Focus Paralane: Drivetrain

Here is a closer look at the drivetrain of the Focus Paralane. It is a mixture of components from different series, but it will all work together.

Ultegra R8000 crankarm, with Wolftooth 38T chain ring. Previously tested successfully on the Fabike C3.

Dura-Ace R9170 rear derailleur. Moved across a few different bikes, such as the Canyon Endurace, Fnhon DB11, etc.

Rust-proof KMC EPT chain for this all-weather bike.

Press-fit bottom bracket

Ultegra CS-R8000 11-32T cassette, for a good 1x11 speed gear range with close spacing for road riding.

Here is the drivetrain! With a mixture of components depending on what I have available...

The left crank arm is a 105 crankarm with power meter, which is relatively cheap. I don't mind the appearance mismatch with the Ultegra right crankarm, as long as the arm length is the same.

Lots of frame clearance for the crank arm power meter, not like the Cervelo Aspero which has much smaller clearance.

There is little clearance between the chain ring bolts and the chain stay. 

Rear hub from the RS770 wheelset

Dura-Ace rear derailleur with Ultegra cassette and KMC EPT chain.

I am pleased with the drivetrain, as it is a pure road drivetrain, which means very little drag compared to the Alfine 11 internal hub drivetrain that I had on the Fabike C3. This would make this bike ride exactly like a road bike, which is my objective.
