        I have a Moots Baxter which is more drop bar mountain bike as it can take 2.3 tyres.  I am running mine with crossmax mountain bike wheels.  Using a hybrid Di2 system with Grx levers paired with an XT mtb rear mech.  Works nicely and can be configured via the Shimano software, I am running mine with upshifts on both left hand levers and downshifts on the right hand levers.

        There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.

                I did my first ever gravel ride yesterday. Resolved about 5 miles in that I needed a real gravel bike! Thinking about doing a custom build on a Crust Evasion. Anyway, some shots:

                    I've got a Crust Evasion in the works from a semi-local shop. Meanwhile I'm already accessorizing with a new bag from Ronnie Romance:

                        @Brock This rig is dialed! Ronnie Romance would approve. How do you find the Fabio's Chest? Bounce factor negligible with that front rack? I have always had my eye on one.

                          The weather is shifting to board sports, but still jonesing for two wheels.

                            @dsco thank you. It’s even more dialed now days I think…

                            The Fabio’s chest is definitely the IH of the bike bag world. And with a rack for support is solid. However when fully loaded and riding on the rough stuff I do worry about my carbon fork! 😬

                            Here’s a couple recent pics of my smeltzer

                              Some really nice bikes! Here’s my Richard Sachs cross bike used as my gravel grinder.

                                @Brock those purple accents 🙌🙌. You weren't kidding, that is dialed. Looks like some beauty landscape to explore as well!

                                  @dsco thanks man! I’m pretty happy with it lately. One of my favorite things about bikes is how they can be ever evolving…

                                  How are you liking those supper yummys? I love everything that Simworks does.

                                  The cavas that I’m running currently are great on pavement and gravel but a little squirrely on hard packed dirt and loamy surfaces

                                    Very cool frame! And I dig the Paul Cantilevers!
                                    I’ve been eying those for my wife’s Bridgestone

                                          @Brock oh man, the tinkering never ends, which is part of the fun too! The super yummy's have been fantastic all around. So much so that I will getting a set for my more single track focused rig when the stock recons run their life cycle. And as you said, I just love what sim works does. Fun to support outfits like that!
