fan of them https://www.amazon.com/OneUp-Compon...refix=one+up+pedals,aps,103&sr=8-3&th=1&psc=1
Post pics of your setup and stuff you're taking. It would be way cool to see that.
Yea. I always love to see other setups.
Yea, we did a 60 mile trip 2 years ago over 3 days and they hated me for it. But we do like 4/5 miles at a time and then stop and get ice cream or something.. I may have to make this one a 4 day or reduce the mileage. Will get them out for some 5 mile rides and see how they are feeling.
Me, the wife, and our 7 year old will be doing a “gralley cat” ride next weekend. 20ish miles over gravel with a known start and finish line - and ~8-10 “checkpoints” that we can hit in any order we want in between them. Over gravel. Hoping the 7 year olds spirits stay high the whole time, though I’ll be pulling him on a “tag bike” (he’ll be connected to my bikes seat tube).
When my son was 9 we did a 36 mile ride together and while he's athletic, he's not much of a cyclist. Depending on the elevation gain, I think 100 miles over 3 days is entirely doable, especially if broken up into smaller segments with pit stops.
FULL BENEFIT
It rained *a lot* on day one and we wound up waiting it out, leaving late, and cutting about 16 miles and 2k' of climbing off the planned route. Day 2 was sunshine, lollipops, an rainbows. Here is a pic of my setup the details should be in the photo caption.
Very cool. I'd love to try bikepacking, but I don't think the wife would be too pleased with needing to buy another bike.
How you liking that Poseidon drop bar? Been looking at one of those for my wife (although maybe the flat bar version).
I have taken bikepacking trips with a road bike, a gravel bike, and a mountain bike. Depending on route chosen, you can make just about any bike work with the right gear
My last XC race they started the tandems before the rest of the field for some bizarre reason and I got stuck behind one on a climb, and had to stop and get off my bike as they practically wiped me out as they tried to navigate a turn. Couldn't imagine a quad tandem unless the race is all on pavement or gravel.
My brother has a Poseidon X flat bar, and I think I would recommend going with drops. I tried to get him to go with the Redwood w/ drops (which is what I think Jaysus has), but he was nervous about drop bars and wanted to save a few bucks. The Redwood seems like a really versatile bike, but Poseidon definitely cheaps out in a few areas.
All pavement, over the rolling terrain of western Canada.
Seat post too short before?
Yep, I thought it was good using an estimate via 109% rule, but it was too low.
Yea, I have heard that the stock wheelset is heavy and sluggish. Why would you recommend the drop bar over the flat bar? And yea, am looking at the Redwood over the X
I thought the riding position with the flat bars felt a bit off, and I suspect the drop bars would remedy it…. and of course they give extra hand positions for longer days in the saddle.
Interesting. I never considered b/c of the price point, seemed like a hassle and my rides are typically in the 20-30 mile range on road (didn't think it was worth it for that distance) but this sounds appealing.
This for sure if you are planning on riding further that 15-20 miles. Your hands and wrists will thank you.
What brakes are they? Looks like they might be TRP Spyres? If so, those are good ones
I have three bikes, all disc brakes, all will send you over the bars if you clamp down as you are describing. I'd take it to a different shop as suggested, tell them what's going on and have them take a spin for themselves.
Yeah, those are the ones. I heard these were the good ones so was pretty surprised.
Yea, surprised too. I have a set of those on my gravel bike and I really like them
Dead serious - the most important part of the bike is the front brake. If that isn't working you shouldn't be riding it. Either it's set too open so you have to squeeze all the way down before it engages or something in the cabling is hosed up.
I have one of each and I don't find discs to be overwhelmingly better, particularly for road. Hyro discs modulate better, for sure, and I can see why those are popular on gravel and MTB. For road I'm perfectly happy with my rim brakes.
I only mtb or gravel these days. Well, I zwift, but brakes aren’t important there.
Do the brakes feel like they engage right when you pull the levers, or do you need to pull the levers all the way to the bars? Bedding in the brakes is certainly a thing, but it's not going to change your brakes from being unable to safely stop to being amazing.
