The last time I changed my derailleur hanger I noticed the hanger was not pushed up flush against the top, so I fixed that when I tightened everything down again. The problem with that was then the rear wheel was tilted…

Has anyone used a third party derailleur hanger on a 696? I need another and don’t want to wait for shipping from China.

It basically is a gravel Aethos. Switching my frame from the Carbonda 696 to the S-Works Crux would save a whopping 1.3lb, but it's also a $5000 frame vs a $400 frame 🙈

Road bikes with small slick tires, toe overlap isn't a problem. Gravel bikes with large knobby tires... more of a problem. I hit my toes several times a ride on slow / steep climbs or switchbacks. It's never taken me…

You could embrace it and put a sram compatible cassette on, the upside is xd lets you go down to 10 or even 9t for the smallest cog.
