Does anybody use standard thru axle instead of speed release? Looking for additional axle for trainer.

Get some spares axles from VB for the trainer.

Stupid question, is 30mm spacer height safe for this fork (comes with 15+10+5 right)? Including the bottom headset cover it is 45mm. It is a bit above enve and below whisky recommendations. Also, using a micro spacer above the stem would be stupid right? I'm probably paranoid, lol.

Personally i would use a longer expander plug than the one that comes with the frame (i would do that anyways) and it's probably fine. Don't think they'd ship the frame with that many spacers if it was unsafe to ride. Using a spacer on top of the stem so the stem can grip the fork steerer all the way is probably a good idea. Might not be as aesthetically pleasing as you will have to use a round topcap.

Hello guys !
My shimano 105 mechanical front derailleur comes with a cable stopper . Should I run the hose all the way to derailleur and remove the frame cable stopper ?

Thank you !
