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.

I was watching this one myself but ultimately decided to pass on it since I would also have to find a Di2 group for it.

Does it count as a gravel bike if it hasn't seen any gravel yet???

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
