Here after a long break. Eyeing the rim brake EDS TX for my CAAD or SSE. I'm seeing $545~ before coupon, is that a good price?

Sounds like the going rate. I would just double check the other sellers if they have any coin deals or any additional discounts to lower the price before applying the coupon.

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: GR048 with Tansmission?
« Last post by landboard on Today at 01:57:26 PM »
So I bought the GR048 frame in Large with the UDH from the Seraph Ali store. So far the contact has been very nice.

On the components I will stick with a black theme. So think that narrows it down to X0 and Rival. Wont be the most cost efficient nor lightest build, but i hope it looks cool when its done.

I will update this thread as things are moving along.

Today, I finally checked the headset. I could indeed hear some grinding noise and so I adjusted the headset.
I did some test rides: When breaking abruptly and hard, the break reacts well and there is no stuttering.
But when breaking with a bit more feeling and less power, the stuttering is still there (see attached) :(
I adjusted the break once more but it didn't make any difference.

Any other suggestions?

@PLA: Could you please explain why to change the wheel?

What is the brand of your aerobar ?
It´s Controltech Falcon but with Zipp Vuka 110 pipes.

It has to be ordered directly from them for the F12 stem, regular version has a different size.

Finally, I received the pictures from Carol at LC. The paint job looks amazing, and I was promised that they will ship the frame tomorrow. The entire process experienced significant delays compared to the promised lead times, but I hope the wait will be worth it. I will post the final mounted pictures with custom decals (which are yet to be designed).

This looks very nice!
Which color did you use for the 'red' parts of the frame?

6070km now and I can really recommend 30mm tyres. Much more comfort and some added speed. Better ride feel overall.
New headset bearing with better quality also gave the bike a better feel so if I build something again it should be upgraded directly.
HG701 chain lasted around 5500km with muc of dry lube so I switched to Squirt wax now.

I'm really liking this one so far: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256802471941574.html
I've seen this one and took it into consideration, but the flare is too big for me. It's about 20° right?
I now took a chance with the Syncros, will post my experience in here.
