Thank you.</p> <p>I just have put an order in for my first MOOTS frame. A Psychlo X YBB. I want to cycle dirt road epics, long distance on road and gravel (supported touring and racing in Africa and Asia) and some mountain climbing. Probably no single trails.</p> <p>My whole build follows the 3 principles:<br /> 1. Most durable<br /> 2. Most reliable<br /> 3. Weight + Easy to service on the road</p> <p>So far I have the Psychlo X YBB frame (on order), Moots stem and seat post, BB7 disc brakes, brooks saddle, handlebars and wheelset(DT SWISS TK540 with Hope hubs).</p> <p>What do you guys think which fork would be better?<br /> A) Salsa La Cruz Cyclocross Fork 700c<br /> Durable, reliable but heavy steel fork.<br /> From my Charge Plug and my surly LHT I know the steel fork has a bit of flex which helps with fatigue, hurting wrists over multiple days in the saddle.</p> <p>B) 3T Luteus Team Cyclocross Carbon Fork Disc tapered - seems to be the fork a few of you have used. Will it be too stiff?<br /> Is it durable enough (crashing etc)</p> <p>C) other disc fork?</p> <p>Groupset: I thought about Ultegra first, but I really like the SRAM Red on my Cannondale roadie. Also the the wifes roadie and the MTB have SRAM. So far they all heve shifted very nicely.<br /> Therefore I was contemplating to go SRAM red 2012 39/52 with WiFLi RD 11-32, apparently shifts even nicer than my old Red 2010.<br /> Is red the most durable and reliable? Sorry guys no Campy for me.<br /> Red?<br /> Force?<br /> DA?<br /> Ultegra?</p> <p>What are your experiences with forks and groupos?</p> <p>Thanks<br /> Hillclimber </p>
