WTD: Post mount road hydraulic brakes and shifters

New project requires some road hydraulic brakes and levers.

A pair of TRP Hylex would be lush.

Post mount.

Shimano or Sram otherwise.

For a singlespeed so shifters don't need to work!

Re: Going full retard - an Everesting journey!

My tips. Find a track that is technically easy to ride up. A decent consistent surface would be good. Don't underestimate the descents.

Good luck :-bd

Re: The post man's been ...

After many years of searching, I am now the proud owner of a Zpacks Hexamid Solo and bathtub floor. From the date on the label, it looks like it was one of the last made before the model was discontinued. A little less room than the Lunar Solo, but a similar vibe. Saves about 300 grams. https://i.im...

Which F+F? - - - 135mm 700c Disc brake

I'm looking for a project frame and fork to be built around a 700c White Industries ENO eccentric wheel.

Has to have 135mm QR dropout and disc brake mounts. Something lightweight and steel ideally.

Any suggestions on which models to look for?

Thanks :grin:

The theory being that at least some of them will make bomber anchors. eg. 3 solid pegs will hold up a Lunar Solo. I heard something recently about a guy who had a geodesic tent that was doin...
