Touring/gravel with 2x

[Grant Fondo]

Which is why I recommended the new steel or aluminium versions- more mounting points/greater capacity. Though I wouldn't hesitate to take my Terra C on a multi-week bikepacking trip. And there are options besides 52/36 and 50/34 (I have a 46/30 with an 11-42 cassette, good for most things). This was a 5 day trip. I wouldn't need much more for a multi-week. Maybe add some fork bags (and perhaps buy the fork with mounting points used on the steel and aluminium versions). Or I could just tow a trailer if really heavily loaded.

I'm kinda glad the child scrotes in my old neighbourhood nicked my felt CX bike- the Orro is soooo much better

Hmmm. I wonder what the bike industry's motivation for this might be ...

And @rivers tells us his carbon Orro is cracking! That's worrying.

His…?

His…?

Deep shame on me for assuming.

I'm sorry.

In a good way😉. And no offense taken, so shelve the deep shame

Yeah, to be fair my Boardman's been fine too.. however it seems they've not been without their problems and from an engineering perspective I'd take a traditional threaded BB in preference every single time without a second thought.

They have been an absolute boon for Token, they must be selling loads of their retro fit non squeaky screw in BBs for press-fit designed frames.
