>>2033317>I'm looking to buy a titanium seatpost but I'm having second thoughts because there's still a risk of corrosion with cromo steel.can't say that i have even ever seen a titanium seatpost more than a couple times and i have seen a lot of bikes. I think that probably means that it is not a good material for seatposts and i don't care to look it up and read autism at the moment but i know that is the prevailing attitude towards titanium forks so maybe it's the same.
what is the corrosion risk? Is it anything beyond dissimilar metals? Because the usual galvanic corrosion between alluminium and steel is really a nonissue if you're not a totally neglectful shithead with your bike. A 10 second wipe and grease every year will keep it at bay.
Just get a shiny aluminium one. Personally i like the cheap one bolt type.
>polished steel rack.buy a tubus one from germany bro. They are the best. Your brakes luckily do not marr a rack whatsoever so the classic designs will work well for you.
The dual rail design of your current rack is actually quite good. But racks like that designed to be flatpacked cannot be as stiff/good as one piece racks and even what surly does with adjustable lowers is imo quite bad.
You could also go for a total meme rack the mega light svelte ones they do. In Ti even.
>idk where to put my water bottles and I'm afraid to use the mounts on the carbon fork.your fork doesn't even have bottle cage bosses, does it? Looks to me like just a midfork boss. On one hand you'd think that means it's rated to be loaded with ~10kg of front pannier load. But I wouldn't clamp to a carbon fork. Get lowriders? Zip tie baskets on them.
Clamp a bottle cage under your downtube.
