I think 6 speed is 126mm spacing.
I have BB7 on my MTB and hydro on my Slate. Both work just fine. I hate the long hoods on the Shimano 685 levers. Considered buying mechanical levers for the shorter hoods and coverting the Slate to Spyres but I'm…
Consider Nox Falkor 36D
There are plenty of us with Slate experience. Mine is an Ultegra and I'm pleased after a year of use. I wouldn't want to be on an unsprung fork on the gravel I ride regularly. I'm also totally fine with the Oliver fork…
For 2017 I believe that tire has been renamed the G-One Speed and prior was called the Big One. Per this test the tire is super fast . The 700C X 30 version was ridden to 5th place in Paris Roubaix by Sylvain Chavanel.
What make & model rims are on these wheels?
Thanks! I'm going to consider the secret FB account. Now maybe Texas can get listed in the heading for Central United States category? Heck with nearly 10% of the US population maybe it should get it's own category?

The only proprietary pieces are realated to the Lefty fork; the headset, stem and front hub. \n \nThe handling is slow compared to what?

Since I got my Slate I notice I ride the drops much more. This is true for pavement but moreso for gravel. I have a Roubaix with very similiar fit. The difference seems solely because the front suspension makes for a…
Nox Skyline 275 if looking for carbon.
Shimano XTR 10 Speed Rear with Wolf Tooth TanPan to work with road shifters, Ultegra Front, SRAM PG-1170 11-36 cassette, 50-34 Cannondale SpideRing & SiSl2 cranks, Dra-Ace chain.
A nice feature of the Ergon seatpost is the Flip Head. Changes seatback by something like 14mm. I'm using the straighter version on a Cannondale Slate. I don't ever want to go back to a normal seatpost.
Unlike at least two other posters my ass hates the Specialized Phenom. It likes Selle Italia Novus and another model that I can't remember. The point is no forum can steer you to a saddle that will satisfy you. It's…
I'm pleased with my Slate. Very versatile. Lot's of tweaks to mine: 1. NOX/Project321/Sapim CX-Ray wheels - The rear hub driver is a new in house P321 design and it very nice! Hubs are Orange Anodized. Rims decals will…
That cordless Ryobi pump will accomplish jack squat. The pressure rating of the air pump/compressor is useless to determine if the device is good for seating tubeless tires. What is important is the flow rate and…
