2013 Ibis Hakkalügi DISC!! wow ....
Moderator: Moderator Team
It's beautiful and I love the white/black look. It's also quite clean. Too bad there's not through-axle (just joking).
It's a bit over-done with the front der pulley but if there's not top pull option you need this, it'll just catch much and mud. Why not see if there's a MTB option?

Does the angle of the front derailleur cable get in the way at all?
Frans,
The wheels weighed just over advertised weight, right around 1470 grams I believe. I have put around a 1000 miles on them (mostly dirt/gravel roads) running Bontrager CX0s, (38f/34r) and am thoroughly impressed.
The photo makes the front D cable look like it's way out there, but in actuality it's not. I wanted to take advantage of the capability of the Yaw feature, hence the road derailleur with the Umlenker installed (which is great, btw).
The bike is perfect for what I wanted; a ride that will predominantly be used for fast gravel/dirt road, have the ability to handle light trails, and be able to keep up on the occasional paved group ride. I still need to do some tweaking yet, but it is already my go to bike!

If Chris Froome did MTB...

Haha. We'll see how cobbles suit him this next tour.
