Ryan opted for a 1x setup on his Montana bound Strada Fango, along with some fat knobby 27.5x2.1 tires.
The Pacenti MTB crown easily clears the fat tires up front, and the cables are neatly routed along the fork and into the down tube.
Out back a Shimano XT Di2 rear derailleur handles the shifting on this 11x46t cassette.
My custom flat mount, thru-axle fork keeps the front end solid. Fender mounts added too if Ryan ever wants to run some skinnier tires and fenders.
Anything cage mounts on both sides of the fork make this bike ready for a bikepacking adventure at any time.
This bike is going to look awesome with some mud on it!
I never thought my Radioactive Yellow would look so nice with a silver seatpost!
Paragon flat mount dropouts keep the rear end nice and tidy. Some extra eyelets allow for rack or fender mounting down the road…
Internal brake line exits the down tube and runs down the chainstay. If you look close you can see my nicely curved chainstay bridge with a fender mount as well.
It took a while to get this flat mount setup perfected, but it really works well.
