Ibis has had this for 5+ years with the Hakka MX. A CX bike that can take wider tires and has a slightly lower BB.

I've taken a similar approach, with an Open U.P.P.E.R. - it works perfectly as an endurance road bike, training bike, gravel bike or anything I've tried in the year I've had it. I'm not sure I want to get rid of all my other bikes, but this one does everything for me. (apart from being able to commute on it and lock it outside!). Gearing - I think 2x and a decent 12s cassette is probably the sweet spot, rather than 1x. Eventually I think I'll settle on 2 or 3 wheelsets for the different uses: 28mm (GP5000TL perhaps) for fast road /endurance; 40mm ish for more gravel-focused riding, and perhaps 650x50 ish for proper offroad.

Good to know. Heard those Open UPPER's are pretty versatile.

Tried the one bike to do it all but I found swapping wheels was complicated. It took a long time to adjust the disc brakes between the two wheel sets. And this was between the latest gen Zipp 404 and 303.

Swap out rotors and cassette. It helps with the brake rub if you keep the same setup with the same pads. You can also get new pads and rotors at the same time if that helps.

@@Veloworthy Good advice. I spent 5k on a dedicated gravel bike just to avoid all that. But if thats not an option this video is helpful.

I still prefer to have a committed roadie. That Crux with Sram red group and pathfinder tires is pretty close to a do it all bike though. such a sexy bike

With the right kind of wheels and tires, it can get pretty close to a road bike. Stay tuned!

Have 2010 rim brake jamis supernova CX bike that can take up to 40mm gravel tire down to road tires. It is my general use outdoor bike, not just a race bike.

How would you compare ride quality between your Cannondale SUPERX and Crux?
@Veloworthy
Жыл бұрын
The Crux is more of an all-around bike, while the SUPERX was more cyclocross focused. Although people have converted their SUPERX to more of a gravel bike.

@@Veloworthy there is something highly contradictory in a minimalist cyclist that has such an expensive bike. But if that makes you happy…
