The Lauf fork would be great for this bike but a bit pricey
The Lauf would be an awesome fork for sure! I’d consider changing out the Pepperoni but I try to maintain the original spec wherever possible on my builds.
Yes ,. Leaf are great for gravel bikes I suspect
Straight pull brake levers don't work that great with v brakes.
Agreed! I had a spare pair of the micro brifters and thought I would try them - actually work not bad until proper ones come along.
@@johnsbikerestorations You can use Mini-V-Brakes. They work better with Road Brakelevers. Dont know if they have enough tire clearnce though.
@@GuitaristOfEvil There are V brake travel converters available that I have been wanting to try which I understand will convert the pull from 10mm to 5mm - will be interesting to see if they work.
