A couple of other questions I have:
Does anyone know the seatpost clamp size? I wanted to upgrade to a Hope collar with the integral cable guide for the dropper post. I originally ordered a 34.9 but, when my friend tried it on the bike, it came up too small. He sent it back for me and exchanged it for a 36.4 but this is apparently also too small!
I plan to, in slow time, replace the drivetrain with M8000 Shimano XT, as the current mix of Shimano and SRAM (not to mention the scuffed cranks!) irks my OCD. I’ve ordered up a 40/30/22 chainset and corresponding front mech, as the weight difference between the triple and double was negligible. I’m now wondering, however, as the front mech appears to bolt to a fixed point rather than being a band that can slide up and down the seat tube, will it be able to swing high enough to reach and clear the outer chainring?
