If you just use the stock 5800 crankset (whether double or single chainring), you will get chain drop. That is why I used Wolftooth chainrings.tylstevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202331639299348481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932426191875887596.post-60601150602741591902019-03-08T18:00:24.279+08:002019-03-08T18:00:24.279+08:00I have now a better understanding of what componen...I have now a better understanding of what components to use, thanks to your crius build reference. Makes me wonder if buying the frame from the Philippines would be ideal. Anyway, is the Wolftooth a chainring a personal preference or will the 5800 crankset be good enough? 808jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09621659147158336613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932426191875887596.post-57534303697518824882019-03-08T14:48:13.348+08:002019-03-08T14:48:13.348+08:00You can follow the component spec used on the Criu...You can follow the component spec used on the Crius AEV20. that is a 1x11 speed setup.

Your work with the Boardwalk has fascinated me and perhaps a 1x11 setup, despite cost,would be my goal. I don't intend to use a drop bar and I'm going for the 2019 Tern P10 setup. My stock transmission is a Kinetix forged aluminum 170mm with SRAM twist shifter and neos 2.0 RD for 8 speeds. Will the new road Shimano 105s or 105-5800 work with a mountain bike shifter for flat bars? Please assist. 808jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09621659147158336613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932426191875887596.post-87997480919528586602019-03-07T23:37:08.972+08:002019-03-07T23:37:08.972+08:00Changing to smoother and better tires such as the ...Changing to smoother and better tires such as the Kojak will help. Not sure if the handlepost can be upgraded as it looks different. For crankset, it is not so straightforward as a front single crankset will need narrow wide chainring or a chaingusrd to prevent chain drop. I would use a Shimano road crankset with Wolftooth narrow wide chainring, but that setup might cost more than your bike. And you will need Hollowtech II bottom bracket (68mm road threaded). tylstevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202331639299348481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932426191875887596.post-8864201116644304172019-03-07T18:45:29.058+08:002019-03-07T18:45:29.058+08:00C7 makes sense due to the q link handlepost.

Rather than focusing on the handle post I feel upgrading the transmission first will be optimal. This bike is lighter, faster, and has better components than my Giant Expressway 1.
