Makes total sense.
Do you have any opinion on the Lauf fork vs lefty Oliver?

Thanks for the response. I have a Jandd that sort of sits off center on my road bikes. It's annoying when I get out of the saddle. This one might work out on my gravel bike with a flat tt.

Tested out some new gearing on the SSCX today. Now running 40x20, makes for nice riding on some single track. Still cant decide if I can ran cross on 40x17 or not.

No need for di2 when you have zip ties and electrical tape
