The captions also replaced âderailleurâ with âderderâ at around 2:40. But, thatâs not a tarckism.

The last click is dropping your chain into the spokes on a climb thatâs too steep for you

I stopped and dripped sweat on one, one time and got a pretty impressive hiss

I blued out a set of the expensive TRP rotors because Iâm a fatty and went down a v steep road

I wanted to be in the Shimano setting for bb and rings, which meant GRX. GRX meant new FD that wasnât CX-70. Am trying to get away from dither bb tools and niche ring interface formats like WI and RH use. Have had really good luck with Shimano bbâs for bang for buck and ease of install. I stayed away from HTII crank arms after so many seam failures, so went GRX 600.

Someone could write a pretty good clickbait article about how all the advancement in gravel stuff since 2017 has barely moved the needle in event finish times.

There are offset FD shims that could potentially help keep that CX 70 in service

What other options are out there besides the Jtek? It looks like thatâs cheaper now than last I checked on it. At the time, I swear it was less expensive just to find a new pusher instead of order one of those.

I have a 3d printable model in Thingiverse of an eccentric shim. If you donât have a printer I can print it and send you one.

Oh wow, thanks. Iâll keep that in mind if I end up in that kind of dither in the future.
