After 1 year in this configuration (5000km), the bike is still very enjoyable and is the bike I ride the most due to low maintenance cost (components are cheap):
- 2 chain sram 971
- 1 BB Praxis M30
- 1 sora derailleur
- 1 derailleur hanger
- 1 bottom headset bearing
- 1 set of tyres
- 1 set of tri-compound brake pads
- 1 cassette 9speed XT
and I swap the 50T force chairing for a 56T Miche CRONO.
total cost is ~ the cost of the rival derailleur of my CX/Gravel race bike
