The bross Zenith is not as expansive as Winspace :

https://www.uaecycle.com/products/bross-zenith-6i-105-di2-carbon-road-bike?variant=44507055194330

Although, I don't know if this site is legit.

Seka will have a hard time too in Europe to sell this frame without after sale support behind.

Uaecycle is legit, but bross will have their own distribution in a matter of weeks.

Makes perfect sense foreign markets arent a huge priority, the chinese market is booming

The Kactus rotors are pretty good. I'm using them on both my road and gravel bike. I'm also using Onirii rotors on another frame, but I think the Kactus bites a bit better due to more rotor surface. I also ditched my Ice Tech rotors. Unless you get the black Dura Ace rotors, the silver Ultegra rotors always end up looking like s**t.

Hello, could you provide a link to the kactus rotors and the onirii ones because the latter has different models. I was looking at zrace rotors but I heard they feel warm out of the box, so I don’t want to waste my money or time with these.

Component Deals & Selection / Re: Awesome Pricing on Rival Drivetrain Stuff

Both right shifters but with long and short hoses. Right shifter with front caliper is a pretty strange combination though.
A couple threads on ww and some comments on Reddit mentioned that flat top SRAM chains are different and without those shifting isn't optimal. Same with cassettes. Although one person vehemently denied having any issues with shifting using Shimano cassette.
I'll play safe and stick to everything SRAM the 12s stuff is sensitive as it is.

I'm confused. For the SRAM Rival AXS shifters it's listing them both as right hand. Is that an error? Also do I have to run the SRAM crank and chain? Can I run a regular 12 speed chain and crankset instead? Tempted to try this out!

Looks nice but a bit heavy.

What's the price and incl shipping to the EU?

Also bottom bracket, etc? Is it possible to have it without the rebbits?

Your BB instructions are for MTB splindles.
Cant find you crank specs but I assume it have a road spindle (shorter than mtb). So, you should use 1 spacer.

Yes, I've seen these LB rims. As the huge Nextie Rims they are a bit on the expensive side. So I was looking for sth. more reasonable.
May I ask how tall you are? I'm undecided between 56 and 58. I'm 6.0ft (184/88cm).
Yeah, they are definitely not the cheapest rims. Maybe I should also consider others!

I'm 180cm and I was definitely struggling to choose between the 54 and 56. The 58 is huge though, do you need the extra toe clearance?

I did a lot of calculations and concluded that just like with the saddle position, I would have some room to play with in terms of stack and reach on 56, and I would most likely not have to worry about toe overlap.
Since the STA is the same for both (edit: 56 and 58 are the same, not 54 and 56), the saddle position should be irrelevant for this choice and you can focus on getting the stack and reach numbers you want, and the front center you need to avoid overlap.

Btw. They measured the internal fork with for me which is supposed to be 53mm. I didn't ask about the rear clearance. But since the frame has a dropped chainstay 48mm could fit (But with the nextie rims ... I'm not so sure  ;D).

Nice, I tried to get them to do measurements with no luck. Yeah maybe the best option is to go for a nominally smaller tire with the really wide rim :D.

For now, I'm going with the wheelsets I already have - DT Swiss G1800 alu gravel wheels and Fulcrum DB6 alu road wheels.
For road, I'll probably go 32mm GP5K STR front and back. For gravel I'll first see how big a tire I can fit and then pick a brand (would be nice to fit a 48 Thundero, but that's unlikely I think).

Wheels are definitely the next upgrade though, once I figure out what I want. I have my eye on the crazy Nextie 45AGX wheelset (inspired by the 3T Discus wheelset I think) - 40mm external, 29mm internal hooked rim and 45mm deep.
For what you want, Lightbicycle have 32 external / 25 internal rims in many different depths.

For the bike fit stuff, I have no idea. I just know that I don't hate my current saddle position. Should definitely get a fit some day though.
