The Salsa Fargo is a bit unique in that it is ready to accommodate not only a Rohloff Hub, but also the Gates Carbon Belt drive. With its split frame option, you can get the belt drive on without costly frame mods.

I have a Thorn Raven Tour with a Rohloff Hub 13 Years riding and still going strong ;) the Gates drive wow

@BradBeaird 3 года назад

Rohloff seems to really be dependable.

@jugglematt100 4 года назад

At first i thought it was a new bike , i diddent know you could swap out a chain drive system for a belt drive system. Good one , i seem to go through chains quite regularly as we have sand on our cycle paths . Thanks for the info . Looking foward to hearing to 1000km review. Matt

@BradBeaird 4 года назад

As time goes on we will do some reviews on how it’s working.

@trillium9992 Год назад

Just built a Fargo with an Alfine 8, belt drive, and drop bar setup. So far it works great! I tried a flat bar, but the reach was so short that it hurt my back.

@vlodek-193 3 года назад

"Bike porn" - even the music at the beginning would fit 😅 GREAT GOODS! I would also add a SON hub dynamo, Edelux 2 front lamp and SON Rear Light to the set. The fenders wouldn't hurt either;) Greetings from Poland!

Awesome bike, esp. with the Rohloff and Gates carbon belt drive. I waited too long to buy a Fargo on Craigslist. Woman rode it only a few times for training and then a race. $700 for a like-new Fargo, probably the same year as yours because it was the same color, was a steal. Still kicking myself for losing that one. Again, awesome bike. 👍

@BradBeaird 3 года назад

Yeah its a great bike. $700 would have been a steal, haha.

Thru-axle Rohloff available (with 'special' adapter) per www.rohloff.de/en/products/speedhub/speedhub-variations. If one can be had for a good price as QR, I say go for it but a new purchase (at least for me) will be 148 boost with disc brake machining. Love the purple - mine is tiger beetle green/blue and I like it too.

I just bought a 2013 salsa Fargo 2, love it.... but trying to get it as comfortable as possible... selle anatomica seat helps a lot. I’m looking at getting some handlebars that will allow me to sit up in a comfortable position and ride for long rides... but love aero bars as they make a huge difference when to be to aerodynamic

@BradBeaird 4 года назад

I've got a Selle Anatomica on my ECR now and so far I like it fairly well.

@robventures785 Месяц назад

What length belt did you go for for the 20t and 46t combo? Assuming you have a medium?

@BradBeaird Месяц назад

It is a medium frame and the Gates Belt part # is 11M-115T-12 CTS in Black :)

@philhunt1442 Год назад

Hey! This is awesome! I'm trying to build my own Rohloff IGH combo but I'll be running a 45.5 belt line. I noticed you've got a 46t(?) chainring on this and was wondering if you think you could fit a 39, or maybe even a 42 on the front with non boost spacing? Was wondering if you knew or could possibly space it out before I buy the parts and try to space it out in person?

@stephenrrf 4 года назад

You need the Gebla Rohbox gets rid of the twist shift. And the Gates iPhone app to get the belt tension correct. In practice they will run slacker than Gates recommend.

@BradBeaird 4 года назад

Gebla Rohbox looks interesting. Are you or anyone you know using it currently?

@stephenrrf 4 года назад

@@BradBeaird Hi Brad, yes, I switched my bike from the rotary Rohloff control which I thought was really awkward to the Gebla box. Cinq do one too. I can send you pictures, and I know all about fitting it. It's done maybe 3000 miles now and the whole setup has been completely reliable. I built the bike for long distance touring - on the road - not on trails. But I also use it every day here in Bristol, England. it's possible here of course to put the bike on the train for longer distance trips - because there are trains and travel everywhere without using a motor vehicle. I'm not sure though how to attach pictures - I rarely use RU-vid

@kentjefferies723 4 года назад

Hey Brad where did you purchase those accessories sitting on your handle bar where the bell sits on & above that level also. what do you call those accessory bits? thanks Kent

@BradBeaird 4 года назад

That's a handlebar extension purchased on amazon. Here's a link: amzn.to/2zTDi8u with a bell and a cell phone holder like this: amzn.to/2VVUPFC

@boots90210 4 года назад

I've got a Fargo with gates drive and Rohloff. Only just got it set up. Have you played with the belt tension at all Brad? I've read you can reduce the drag from the belt if you drop the tension, but I'm reluctant to try it in case I mess it up.

@BradBeaird 4 года назад

Belt tension was setup by the LBS and hasn’t really been changed. I would be like you and afraid I would mess it up.

@jeremymitchell8470 Год назад

any long term feedback on this bike? I’m looking to possibly get a Fargo/Rohloff for a commuter/bikepacker.

@BradBeaird Год назад

Long term feedback is it has been great. No real issues, just one oil change on the Rohloff. Otherwise, has been a really nice and reliable setup.

@drdomestos 4 года назад

This bike would have been better with an eccentric bottom bracket rather than the horizontal (sliding) bottom bracket to handle chain/belt tension. On this bike, if you remove the rear wheel to fix a puncture, you will need to re-tension the belt drive correctly when you replace the wheel. With an EBB this would not be a concern.

@BradBeaird 4 года назад

True. But really the tensioning is pretty easy.

@drdomestos 4 года назад

@@BradBeaird Cool - I'd just read that the Carbon drive belt can be a bit fussy about tension....

@BradBeaird 4 года назад

Yeah I think it’s a bit overstated perhaps, but you kind of get a “feel” for it I think. There are a few people running them pretty loose (which isn’t recommended) to help with reducing resistance a bit (cyclingabout guy) but I don’t think I would try that just yet haha.
