Nice! I have the Apex 1 build, only slightly customized. It's really an awesome bike.
I have the Apex 1 2019 Warbird. It came with a 42t in the front and 11-42 in the rear. I ended up swapping out the crankset for a Force 1 with a 38t chainring. I'm super happy with this gearing for my riding. I live in…
Going to 11-46 is certainly a reasonable choice. I’ve read here as well that it can work. But I still like changing the crankset, as it doesn’t mean increasing any of the cog jumps. For my use, the bigger jumps of 1x…
I was in the same predicament with my Apex 1 Warbird, as it also came with a 42t chainring, 11-42 cassette. I wanted lower gearing and didn't realize that the weird 4 bolt pattern would seriously limit my options. I…

Thanks for your reply. I was like 95% sure, but I totally appreciate the confirmation. And I actually didn't realize that there were adapters, though that doesn't sounds like the best solution unless absolutely…
I would really appreciate a sanity-check, as replacing/upgrading components is still new to me. I have a 2019 Salsa Warbird Apex 1. I want to replace the crankset with a Force (or Rival) crankset, so that I can run…
I received the call from my LBS today as well. They have the new fork in the shop. Will be taking my Warbird to them on Sat for the replacement and to get my goodie bag. Can't wait to have it back on the road.
I received a similar call from my shop saying that the forks were on their way, but they also said that (I think) the replacement is gated on the CPSC reopening. It sounded like perhaps the new forks need approval? The…
Thanks for the encouragement! And fat biking in the snow is a good suggestion. I'll have to look around to see what's available, but it might be harder for me to arrange.
I had a blast completing my first gravel events last year and have already signed up for 2 more this year! However, I previously was just a roadie and would really like to increase my comfort and abilities on knarlier…
Thanks for answering my questions!
Cool! A few questions: 1. Can you get caps for 12mm front axle? 2. Is MTB cassette spacing in 11sp different than road? I didn't realize that was the case. I have a 11sp SRAM 1x. Could you put on an XD driver instead?…
I'm selling a 2018 Salsa Vaya Tiagra, size 55cm, mint green. Less than 1 year old and in great shape. I've had a blast riding it on the road and gravel this year (did 2 events!), but ultimately, as much as I love it,…
