Maintenance, Mechanics, & Tools / Spacing out a front derailleur
« on: April 22, 2024, 05:44:17 AM »
 I have built a Spcycle G056 gravel frame and it went together with very few issues. I chose SRAM AXS with a 'wide' crank which uses a 30/43 rings and the 'wide' front derailleur.

 My problem is that the installed front derailleur does not sit low enough on the hangar as it hits part of the frame of the bike. Is it OK to put a spacer between the frame and the derailleur hangar to move it 3-4 mm away from the frame ? The hangar is a simple 2 bolt one that fits into a recessed part of the molded carbon frame.

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / New G056 on it's way !
« on: March 28, 2024, 04:03:57 AM »
   Been lurking here reading as much as I can and finally pulled the trigger on a frame. It is a Sp G056 but bought from another seller. I also have a set of Elitewheels (28mm internal with X weave pattern), an integrated bar, etc ordered but I am stumped on a groupset to choose.

 I have read of people having issues with internal cabling and mechanical groupsets but I would like to keep the cost down. At the moment I can get a new 105 2x FULL mechanical group or a Rival AXS 1x electronic group (minus crank). Unfortunately the Rival has a max cassette of a 35t. Either of these is around $1000 CDN and in stock locally.
