Hi all,
Trying to get my head around how I can do this at the lowest possible cost:
Building my first TT bike on a budget frame, I’d like to use an etap 1x setup if possible.
Now, I’d like to save money and use Shimano cranks, because I already own Shimano power meters, so when I go outdoors on my TT bike I can just swap one off a road bike, rather than buy another power meter.
I’m thinking:
- whatever Shimano cranks I can get at the correct length (165) even if it’s just the right hand crank (I have spare left hands, and will be swapping for power meter).
- a 1x chainring (diamond, d2z etc.)
- sram “aero” etap TT 1x groupset
Now... is there a way I can use all my wheels from my shimano groupsetted bikes? Can I somehow get a 12 speed cassette on these wheels? Or is there a totally better way around this?
(Setting up di2 with one deraillieur, 2 handlebar blips and tt pole shifters is quite expensive and involves a lot of cabling)
