Maybe this info is out there, but I've searched and can't find it in one thread.
And I'm starting pretty low on the knowledge curve.....
Me: old roadie. I like Campy. 8-speed! Woo-hoo.
Interested in building up a gravel bike.. new frame with thru-axle.
I "get" the idea of disc brakes... tire width clearance ++
So what are my options in terms of drivetrain...
SRAM? what is there product line-up? I looked at their website... info overload over there.
Shimano?
And disc brakes.. mechanical vs. hydraulic?
I a DIY wrencher. Looking at the service manual for SRAM hydraulic, it looks like a nightmare.
Thoughts, opinions, product recommendations?
All welcome. Thanks!
