What brand rack was that you used? Did it hold up well?

[@WeRideSouth]

I just used a random Ibera rack off Amazon. It held up great and I still use it to this day. I would definitely recommend it over the tail bag.

[@jalapenoontrail872]

@@WeRideSouth yes I have a bag and like you said it swags. And I was looking at the ones off of Amazon and curious as to how it holds up. Thank you

How's the carbonda been riding on the gravel? I'm planning on getting one built up with a Sram Force Etap/ GX Eagle 10x52 42 tooth chainring mullet build.

[@WeRideSouth]

The Carbonda has been fantastic. My only real gripe is that the brake cable does not have an internal housing in the frame so it can rattle around inside the frame. When you build yours up make sure you secure it before you put in your BB.

[@WeRideSouth]

P.s. Let me know how your build turns out!

[@KnobleKnives]

@@WeRideSouth Thanks for the info! I’ll toss some zip ties on the cables before I route them through the frame. Thankfully, with the wireless etap thing, the only cable I’ll need to route is the hydraulic brake line to the rear brakes. As soon as I land a job here in France, I’ll be saving to get the parts. Once that happens, I’ll make a whole video on the build! It’ll be my first bike build ever 😁.

@@KnobleKnives awesome! I look forward to watching it.

Hey Andrew how are the TRP Spyre brakes working for you? Been trying to find the Spyre-C but they are so hard to come by.

What size tires are you running ? Also I run a 42 x 11x42 rear. What is your rear gearing?

[@WeRideSouth]

I believe I was on the Gravel King Sks 35C. Rear was 11x42
