I found my custom paint to be acceptable for what I paid! If you like something go for it!

my only concern for a first timer is the internal routing and bike fit. you really need to be sure of how your bike fit is before you want to run the cables. if you decide to go taller/shorter on the front end or a wider bar, you pretty much take the whole bike apart.
unless you plan on running an external handlebar/stem, then it just goes through the frame, then you should give it a go!

The fact that the wheels are already US based, hell also on Amazon, makes me feel better that if I have any issues I can return them. I had to return a set of ICAN wheels on Amazon and it was great, no issues at all...

Pat, what do they measure though? My 32mm Conti 5000's are only 29.5mm on my wheels.

Is this the same Peter that was at XMIPlay in 2018?

I have CX3 hubs on another bike and they have been solid for 2 years and 3 different bikes…
Also, based on the eBay reviews and amount sold, I haven’t heard anything bad about them, so I’d say that they have a good reputation?

Found this while browsing for a new gravel wheelset, seems to have positive reviews and I can't find any negative things online... Anyone have any first hand experience?

« on: December 17, 2022, 04:20:10 PM »Has anyone tried using 30c tires and confirm they fit? If so what wheel and tire combo are you using?
I tried fitting Specialized Roubaix Pro tires (labeled as "30/32") paired to ENVE G23 wheels (23mm internal). Could not even mount the wheels front or back for lack of clearance.
My 30/32 Roubaix on skinner internal rims didn’t clear the front fork. I ran a 28mm gravel king on 19mm internal and it barely cleared the front too. Measured 29-30mm.
This is a big flaw for this frame. Just stick to 28mm and call it a day.

The 28s may be wider on that rim. Bust out the calipers.

« on: October 31, 2022, 09:18:18 AM »Can you fit 32mm on the 177?
I was able to clear 32mm measured in the rear, but not in the front. Super disappointed.
