    Bosch drive and min/max gear ratio parameters

    I finally managed to get the stuff and most importantly the time to change the chainring. As a side note, while working with the crank puller I also took the other crank off, opened the plastic case (three T20 torx screws) and tightened the three 13mm nuts at the end of the bolts that hold the...

    Hello world.

    Regarding Reaction, are you sure you don't want the better parts that Race level offers? The XT 11-42 cassette alone is worth 80€ if you feel like upgrading later, and also the Race's RockShox Recon Silver with air spring (vs Suntour and coil of Pro) is a nice upgrade.

    Bosch drive and min/max gear ratio parameters

    I'm looking into having easier unassisted climbing (that's just how I roll, I'm not interested in losing a tiny bit at the fast end nor do I care about tuning the drive to assist faster) with my Performance Line CX equipped bike. The bike now has a 15t chainring/sprocket and XT 11-42 in the...
