Personal setups » Mark one up for Bianchi

by Firetwofire

First off let me start by saying thanks to everyone that has put up their set-ups on this site. It has been a big help to me in building my setup.

After years of reviews and 1000 of hour’s fine tuning my setup and then going back and readjusting, this is what I have come up with for my touring bike.

This is my 2011 tour divide set-up. It’s a Bianchi Sok 29er fully loaded (including water) I am at 48.625 LBS

-Front rim is a MTB mounted up on a White Industries MI6 hub

-Rear rim is a mavic 719 mounted up on a White Industries MI6 rear hub (built stronger for long distance)

-Front shock is a Rock Shock with a lock-out

-Handel bars are Salsa Wood Chippers with Shimano Ultregra Flight deck dual controls
