I´m repeating Basajaun ultra gravel, did it also in 2022. 850 kms and +15.000m.
Nice test for the bike! I´m doing an Ultra also this summer.
A pair of questions:
- Where did you get the cover for the toptube bolts?
- Seat clamp is the original or you bought from Cervelo?
Somehow i'm still struggling with a bit of headset play:
- the expander sits tight and flush in the steerer tube during and after headset compression
- while mounting and screwing the top cap the resistance gets suddenly pretty high at some point of compressioning. However the handle bar moves still freely to both sides. No rubbing at the frame.
- it seems to be only the upper headset causing this little play.
My suspicicon is that the compression c ring doesn't completely compresses the bearing. Or is it possible that the diameter of the steerer tube is a bit too small for the compression c ring? I'm running out of ideas now and dont know how to solve this analytical…
Had a minor surgery, few weeks of recovery and then a couple rounds of the flu.
However today was the day for the first shake down after build. Complete with a set of Elite ENT 50mm (pillar wing upgrade) equipped with 28mm Schwalbe One and RideNow TPU-tubes.
The bike is fast, smooth and comfy. No complaints for the moment.
Anyone else find specing and building bikes to be almost more fun than riding them?
Nice looking rig!
So after a few days of arguing Airwolf have agreed on a $50 refund and a new fork.
They are asking me to pay an extra 0.1Usd to create a new order.
Any ideas whether I should do this? Reading online it seems fine as I have received the original order.
can anyone comment if the frame brake mounts are setup for 140 or 160mm rotors by default? I've ordered 160mm rotors and need to know if I need to get my hands on some adapters.
Anyone try Speeder's gravel wheels? I know their road wheels are well received.
Got quoted 665$USD for a set with 40mm depth, 25mm internal, DT Swiss 350 hub and sapim cx-ray spokes.
Turning an endurance bike into a gravel bike with 35mm listed clearance on 700C.
thanks!
Okay, I need some help. I know the BB on the frame is BBright. If I order DUB compatible BBright bottom bracket, can I run a crankset like this one? Sorry if this seems ameteur, I get overwhelmed by BB/crankset options and different standards. I plan to upgrade the chainring with a 44T one.

Interesting - what has made you switch away from the mullet setup? That's exactly the route I am thinking to go. And thanks for confirming 44T up front is max.
Someone might have mentioned earlier - apologies if so...
But what is the max chainring that can be run on the front? Thinking to go with GX AXS wide range cassette and run a 44, maybe 46 up front.
so consider that as a no. A DUB road wide crankset might give some more room. Did my first ride on it yesterday (only an hour because I'm recovering from an accident):
-It's stable - not in annoying way, but definiteley not nervous like a Giant TCX or the Factor O2 it replaced
-It clears 45mm tires (when using a GRX Di2 front derailleur) but only just. With a 21mm internal rim these tires (Schwalbe G One RS) are quite voluminous. I'm afraid I'll have to size down or dremel down...
-It's quick enough (or I am), averaged 33 kph
-The slipping seat post as someone mentioned is also a problem for me, I thought i'd have done it up tight already but it still slipped about 1.5cm during the ride.
All in all I really like it, can't wait to go out on an actual gravel ride with it now!
I have ordered a YFR068 today, will make a build thread when everything arrives.
