much gear are you carrying?

For what my opinion is worth, I rather like the seatpost. With the bag
there, the seatpost doesn't draw attention and looks "right". However,
custom seat posts are available, at not inconsiderable cost. Ti Cycles

I don’t need more setback than what I have - I bought this post for its setback and it’s adequate. This one is ugly but it is the only choice for 26.8. Stem: I have the Nitto extra tall stem and you cannot get it longer than 100mm. So, if I want to use a pretty seat post, I can, but I’d need to

I thought the seatpost looked like a Sakae LTE-100 type.Not sure what
problems you have making you consider reaming the seat tube, but that post
has the most setback you can get. If you need additional distance to the
bars, you could try a 10mm longer stem.

I used an adjustable reamer on my Gus. The affordable 27.2 reamer was out of stock and I couldn’t justify spending hundreds. I went slowly and used a 27.2 seatpost as my gauge. Once the post fit I stopped with the reamer. It was so simple and took about 10 minutes. My first time using a reamer
I was hoping to maybe be able to hold onto this but it looks like thats not
the best path for me right now. No parts left but it will still come with
the stock seatpost, the 113 bottom bracket installed, and the extra 110
bottom bracket. Brand new with no issues. I could do *$1000 shipped.*

I'm with you...the thought makes me way too nervous.

I’ve had enough experiences with bike shops to be very hesitant to hand them my bike for a task that could ruin the frame. What happens if the hole is reamed too large? I can’t see that the frame would be salvageable. On Oct 12, 2023, at 9:10 AM, Johnny Alien wrote:Many here have said that its

I do prefer 2x for bikes that see pavement. As a winter project thought
experiment, I built a bike with 46/26 x 11-28. The double 1x setup is
pretty awesome - I have a climbing set of gears and a cruising set of
gears. I still get plenty low with 26-28, 650b wheels and 175mm cranks.

How much do you like the 1 and 2T hops of the 11-28? If you find yourself
shifting 2 or more cogs often, then a very wide range cassette might be a
better fit, but if you like the fine tuning of your 11-28, then maybe it’s
time for a front derailleur.
I went from 3x9, 24-36-46 with 11-23 to a

Many here have said that its not a big deal to get a bike shop to ream it
to 27.2 to allow for more seatpost options. I find it frustrating as well
but slightly less so because I don't need the extra setback.

Yeah, the whole 26.8 seat tube limitation has got to be one of the most frustrating things about this era of Rivendell. On Oct 12, 2023, at 6:43 AM, Leah Peterson wrote:Ryan,That seat post is butt ugly. The only ugly thing on the bike. I like the setback it offers, and there are zero other
