Positioning
The Mini-Max sits between the Cargo and Mini: a shorter wheelbase than the Cargo for more normal handling, with slightly less stability under heavy loads.
Closed: Tuesday 27 October through Sunday 1 November. Please note: the workshop is from now on also closed on Thursdays.

Everything you need to know about the Omnium Mini-Max
How the component works, which specifications matter and what to watch for when choosing. From the basics to the details real bike nerds care about.
Tyres55 mm (2.15") front and rear
A supple, lightly treaded tyre suits fast tarmac miles; loose terrain needs more grip and volume. Tubeless or hookless labels are compatibility requirements, not styling choices. Width, model, pressure and frame clearance must all agree.
Axles15x100 mm front, 12x142 mm rear thru-axle
Axle diameter, spacing and wheel size must match frame and fork. This is not a free performance choice. Upgrades need approved interfaces; cargo wheel sizes cannot simply be replaced by road wheels.
Wheels (Apex build)DT Swiss G1800, 700c/29", aluminium, max 130 kg per wheel
Axle diameter, spacing and wheel size must match frame and fork. This is not a free performance choice. Upgrades need approved interfaces; cargo wheel sizes cannot simply be replaced by road wheels.
Drivetrain optionsSRAM Apex 1x11; Shimano Alfine 8 + Gates CDX belt; Shimano Deore 1x11
More gears can give smaller steps but do not tell you how easy climbing will be. Climbers and loaded riders should consider the lowest gear; fast flat-road riders cadence steps and the highest gear.
CockpitOmnium Riserbar, LW Stem, Lock-On Foam Grips, Forged Seatpost
Bar width, stem length and adjustment shape grip, position and control. An aggressive position can support speed only if you can sustain it comfortably. For long rides and commuting, fit comes first; integrated parts can offer less adjustment.

Tyre, rim and frame must fit as a combination. Mounted tyre width can differ from the sidewall size. Thomas checks clearance and the exact version before assembly.
