Customer review on the official site claims he tested it with no issues

Yeah, was hoping I could even like... double adapter it, haha. I tried to use normal adapters, but the M5/M6 issue is what is ruining it for me. That's obnoxious.

The IS mounts and adapters use bigger bolts than the L-Twoo calipers have space for, so it seems like it's just gonna be a mismatch.

Time to return the whole freaking groupo.

My 5 cents: careful with colours. You can get super durable decals cut for cheap locally, and you can change your mind every week. You can't change your mind with a colour. A colour also directly affect resale value. I chatted with a guy on Insta with a 168, white, who said his only regret was getting the frame painted white.
I got mine in glass black and am trolling Factor with Tractor decals. If i grow up one morning, i can remove them, it's fully reversible. My previous bike i painted orange because i loved the Giant propel from 2000 something in matte orange. Let's say my paint job didn't come out neaaaaarly as nice... I wish i had kept it black.

decals? Aren't decals simply stickers that typically have a logo on them? How would they change the complete bike color?

toxin claimed on WW a while back the RD could clear 40T, but are there real world reports on this?

Did they increase the price of these units substantially since release? I saw some earlier videos where folks said they purchased the groupset for 500$ ish.

I will keep an eye on it and if it change anything I will contact them. Its 2 year warranty. And im going to race national enduro series with it.

First impression compared to my orbea rallon r5 after a little ride and jumpig. More poppy, its slack, original geo is with 571mm axel to crown. with fox 38 170 its 63.5 with 76.5 seattube. Floppy in slow pace. Buttery smood initially with good midstroke. Did some 40-50cm drops and there was no problem with bottoming out.

Update on my slipping plug. I cleaned everything with alcohol and torqued it to 10nm. It's not slipping anymore. Well in place

However, I am getting a clunking noise from the hamdlebar from when I ride. It clunks when I go over bumps or when I sprint and rock the bar a bit more. I have disassembled everything many times, torqued the top bolt many times and also torqued the stem bolts to recommended 5NM.

When I rétorque everything, the sound goes away but quickly comes back, like if something loosens up, but there is no play that I can feel in the headset.

I am running out of ideas of what can cause the clunking noise. Any idea is more than welcome. I am getting crazy with that sound when riding.

Any chance SPcycle will do a lightweight climbing frame with T47 bottom bracket and 32c tire clearance? I know there's the SP-053D, but I'd prefer not to go with a BB86 frameset. I have an older SP-027D which I'm quite happy with. Though I might be interested in getting a climbing frame in the near future.

I have an older SPCycle frame (SP-R05) with a BB86 BB.  I got a Wheels Manufacturing threaded BB and it's "almost" like having a T47 - practically no real difference. All the ease of use, but also replaceable if there's thread damage. BB86-OUT-24mm for 24mm, BB86-OUT-SRAM7 for SRAM

LTwoo hydraulic calipers are flat mount brakes that need to use their own adapters, regardless of appearance. It's LTwoo's way of getting around Shimano brake mount patents. Your best bet is to use either regular post or flat mount calipers with appropriate adapter. I believe ZRace provides IS adapters for either caliper style.
