Re: Integrated Handlebar IIRC, this is "the one": https://www.lightcarbon.com/new-road-integrated-carbon-fiber-handlebar-international-cable-routing_p115.html
I've owned a different handlebar (HBR07) from Light Carbon and it was very high quality.

I asked myself the same question :-) and afterwards also asked Wing. She replied that there are different batches of the CFR1056, and by mistake I received one with this specific "shape". I guess it is a variant intended for an bicycle OEM... Everything else islike shown on the drawings.

That reminds me of the first-gen FutureShock frames from Specialized. See for example https://www.specialized.com/be/en/roubaix-expert/p/115446?color=214966-115446
Although yours looks more "pointy" (like a fin) in that picture.

Re: Recs for ~40t/~30t cranksets? All I can find are 50/34... I had the same problem. The Alibrands seem to be a bit behind on subcompact cranksets.

If you're on a budget, you can opt for a Sensah SRX 1x, with 40t in the front and 11-42 or 11-46 in the back.

For 2x mechanical, I just stick with GRX.

Re: ACR stem alternatives FSA sells a "non series" ACR stem that's available in 80mm if you look hard enough:

https://www.fsaproshop.com/products/non-series-acr-stem
https://www.bike-discount.de/de/fsa-non-series-acr-60-vorbau

However, speaking from my own personal experience, I recommend looking for a frame with a shorter reach. An 80mm stem on a road bike will result in twitchy handling.

With my body type (long lower body, short upper body, no flexibility), I need the stack of an XL frame combined with the reach of an XS frame. Pretty much my only drop-bar option is to go for a gravel frame, use a 90mm stem and flip it. That achieves my fit, but it's already quite twitchy. Definitely not fun in crosswinds.

Re: Speeder SC-R48 In case anyone is still doubting this: the full bike picture on Speeder's website is actually a Winspace branded frame. They (badly) erased the downtube logo in Photoshop, but you can still see the side of the headtube logo:

Re: Frame that accepts qr and thru axles? I don't think that'll work. The hub spacing is different on these wheels as well, so unless your wheelset already supports thru axles by switching the end caps, you'll need to get a new one.

Re: Road Tubeless Sealant Question I use 30ml in a road tyre, 60ml in a (wider) gravel tyre. Although 30ml is probably on the low end, as you can lose a lot of sealant because of the high pressure.

Re: Of evkin Hb 10 I've used the HB 010 for about a year. I mostly picked it for the short reach, as that's hard to find on Chinese handlebars. Overall I was very happy with it, so I can recommend it. It was very light and comfortable over rough roads, but obviously not very stiff, so if you're a heavier rider who puts a lot of force through the handlebars, you may want to opt for something that's not focused on low weight.

My only (minor) complaint about it is that the shape is quite triangular. The tops are flattened (which I like), but the bottom of the handlebar isn't entirely round, which, depending on how you fit it and where you put your hands, can cause a bit of a pressure point.

I've also used multiple OG Evkin carbon stems, with good results.

Do you know about the headset top cap and if i should use a spacer underneath or if i can clamp it directly on the handlebar/stem combo?

I always just clamp it directly. If you get your math right cutting the fork, there should be a few millimeters between the bottom of the top cap and the top of the expander plug that's sitting in the fork, so you can get a proper preload, and a nice clean look. However, many people put a small spacer underneath, for two reasons:

1. It's easier. You don't have to be as precise in cutting the fork and can just put a bigger spacer in case you need more space for preloading.
2. Technically, it's safer, as it better aligns the clamping force of the stem with the support given by the expander plug. Without a spacer, the top of the stem is clamping an area that's less supported. However, if you use a torque wrench, you should be fine. I've never actually seen this being an issue in real life.
