Installing Ratio Technology

Has anybody installed the Ratio Technology kit on new SRAM components? I need shifters, chainset (not sure what size), derailleur and cassette (not sure what sizes). They will fit on a Sonder Ti Gravel frame. I don't want to spend the earth if that is possible nowadays. Any advice on gear ratios gra...

Re: Frame bosses (bottle / fork cargo cages)

Just to check, are you meaning the thread size/diameter or the allen key size? As above, I thought all bottle mounts are M5, but with either a 3, 4 or (I think) 5mm allen key head. M5 also handy as it's the same size as a brake rotor bolt in case of loss They are 4mm thread size and the allen key h...

Re: Frame bosses (bottle / fork cargo cages)

It is probably OK but to sell a cargo cage that does not take 5mm bolts is a bit odd.

Re: Frame bosses (bottle / fork cargo cages)

I always thought that but Sonder Ti Gravel frames have 4mm bosses.

I do wonder if this is the case on all of their frames.

I am quite sure that someone has bought a cargo rack before for a frame with 5mm bosses and told them about it.

Frame bosses (bottle / fork cargo cages)

Is there a move towards having 4mm bosses for bottle and cargo cages instead of the traditional 5mm?

I've just bought a cargo cage and it only takes 4mm bolts (slots are too narrow) and only two 4mm bolts have been two provided.

Also no washers.

I have purchased and received delivery of a titanium gravel frame from a major cycle supplier. Unfortunately the frame specification online and the one offered by their advisors is not the same as the frame specification of frames delivered. The carbon fork I wanted has through hole in the crown to ...

Advice sought building a gravel bike.

Good evening. I’m thinking of getting a gravel / adventure bike. I want to be able to go for short forest rides but also multiple day trips in the wilds. I’ve looked at the Sonder Camino Titanium frame and it seems to meet most of my requirements. Unless I get one custom made it will never be 100% w...
