Re: Recommendations on Cheap Tubeless Rim Wheelset? I've built both rim and disc wheelsets using Carbon Beam Store rims from Aliexpress. They're not the cheapest but very good in my experience. Bitex hubs are a good reasonably-priced option but Ryet have some nice-looking rim brake hubs at very decent prices, although the rear hubs don't have the biggest bracing angle.

I'm also a fan of Sapim D-light spokes for a quality budget build.

Get the Roger Musson book and have some fun. Your riding buddies will be very impressed that you've built your own wheels.

Re: Eddie's Airwolf YFR066 Build Thread Sorry to sneak into this thread as a +1. I've ordered a YFR066 frameset and integrated bars and have just been told it's been collected by DPD in China. The frameset was ordered on 18th December BTW and communication with Airwolf has been fine. It's going to be a slightly unusual build as I'm speccing the bike for very hilly sportive events (specifically the Fred Whitton Challenge here in the UK). Gearing will be 50/34 11-40, giving a 23" lowest gear. So far I've built the wheels, using Ryet hubs and 38mm rims off Aliexpress (Carbon Beam Store) with Sapim Race spokes - they come in at 1402g for the pair.

If there is interest in yet another YFR066 build, I'll keep the forum posted on how things go.

Re: Eddie's Airwolf YFR066 Build Thread Well, my frameset turned up today. First signs weren't encouraging...



However, it had been packaged well inside the box and there doesn't appear to be any damage

I'm happy with the colour (Red Crystal)





The caliper mounts have been painted on the mounting faces so I'll need to sort that but the BB shell is within tolerance and round.

These are the weights...

Frame - Size 54, painted with derailleur mounts and bottle cage bolts 1120g
Fork, uncut 440g
Seatpost assembly 179g
Integrated bars - 400 wide 120mm stem 414g

I'm waiting for a few more bits but I'll post updates in due course.

Re: Eddie's Airwolf YFR066 Build Thread Right - I've pretty much finished my build and I have to say, it fought back every step of the way...



As I said earlier, it was specced for the hills - hence the dinnnerplate cassette. Despite that and the GRX rear mech it came in at around 7.5kg as pictured (7.9 with SPD pedals, cages and computer mount). I'll do a 20k ride on Thursday or Friday and let you know how it went...
