It wasn’t exactly cheap and it doesn’t look that impressive, but I’m finally 100% self-sufficient. I still get my consumables (and the occasional advice) at LBS though. And yes, I do have a stand.2yr ⋅ norecoil2012 ⋅ r/mountainbiking
Borrowed a bike while visiting Sweden. It would have been nice to have an XC bike on single track, but I was impressed with how this bike handled the abuse. Swedish steel is real 🤘1yr ⋅ norecoil2012 ⋅ r/bicycling
We don’t have a ton of double blacks in Connecticut, but we do have a lot of these beginner friendly XC trails.5mo ⋅ norecoil2012 ⋅ r/mountainbiking
Diverge EVO in XC mode. Raised some eyebrows at the race even before the 1st place finish ;)3yr ⋅ norecoil2012 ⋅ r/xbiking
Would any 6/7/8 -speed chain work with this 3x7 (28/38/48 x 14-34) setup? Thanks.2yr ⋅ norecoil2012 ⋅ r/bikewrench
Decided to finally add a hard tail to the quiver at 47. Should have done a long time ago.1yr ⋅ norecoil2012 ⋅ r/mountainbiking
Where do you guys run your cleats? Coming from MTB I started all the way back but it didn’t feel right on long grinds. I moved them forward a touch (current position) which feels more efficient for pedaling. Not sure if I should keep going.9mo ⋅ norecoil2012 ⋅ r/gravelcycling
Been looking at a Cutthroat GX AXS ($5,700) for a do-it-all bike, and did some geo research. Now I’m trying to figure out why shouldn’t get a carbon XC bike w/ GX for $3-4K instead, spend another $1K on drops and Rival e-tap, and shred the Cutty into press-fit BB obsolescence. Am I crazy?1yr ⋅ norecoil2012 ⋅ r/gravelcycling
Would appreciate input on how to convert this to a 1x. Can I can buy a 1x crank and just swap it out? BB width is 68mm and the crank shaft is 16mm. What would be a good 1x replacement?1yr ⋅ norecoil2012 ⋅ r/xbiking
