I had combine parts for touring cycle.
(Sram red lever, Sram Xo derailleurs,FSA K-force crank,Cane creek thudbuster ST seatpost,AVID BB7 ROAD disk brakes.)
I have traveled accumulate 1000 km. It's works great. Handleing and absorb road bumping is excellent.Especially downpull type front derailleur cable route is really really great.
No inside cable route trouble. BB30 bb shell chain line is OK, Shifting is really excellent.Especially downpull type front derailleur cable route is really really great! (I love it!)
All good, but there is some minor issues.
First. This is disk brakes frame cycle cross, so I try to use avid bb7 ROAD brake. but brake pad lever id slightly touch the frame. But cutting out a little bit of pad lever will solve a problem.(I did)
Second. I make this bike for touring. So I put 700x40C road tyre. Front fork clearance is OK but rear seat stay tube clearance is really tight.
It's rolling well. But If I ride in mud road it'll be problem.
Third. The head set came with no carbon compress parts.And no spear hose clamp parts.
That's all ,and for a while , it will be my every day bike.
