Miguel's fat-tired fopmobile

I had old-ass Ultegras that fit that, 6600 or sommat

6500? idk

[quote=NOVELTYNAME]Yes but on a frame that can only fit a 30mm tire under the brake bridge?
Edit: chainstays will only fit a 28[/quote]

if the frame can only clear 28mm then it’s a moot point. Alls I’m saying is that if there’s frame clearance the 6800 calipers will clear a 30mm tyre.

R8000 should clear exactly what the frame clears IME. I think I can fit 32mm actual now whereas 30mm would not fit the 6800 brakes I had previously. The improvement is real and I would upgrade again.

my 6800 brakes clear 28s on a frame that clears 28s. gotta squeeze the tire a bit to get it in though

I’ve got the following:
Frame/fork
Headset
Salsa quill stem

The rest is pretty open

Does anyone have any suggestions for a dream Steel rim brake road bike?

Risers

i think im keeping my flat bar fat tire steel caad8 with flat bars should i 1 or 2x11 di2? if 1x11 i might get a dropper

ps i might have most of a shimano metrea group up for sale

where/how do u ride this contraption?

mostly in the city but sometimes on the gravel road on the edge of the city

bike still looks like this
except it has a different saddle/seatpost and jandd framebag
steerer tube needs to be cut 1.5cm, fits a spacer/light mount and stem

1x, big cassette, dropper, pdw takeout basket

:point_up:︎and don’t forget the box of wine

why are you getting rid of metrea?

because di2

it better be Nexave Di2

what is the preferred flat bar hydro brakeset for a mostly road poopbarn rig?
i remember there was discussion between the pad material nd fins?

If it doesn’t need to be particularly fancy, it’s really hard to beat basic Shimano Deore brakes, especially at internet pricing. A pair is cheaper than a single Klamper caliper.


i wish this bike had a slightly less steep headtube, i probably would have kept it.
