Looks great.But with the long cage the chain just WANTS to drop. That's why I was running it short. It mostly just looks funny because that derailleur is meant to take up a much larger range of gearing than it currently is. Shifts fine.

Okay, this is just sort of an experiment. I got some 30mm Kenda Kwick tires and jammed them into my 89 Trek 660.
41x17 freewheel. Seems really low on the flats, but the hills above Tahoe City convinced me otherwise. I think I'll try 39x17.
I took it for a 14 mile up-and-down ride through Burton Creek State Park behind North Lake Tahoe H.S. on Saturday. God, that was fun!

I’m new to the whole cross bike scene, I have raced cyclocross however for the last 15 years. I was usually on a FS bike with the fastest rolling tires I could find. Hopefully I’ll do better this year.
This is a Kuota Kross I just picked up, I have made one trail ride on it on one of the more technical trails that I ride and it did fine with the exception of the horrible front brake shudder. My buddy had some new old stock Avid Tri-align II brakes that I put on and it solve the shuddering problem and it actually stops now
One ride and I’m already upgrading stuff, this sounds like trouble!!!

Thank you!
If u have most of the parts. Do it u wont regret it. I rode a carbon canti cross frame last year and its just no camparison so far. Love the discs and u cant beat a TI frame in looks atleast not in my opinon.
I have a cx disc only fram in ti size 56ish thats arriving in a month, new from factory (not a serotta tho).
Might sell it if it turns out a too small wich i think it will
cheers

tuscanyswe, nice ride. it looks like markjenn's bike who posted a while back.
Hi, it's been raining for a couple weeks here in Seattle and I just can't bear taking my new bike out on wet roads, so I'll post a picture here:
Frame: Everti Odyssey CX butted/shaped Ti, 59cm
Headset: Chris King
Fork: Bontrager Satellite Elite Carbon CX
Front/Rear Derailleurs: SRAM Rival
Shifters/Levers: SRAM Rival
Chain: SRAM
Brakes: Shimano Disk R505
Crankset: Shimano Ultegra SL Compact Double 50/34 175mm
Cassette: SRAM 10-speed 11-28
Seatpost: Thomson Alloy
Saddle: Fizik Arione
Handlebar: FSA Wing Pro Compact Alloy
Tape: Stella Eleganza
Stem: Thomson X2 Alloy
Rims: Velocity Aerohead O/C 32 spoke
Hubs: Shimano XT
Tires: Maxxix Raze
Pedals: Shimano M540 SPD double-sided
Bike rides like a dream, but after you spend this much on a bike, I'm sure anything does. Great service from Everti.
Cheers,
- Mark
