Re: Eddie's Airwolf YFR066 Build Thread Ordered on 11.28, estimated delivery of 12.19
On 12.4 I was told it needed 10 days, on 12.14 was told they would check with the factory
I'm guessing mid January

Re: Eddie's Airwolf YFR066 Build Thread Got an answer this morning: 'I have arranged for a logistics provider to transport the goods '. Guess that means it will be shipped soon, we'll see  ;D

On 12.19 my order was changed to shipped so that the timer wouldn't expire, but in messages they said it is just now in paint and needs about another week.

Re: Eddie's Airwolf YFR066 Build Thread With your current installation, you have no headset compression. I'm not an expert but I would avoid forcing the handlebars until you have compressed the headset with the expander that goes under the stem.

Re: Eddie's Airwolf YFR066 Build Thread I had those same bars from OG Evkin on a bike that I sold. I had them in 42cm width first and then bought them in 40cm. I can confirm that both bars were very flexy. The 42 exponentially more than the 40. It did not bother me hugely and I rode thousands of km on this handlebar, raced it and even crashed it. The flex did add to the comfort. But if you're a sprinter, you should probably look elsewhere.
Also, you got around 6cm of spacers below your stem by the looks of it? That's inevitably gonna add flex. Add a flexy bar on top of that and I can see how this would feel rather disconcerting.

100%, at this point the bike is going to just sit there until I can find a shim and get the motivation to spend a few hours undoing and redoing everything

I have an Elves Vanyar which has a low head tube (120 mm). I am 178 cm tall. Rather than adding spacers under the handlebars, I opted for very few spacers with a 0° stem (Easton) and not -6 or -10 as is often the case.

Re: Magene P505 PES Base Spider Powermeter

I've installed my power meter now, I used this bottom bracket: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832835484740.html

and it worked well! The only thing I haven't diagnosed yet is that I have tried to use my Ultegra 11 speed chainrings with the crank, but the spacing between the two chainrings is wide enough that the chain can fall in the middle. I need to take it apart and see if I installed something incorrectly, or maybe the flanges that the chainrings mount to are thicker on the Magene vs. Shimano crank arms?

Mine were the same thickness (Shimano and Magene). Do you have any calipers you could measure with? Maybe bad QC?

Another update--FSA no.69 headset came in today! I tried swapping everything out (including the fork headset race), but that didn't work. Using the Airwolf fork headset race, with everything else from the FSA headset works great!

Fast shipping! I'm happy the FSA no.69 worked out for you. It's such a game changer. I keep multiple spares of that headset around just in case LoL.

Re: Eddie's Airwolf YFR066 Build Thread Should I snag a FSA headset preemptively for my 066 build?

Re: Eddie's Airwolf YFR066 Build Thread I did get the integrated handlebar, guess we will see if I need it! Did you get any grommets for the cable exits or should I order some? Trying to make sure I have all the causes of possible noises taken care of, as well as better waterproofing since I’m in Seattle. Also, my order is finally in the states but it’s been sitting in LA customs for a couple days. Hope it shows up soon.
