First gravel build project

<< < (3/3)

FullCarbonAlchemist:
The thing I really appreciate about Sword is that the shifters are designed specifically for flared gravel bars so you get a good hand angle and flat tops to rest your palms on even when the shifters themselves are canted in line with the flare.

That’s a big difference from my first gravel bike that came with tiny little Tiagra shifters that are obviously meant for zero/low flare road bars and frequently hurt my hands on longer rides.

Fenrir:
So I ordered a GR048 from Tantan, let's hope my paint scheme doesn't turn out to be complete crap ;D

I'm currently in the process of sourcing all the others parts for the build.

For the BB I went with this one, I hope it's compatible and of good quality... https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005005859085280.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.41.21ef5e5bAddqXH&gatewayAdapt=glo2fra

For the crankset, I'd like to buy a 2nd hand GRX but it seems hard to find. Do you have any recommendation for some chinese crankset of decent quality ? Looking for gravel 1x 40T. Thanks

vknez:
I got those Kactus and they are not good. Tolerance bad just from start. Ordered new one from different manufacturer. Will see how it will turns out.
