Cycle about 60 miles per week to work. Got knackered Boardman. Just bought new rings, cassette, chain to get it working again.
Tried a Disco briefly in Sheffield. Liked the feel of it a lot. But didn't buy it.
Today it's got £200 off down to £799. I've selected the wide bars and the short stem and stuck it in the basket. But still haven't checked out.
WHat's wrong with me.... I guess I know a CX is s silly idea for a grity muddy 12.5 mile commute. I Should really buy a Alfine Genesis.
Bt lets be honest, the Disco will ride tons better.
give me the push I need
I have one. It rides well. Surprisingly capable off road. Mine cost a lot more than 800!
Also good with 28mm road tyres too
That Mike Hall chap did ok on one, riding round the world in 90 odd days.
I bought a frame when they were brand new and alfined it. Persisted with it for a year. Now running cx1. Magical.
I have one as a 1x10 flat bar commuter using 28mm tyres. Is great!
Mate has an alfine equipped genesis, its nice. But it does feel heavy at the back.
i have a DD with stans 240 wheels and 105/ultegra mechs. it's great but i hardly use it tbh.
one thing you must do is bin off the stupid pulley wheel thing for the front mech and get a cx70 top pull front mech. much much better.
What's the widest tyres you can fit in one?
It went around the world in record time under Mike Hall.
Amazing price.
