We do not use proprietary parts on our bikes except for the rear derailleur hanger. It might be wise to stick an extra hanger with the order - just in case you'll have a little too much fun.

Are there any proprietary parts on the bike?

No, we do not have fender mounts on the True Grit. There are solutions out there for bikes that are made to be fender-free.

Are there fender mounts on the bike?

No, the True Grit does not have rack mounts. But, we love bike packing, something you should definitely try. We recommend checking out frame bags, top tube bags, saddle rolls and feed bags (for the handlebar) to get the adventure going.

Are there rack mounts on the bike?

Sometimes you can. It depends on few things. The width of the rear hub on the True Grit is 142mm so your rear hub needs to be 142mm wide with 12mm wide thru-axle. In the front you need a 100mm wide hub (which you probably have) and 15mm wide thru-axle. You may be able to swop out end-caps on your front hub but you'll need to check the hub manufacturer for that.

Can I use my road wheelset with 12mm thru-axle on my Anywhere?

The big difference is the fork. The Anywhere is made for mixed terrain with emphasis on tarmac, and therefore has a rigid fork. The True Grit is made for gravel and therefore has the legendary Lauf Grit SL suspension fork - which is like riding on a cloud!
The frame is the same so you can spice up the Anywhere with the Grit SL whenever you feel like it.

What is the difference between the True Grit and the Anywhere?

Maximum allowed weight of rider + bike + luggage is 120kg/265lbs, with the exception of XL bikes that take that number up to 130kg/286lbs.

What is the weight limit for the Lauf bikes?

A Lauf fork is aimed at a specific purpose; to absorb small bumps faster and smoother than any conventional suspension fork, while being almost as light as a rigid fork and completely maintenance-free. The stiction and slow response of conventional suspension forks make them unable to keep up with high-speed input as brilliantly as the Lauf. These traits of the fork make it a perfect match for gravel riding and less technical (classic) XC.

Why a Lauf suspension fork?

In most cases the fork will fit your bike if it's new-ish. There are a few key parameters that need to be checked to quickly assess if the fork fits - you may need to confirm the fit with your bike manufacturer.
- Headtube needs to be tapered - 1 1/8" to 1 1/2" (1 1/4" on the Grit). If you have an oversized (44mm/1 ⅛) headtube you can use a cup.  
- Front hub needs to take 12mm or 15mm thru-axle. Depending on the fork you want.
- Do you have post-mount or flat-mount brakes? All the forks take post-mount (some with adapter) but Grit and Grit SL are made for flat-mount brakes.
- The bearings to go with the fork need to have a 45° angle, top and bottom.
- Rotors should be 160mm on the Grit, Grit SL and JAF forks and no less than 180mm on the TR Boost and Carbonara.
- All hubs are 100mm wide, except on the TR Boost which is 110mm.

Does the fork fit my bike?

Yes you can, but, remember, there is no shame in taking the bike to a dealer for professional assembly. Under Support you'll find videos that help you in the process.
