Questions for 3t Strada 1x Frame
Moderator: robbosmans
Hi,
The short 3T Strada seatpost is with its 239g on the heavy side to be political correct. Anyone knows a lighter option, carving off 100g?
And has anyone found a direct mount solution for the 3T Starda frame or can support with a 3D drawing?
Thanks and happy riding

Does anybody know if there's any reason I can't cut the seatpost that I have? I didn't realize there were multiple sizes and the one I have is too long. I need to shave about 2" off mine.
Regarding the OP, I'd be interested too...I haven't even finished building mine and I hate the seatpost head on this. Would gladly buy another one with a micro adjust top.

or better yet, translate the existing 'minimum seatpost insertion' length to the cut seatpost length to be even safer.

That's what I would do- maybe throw a black sharpie line 2" up from the min insertion after I cut 2" off. I just found it surprising that they offer multiple lengths for what I thought was a pretty standard procedure- make a big post, cut off what you don't need.

No but also maybe yes. The head tube is very narrow at the top for the strada. The cables exit behind the headtube and wrap around. I can't imagine any way to route a cable by the stem/upper headset. That doesn't mean you couldn't use the vision metron system, but I can't see how you could route cables in the headtube.
Personally, I like the "semi-integrated" design. It gives me a little more freedom to change things up/modify when needed, but not have to disassemble and fully reassemble each time. The ultra-aero bikes are awesome, but I like that I can swap my stem on the strada without bleeding brakes and buying new hoses.

I think it is possible I allow to bend a little the cable to make an internal routing.

And personnaly, I'm crazy about the clean style of all integrated aero bike.
