I saw that you recently switched out to a Cutthroat and so I was interested to hear about your build and gear choices as I am currently building one up for an a through ride of the GDMBR this summer. Specifically, I'm curious about your drivetrain setup coming from your 3x9 on the Fargo. Also, knowing a few people who have run Jones loop bars on their Fargos I was curious if you had any thoughts on how that type of setup might affect the Cutthroat given the positioning should, in theory, be similar to a drop bar. The main reason I was considering it was for more options with shifters, gear, and bar bag space but perhaps I'm over looking something. Many thanks in advance!scaleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08007820457949805950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535004462323639164.post-46509693944864882482016-04-02T18:09:10.116-07:002016-04-02T18:09:10.116-07:00Thank you.

In this position I am able to use the aero bars very comfortably to alleviate hand discomfort on long days as well as being able to comfortably utilize all hand positions on the Woodchipper bar. I am really not sure how others set up their rides this is just what works for me.Nursekatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328284261990164856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535004462323639164.post-58858585552662699342016-03-29T10:32:32.821-07:002016-03-29T10:32:32.821-07:00Hey Josh!

Reach is almost identical on both sizes but I'm more concerned with stack height. Can you offer any insight or typical guidelines for setting up a Fargo for the tour divide? Particularly, is it common to have top of bars level/even with top of saddle or would a bit of drop (and how much) be better (especially if you ride in the aerobars a lot)?

Probably going to be more like 750 miles.
