>45t>8/9sp cable pullWe are so fucking back bros.
A crank design only a mother could love. Looks like some generic chinesium you'd find on Walmart bike, and not even the nicer ones. A large capacity derailleur is welcome though for us mere mortals who like big front rings but want to climb big hills.
>>2019260The front crank is irrelevant, run whatever 8/9 chainring you want in the front
>>2019260The important thing is you can slap this bad boy on any 8/9 speed bike. Road brifters included.8/9 was peak compatibility era and the last good thing that industry ever did
35-45 is gonna feel like your chain fell off
>>2019262Nah it's 1x specific
>>2019264Only if you're a coward
So this is the new claris/sora? Or altus alivio what the fuck ever idk mountain. We getting brifters? If 8 speed then it could be the new thing to put on 7 speed shitters to replace those deathtrap A050 thumb shifters
you need more?
>>2019916I agree with you but>32t
>>2019918how do you judge someone's gearing without knowing where they ride
>>2019258This mfs just waited for me to finish my 2x9 touring bike build!!Fuck
>>2019264>>2019267Surely it can't matter if you were to just turn off the clutch
Tangentially related but fuck hollowtech.After months of troubleshooting apparently my crank (!) developed a click when pedaling. How do you even fuck that up, it's supposed to be a solid piece of metal.
>>2019933>crank is literally called "HOLLOWtech" >it's supposed to be solid zoomers are so fucking dumb it's going to collapse civilization
>>2019933It's almost certainly the bottom bracket and not the crank. If your bottom bracket is pressfit you are have your reason.
>>2020002That was the first thing I checked. Then the pedals. I was actually convinced it was my EBB and I was cursing the innocent thing and needlessly disassembled, cleaned and greased it multiple times. Then I replaced the crankset and the bike has been silent since.
