Thanks for the feedback. MKS, made a few kilometers from my first home in Japan, a solid likeable recommendation.

Anyone used the Fly pedal adapters(opens to youtube)? They read and Youtube well. I find the concept quite appealing but they ain't cheap over here to gamble on.

I think that what this actually calls for is N+1. I hate to say this but I'm thinking that what you actually need is an extra "light townie road bike", ideally made from light gauge steel and equipped with flat pedals, wide slick tires and drop handlebars. You'll need some carbon fiber kit on it so that it isn't too heavy of course.

Gotta have the right gear, right?

Kidding aside, I've got my old Kona Jake the Snake gravel bike currently equipped with flat pedals. I was going to sell it when I got my Crux, but its been a super useful bike for pulling the kiddie trailer, then the child seat when they got a little older. My daughter (my youngest and last kid) just outgrew the kiddie seat, which is super sad, so its now just chillin in my garage with flat pedals and a 760mm riser bar.

What kind of prices are you seeing for the Fly platforms?
