Sorry- just a rehashed example of the random handme down CX build- all works perfecty and handles beautifully off roadCXCommuter wrote:
It only took 20,000+km but my 2012 TCX finally saw off road action. Did the 40 odd km heritage rail trail loop in the hills of Perth. Had a ball, such that I am building a set of cross specific wheels (Novatec hubs and Kinlin XC279's). Apologies on bike condition it is my wet weather bike now and gets hand me downs (front wheel) and random color hoods due to cheap prices.
All original rival running gear.
Would just like lower gearing than 38/27 though (130bcd crankset!!)

Hahahaha - the Crux framesets are certainly bright - there is a yellow/pink one too. I reckon they all look grouse - almost as good as an orange/red Focus Mares!!!
Cannot wait to see it built !

True, but I saw it at the bottom, coming down. I often do that on my CX after some dirt road riding.dalai47 wrote:Too many great dirt roads in the Dandenongs to waste riding the CX bike up the 1 in20!macca33 wrote:Unfortunately, not I .... in Darwin at present.

Contemplated sitting down until I noticed a leech hanging off my bike.
A few obstacles, I'd never been down this track and it made it difficult to make out where I was supposed to be going. There is a fork in the track exactly where this tree fell down and took out the signs.

Looks like you had a blast! Can't wait to get my crux back on the road!danny the boy wrote:First long ride today, I love this bike, bit heavy but so much fun to be on goat tracks on minute and then bombing down a bitumen descent at 65 km/h.

swapped the TCX wheels onto the Threshold (uses a 15mm axle to convert it to QR, so at least i can mix and match wheels if required)

new wheels are 1400g on the dot, which should bring it down around the 7.3kg mark... just waiting for some more CX orientated pedals, then i'll get a final weight.Dirty32 wrote:Hows the weight with the new wheels, Mitchy?
yep! both are great bikes.Cmm wrote:Perfect match I reckon
