Brooklynrider:
Is that a warbird? Can't make out the name on the toptube.
Kinchy:
Yeah Salsa Warbird, think it's a 2013 or 2014 model. Photo is shoddy quality, but ENVE forks, Stan's Grails on Shimano CX75 hubs, Shimano CX77 brakes, SRAM Rival 10 speed, Time ATACs, Vredenstein tires for road, Panaracer Cindercross for offroad. It's an amazing do it all bike

That is very similar to the way I have my Salsa set up. I sold all my spare parts and bikes to build a bike that can do it all. This is my touring/slow road bike:

Brooklynrider, how are you getting on with Spyres and Sram levers? All I can find on the internet is speculation and people who think the stock pads are shitty. Is the lever pull decent? I don't like the lever coming all the way to the bars. Also how's the C17?

Spyres have been awesome. Coming from BB7s, these feel a lot stiffer and can be set a LOT closer to the rotor. I can get the lever to have about 5mm of pull before it fully engages. Stock pads are shitty (at least compared to the BB7s) but do the job. The only real problem I've had with spyres is that they are very wide. I was running some older DT 240 hubs before and the caliper kept hitting the spokes. Im on Chris King hubs now and they are still very close but do not hit. You can easily fix the problem with some rotor shims but it was a bit of a pain to get them set up at first. C17 is great. I also own a B17 and prefer the cambium. I have very wide sit bones and I've been through a lot of seats but the cambium is the only one I can ride for a long time. This particular one made it through Africa with me.
