I also tend more to aluminum. Any brands or frame models to recommend? They don’t seem popular on alibaba

Is there any risk in running non-SRAM batteries?

I have not used Uno stem on internal routing frame (GF002) but I can imagine its going to be a pretty ill fit. For one, the spacers are kinda rectangular shaped to accommodate for the cables to go thru them. Are you trying to not route cables through the stem but still hide them somehow? Look at FSA SMR ACR stem and Kocevlo spacers underneath to almost fully conceal the cables.

Yes that's what I was aiming for. And there's one more complication: I want to keep the flexibility of adding stem-mounted aerobars (FALCON MINI CLIP-ON (Stem Mounted)) for ultra distances.

Your proposed FSA SMR sounds great indeed!
Do you have experience with it? Would you expect that the FSA SMR stem+cable channel could be clamped with the aerobars (max 5nm)?
Looks like the cable channel is also made from alloy and is screwed into the stem, so it looks stable at least...EDIT: just called FSA and they confirmed that the cable channel's made from plastic.. so not really an option for clamping an aero bar on it unfortunately.


The visually sub-par Uno stem combo would work for sure with the stem-mounted aerobars, routing the cables below/around the aerobar clamps.
But yes I guess it will look a bit ugly, the Kocevelo spacers would be at least 6mm wider than the Uno stem... and I'd need to drill 2 holes into the top spacer to let the cables in.
I found some ppl at WW who run a "normal stem" like the Uno and route the cables internally into the frame afterwards. Looks surpisingly ok I think: https://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=170873&sid=56ca16bdbbd72e2dc28b62bdfa46eb98&start=15

I'm a bit torn between the options now.
Considering the low price point of the Uno stem, I might also just give it a try. Curious to hear what you think 

Seeing this now. I have size 56 frame, if you are still waiting for these dimensions I will let you know by tonight!

Thanks coffeebreak! I received in the meantime:

For future reference, in size 56:
1. The inner top tube length measures around 48-50cm (it’s bent at the head tube)
2. The inner seat tube length is about 44cm
3. The inner down tube is around 58cm

I think it’s more about Q factor and how your leg movement is spaced. When my legs go straight down, they ever so slightly touch the saddle nose where the bib wear appears. The riyet 3d saddles are wider than many non 3d saddles at the nose, that’s a fact. Whether it’s an issue or not could depend on your frame essentially and Q factor I guess

Did anyone mesure the frame triangle inner dimensions in size 56?
Planning on getting a full frame bikepacking bag, either off the rack or custom.
My frame will hopefully be on the way soon!

Any take or experience on seatpost clamps?
Weight imo is secondary as primary goal is the seatpost never slipping into the gravel frame, potentially damaging it.

Options I discovered out of Carbon fiber (to avoid galvanic corrosion right away I didn't select any Aluminum parts)

I bought the 48-32 version - came warped from factory. Not minor either, you could see the rings weren't perfectly flat. Sent back. I have now ordered GXP to 110 BCD 5 arm adapter from Fovno. Just gonna use some good ol' FSA rings that were put out of commission by Pass Quest chainrings a while ago.
The adapter in question  - https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805156905073.html $8

Sorry to hear. I remember tracevelo also marked them as trash along some other brands.

Buying some spare 30-46 chainrings from Senicx sounds reasonable just to make sure.
