CS-092SL disc brake road bike build
Joelk:
Peter said the max tire size is 28.
I hope I can still fit 28s on the 25mm (17mm inside width) rims I am getting. That will be the first thing I check when the frame arrives.
Vipassana:
I'm very excited to see your build thread. I would like to build one of these frame soon when I have the funds.
Joelk:
Parts are starting to roll in. If anyone wants weights or anything just let me know.
Ultegra cranks, derailleurs, cassette, and Hope hubs
The flat mount road brakes and 160(f)/140(r) rotors
Hopefully the rims ship soon so I can get the spokes ordered, and build them up while I wait, as patiently as I can, for the frame.
carbonazza:
Thank you for the update.
Did you roughly estimate the final weight of the bike?
I thought the Hope hubs were not appropriate for a road bike.
On their website, they do not advertise it as such, may be just for their weight?

No estimate on the weight. I am not going weight weenie on this as I weigh about 215.
I will post the weight of the carbon parts from Peter/xmcarbonspeed.com when I get them, and the final bike weight when done.
This frame uses a 15x100 100x12 front thru axle and a 142x12 rear thru axle so I decided to use the same hubs I use on the MTB as I am comfortable with them and the cost is quite reasonable. I did have to change the freehub to a 11 speed shimano style, which can be done on the newer Hope MTB hubs. I am also going with 32 spokes. That way I can always use the wheels on the MTB with just a freehub change if I ever wanted to. If I really love the road bike I will build some lighter wheels, still with carbon rims from Peter, later.
Edited as the spec on the fork got changed to 100x12. Fortunately Hope has 100x12 endcaps available.
