Finally took my bike out of LBS. The whole assembly came out at 9.1kg, but I wasn't chasing weight reduction either. Absolutely all spare parts were purchased on AliExpress. Total cost about 1450$.

Frame with seatpost and Handlebar: Seraph (It was the cheapest option 499$)
Saddle: Ryet plastic with carbon rail
Chaining: Senicx 42t (I also took 40t just in case)
GRX 600 165mm crankset 46/30
11-46t M8000 cassette
GRX RX812 RD
Lingmai ceramic BB
Riro magnesium pedals
RX600 2x11 levers
CN701 chain
Shimano RT54 160mm rotors
Onirii aluminium wheelset 36t ratchet 28h
Continental Terra Trail 40c
Brooks bar tape

According to the mechanic, the only difficulty was laying the internal wiring. The brakes adjusted easily and the first time.
I am 168 cm tall and chose the XS size. Toe overlap is really a problem that I faced and maybe it was worth taking size S, but this is a feature of geometry and toe overlap is a feature of this geometry. This is my first bike as an adult and I'm still very happy with it. Maybe I'll just change the tires to 50c

Maintenance, Mechanics, & Tools / Lower headset gap?
« Last post by kbernstein on Today at 01:53:41 PM »
I have a ~2mm gap I don't understand and can't fix that didn't use to be there. This is from a carbonda 696 with the supplied headset, barely ridden only about 50km worth of shakedown rides
The lower split crown race don't sit flush with the lower headset bearing no matter what I do, I can't press it with my hands, tightening the steerer plug does nothing and there is no excess grease
I've tried fully omitting the split crown race like some people report but it steers like shit. But the gap disappears which confirms this is the culprit
Unless I'm crazy I think they used to sit flush and are supposed to

They also have powermeter pedals promising to compete with assiomas. Wish they made PM cranks again though
But what happened to sensah?? I think they were the second teased electronic groupset from china after wheeltop but i've not heard about it in over a year

How can the same shifters work with both brake cables and hydraulic housing?

Joe said rim brake will be available later so they are not the same shifters

I stand corrected.  When I initially tried to install this everytime I tried to connect via the app, it kept timing out. This led me to attach the charging cable to wake the device and connect. 

I just tried it now without the charging cable and was able to connect.  Sorry for the bad info.

In the meantime I found it from an Italian seller (for a crazy price)
The good news is that this seller is really close where a live so I can go to see the frame from live

That gap on the bottom between the 2 plates also looks weird. Is that normal?

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Looking for a disc climbing frameset.

I ride both a high seatpost TFSA SL6 clone and an SPCycle frame with more aero/upright geometry. Even though the SPCycle frame has better power transfer, my TFSA frame definitely climbs better since I can "dig" myself more into the cockpit...if that makes sense?

ICAN sent me a price of $595 USD for their FL1 frame + additional shipping cost and $85 USD for custom paint job. It's a sub 800g frame and makes it a bit cheaper than either the Onirii One or the Bigrock frame, though I think it's the heaviest of the Aethos clones.

My ER9 derailleur cage has just a minor outward bend and shifts fine on a 12 speed cassette. Though the ER9 has a full alloy cage setup, while I believe your ERX cage is an alloy+carbon setup. The carbon could be flexing more outward?

Not my experience.  Group indeed needs to be woken up if you weren't using it either from movement or through the shifter buttons afterwhich you can connect your app to make adjustments.  No need to have charge cable attached and plugged into power source.
Nor my experience.  Same as quoted above.
