Easton EC90SL w/46/30 is among the lightest carbon cranksets I've found especially in shorter lengths. I'm running this crank with 47/32 rings and Di2 Ultegra R8050 GS (Non clutch version medium cage) with ultegra 11/34…

The new GRX stuff looks great. So nice to see more options both mechanical and Di2 for the gravel market. Not sure if GRX Di2 levers / derailleurs share the same internal motors and electronics like Ultegra and Dura Ace…

Good catch on my front der clamp. It and the cassette / chain are all that's left It shifts great with Di2. Will be dropping in the ultegra 11-34 and dura ace chain shortly though. Will keep the Campy clamp forever
I do know what you mean. Campy will always have a place with me. We thought about modding the Record rear der to have a stronger return but decided it was more work than it was worth. I'll ask about the Record 12 group…
The issues are two fold and only relative to adverse / wet conditions which are prevalent where I live (PCNW). Once the rear der gets any amount of grit on it the up shift (from larger cogs to smaller cogs) goes in the…
Forgot to mention we didn't setup any of the Synchro functions. Just didn't find it useful or necessary. More of a novelty IMHO. I'm also old school when it comes to this sort of thing. I'm sure some will love it. So…
Played around with the programming on 2 different bikes this weekend and in both cases settled on a very traditional config. Right lever paddles shift rer der both up/down. Left lever paddles shift ft der the same. 3rd…
Here is a pic of my Di2 Ultegra junction box (or lack there of) setup. Really no reason for any Jboxes to be external given you have room for the very small one located inside the down tube and use the new bar end Jbox.…
I'm firmly in the 2X camp mainly for the correct gaps when riding with groups or solo climbing. Love 1X on my hardtail 29r though. 1X has it's merits but gravel riding is much closer to road when it comes to gearing. 1X…
Beautiful rig! Looks like you got away with 700X45 ish GK tires? My only real issue with the new SRAM AXS was front derailleur clearance for 650b in the 1.9+ range. Really have loved running the extra volume tires at…
Check out Easton for the new all aluminum version of the EA90 crankset. It should be very close to the weight of the carbon crank at a substantially lower price. Same gravel ring combos will work utilizing the "cinch"…

I wanted to like the new SRAM AXS groups but they really didn't solve the front derailleur tire clearance issue for 45+ 650b. What a huge miss IMHO...
