New Gravel Frame Ican Graro

[fnkymnky]

I just received all parts for my Graro build in silver grey fade. Plan was to build it up with Ultegra FC-R8100 2x 50/34, but it just won't fit. Without spacers, as recommended by the instructions of the Praxis t47 IB bottom bracket, the chainrings are contacting the frame / chainstay. With spacers on the drive side, the chainrings have enough space, but then the left crank arm can not be put on all the way...
Since I read a few posts about 2x working fine, is it crankset specific or what am I missing?

I would contact Ican, it looks like they they fitted a 105 to Graro in the picture.

I fitted a 50-34 with a rotor 3d chainset and power2max PM, that has a chain line of 43.5 so I've added 6mm of spacers although I think I could get away with 4mm.

I was also able to fit 52-36 chainrings but there the height of the front derailleur was a couple of mm to low so I bought one of these adapters to give me the height I need as I intend to use the Graro for road time trials over the summer.

I reached out to Ican and got a quick reply and you are right, only the latest generation 105 crankset from the Shimano Road Crankset portfolio will work apparently.
Should have just calculated it before, but the 86mm (or 85,5) BB Shell + the 2mm per side from the BB adds up to 90mm width. And since the Ultegra Axle lengt between crankarms is just 90mm there is no room to put additinal spacers. Now I am undecided if I will go with GRX after all or try with the 105.

I would not worry about that. Looks like a paint chip to me (bad paint prep???). Too bad it's such a visible place

Finally my frame come to me 10days before estimate shipping. From EU warehouse. Dont like the hologram color of logos but who cares.

Weight 8.12kg without SPD. Not bad, specially if I use 10-52 cassette.. RED with powermeter, 180/160mm brakes wit RH4+ calipers and 45x700c tires.

Looks great!! How easy was it to align the rx4+ calipers? I read a lot of people are having trouble to get them noise free. Was also thinking on upgrading to them

SO, long story short. I bought Graro with integrated handlebar, but lost some of the spacers. Are there any compatible spacer available on AliExpress?

Hey, did anyone of You tried to assembly Your Graro to wahoo kickr core? Have You had any issue doing it? Im having issue when im screwing rear axle to the cassette its stop moving backward (chain doesnt work properly, it locks on cassete). It looks like the adapter it came with is too small (142mm). Im using sram apex axs and HG cassette

Take a photo how it looks without mounted frame. The cassette and spacers.

 I had my graro in tacx 3t without problems.
