It was time we updated our true pavement-focussed bike from the Vamoots Disc RSL, and a major part of that was hidden cables,’ says Moots brand manager Jon Cariveau. ‘That was the starting point for the CRD.’
Where previously Moots’ round-tubed titanium frames struggled to possess enough space to route things internally, the CRD’s oversized T47 bottom bracket shell provides the necessary space to route a brake hose around the BB. Up front, Chris King’s new AeroSet 3 headset (made in conjunction with Enve) routes brake hoses between its 1.5in top bearing and the fork’s 1.125in steerer tube. This is only technically compatible with the Enve cockpit, however.
