Nice looking setup! How hard was it to mount the Specialized Pizza Rack on the Journeyman? And does that mean that you can't use the hex bolts on the front forks for anything else? (It looks like you are using the middle of the three bolts on each side of the fork, but I can't tell if the top of the rack is attached somewhere or not.
I'm also curious to know about your basket and how it attaches. Thanks!

Hey there! Thanks! :D Mounting the pizza rack was very straightforward, each triangle attaches to the middle fork braze-ons and then the fork crown eyelet. You’re right, with the rack attached I can’t really see how you’d utilize either of the other two fork mounts unfortunately. The basket is a classic Wald 137, and it’s attached using zip ties! Makes for a simple and very secure setup, I’ve done some really rough trails and never had any issues, although I do of course have to occasionally retighten the bolts attaching the rack to the bike.

Hi Andrew, Sweet rig! I have a Journeyman with Apex 1 and a 42t chainring and am looking to lower my gearing. Was the raceface Aeffect crankset and team bottom bracket compatible with the frame? Is your race face bottom bracket a BB30? Thanks for the help.

Hey! Thanks! Nice, yeah the Apex gearing is a bit high. The bottom bracket is called their ‘Team’ bottom bracket for 24mm crank spindles. Since the Journeyman has a threaded 68mm bb shell you should basically be able to run any external bb that’s 68/73mm.
