That's very strong!
May I ask what you had to pay >:( ?
Those carbon spokes are really not cheap  ;D

$1,550 shipped to Europe
Which is about $300 more than with Sapim CX-Ray

I'll build one 909 for me in the coming weeks.
And ordered wheels even lighter.
I'll report about them when received.

What brand are those spokes?  did you custom order them cause i have never seen carbon spokes listed on their website?  that is a crazy light wheel set and they look awesome.

If I understood correctly their own.

I purchased two pairs, my first first into non-black bibs and wow!
Even on long rides.
Bought another two and now, I only ride with these.
The only issue is that the S size are two cm short on the leg for me.

Re: Perfect Shift/Brake Lever Alignment and Symmetry Here's a cheap one  8)

I position the brake hoods on the handlebars, so that they are in a horizontal extension from the top of the handlebars.

Then I take a piece of string.
And I place it horizontally at the base of the top of the brake hood, and by parallax with the handlebars, I can see if they are at the same height.
Otherwise, I raise or lower one of the two brake hoods.

Then I measure the distance from the tip of the brake hood to, for example, the opposite side where the stem attaches to the handlebars.
It should be identical on both sides.
Otherwise, I rotate one of the brake hoods inward or outward.

I have an XT groupset and a SID select waiting for a frame. Will the XT 4pot caliper brakes fit into this frame?

From a picture there, I would say yes...

Ask Carbonda.

Re: ZTTO BB92 BB86 threaded bottom brackets. First you have to be sure the noise is coming from the BB.
As a creak can come from many places and resonate through the frame like a drum: pedals, screws of the ring(s) or the rear hanger not properly tightened, seatpost, stem/bar, loose wheel axles, cassette, rear hub bearings or free wheel parts,...

Ideally check out all this on a home trainer with someone else listening where the noise originate. And try to replace the easy part you think could creak, eg: pedals, rear wheel

Then, or if you are certain it is the BB.
Check the smoothness of the non drive side bearings, it is the one that generally dies first with gxp.
If not smooth, replace bearings. Either with a good brand SKF, NTM,... that will last a little longer, or buy them by the dozen on aliexpress and consider it as a disposable part.

The  wavy washer is there to take any slack and preload the non drive side bearings that takes all lateral load.

...About bibs, they are heavier than well known brands and thus warmer...
So you have what you pay for, don't expect a miracle  ;)

I had this hot plastic bag impression with a spexcel bib I tried.

Not these Darevie: https://a.aliexpress.com/_ExJuwDh
I did rides in very hot weather and they are just fine.
And at $36, I can't find anything better.

Anecdotally I moved out from black bibs and don't look back

This is is a gorgeous build - what an awesome pink! Is the fork boost spacing, or non boost? I wonder if matching pink rigid forks would be too much pink?

You have inspired me to build a similar bike - I will send Carbonda an email to get the ball rolling!

edit - I can't see anywhere - is the rear axle non-boost?

Sorry for the extreeeemely long delay.
The unread posts on the forum, looses some after a while.

You might've heard from Wing by now.
It is boost – both front and rear.

I had the black fork in the workshop, it was a test, the rider wanted a suspension.
But I suggested a rigid would be fine for the type of riding she does.
After a few weeks, we ordered a pink one !

As Wing warned me, it is slightly different, as it was not painted together with the frame.
It's kinda hard to spot unless you're looking for it.
And nope, it's not too pink  ;)
Actually, everyone she bumps into wants to chat about her bike.
