As I said on E fixed review site this bike is fast compared with the touring bikes I have had previously.
The 2" foam on the carbon seat is magic and Bacchetta have mastered this over the years , I have a cover which helps with the longevity and comfort.
I have built H Plus Son 23 mm rims so I can run 28mm tyres.
The gearing on the rear is a capreo and Xt 9 speed cassette mix .
So I may run 9,10,11,13,15 17,20, 24, 32.----- or 9,10,11,13,15,18,21,26,or28,36.
On the front I run usually a 32 but will varry it from 28 to 34 depending on route and hills.
So If you are still with me that gives me a 9 speed range of 21" to 102" depending on which combination I use.
Not trying to change the world just love the simplicity of this gearing system.
By the way I have had a 29er MTB on a 1x10 for 3 years , thats a 28 front on an 11-36. now everybody wants that?
