Re: Airwolf YFR068 - 2023 Gravel Frame
The original Cervelo expander doesn't fit, which is too bad because the design is a lot more elegant (more outward moving parts, better ridges on the gripping part).

Re: Airwolf YFR068 - 2023 Gravel Frame
For me the alloy top part was sticking out wider than the fork, so I sanded it down until it was flush. Otherwise the stem wouldn't slide over the top of the fork. My build is almost finished, just received a GRX Di2 front derailleur so that a 45C Schwalbe G-One RS fits (not much room to spare but i wouldn't ride these tires in muddy conditions anyway). With a Dura Ace Di2 there was about one millimetre to spare, and now it's maybe 3-4mm. The only challenges so far were the expander and getting the headset running smoothly, a thin spacer underneath the top cap solved it. February 23, 2024, 08:43:00 AM |

Re: Airwolf YFR068 - 2023 Gravel Frame
Did my first ride on it yesterday (only an hour because I'm recovering from an accident): -It's stable - not in annoying way, but definiteley not nervous like a Giant TCX or the Factor O2 it replaced -It clears 45mm tires (when using a GRX Di2 front derailleur) but only just. With a 21mm internal rim these tires (Schwalbe G One RS) are quite voluminous. I'm afraid I'll have to size down or dremel down... -It's quick enough (or I am), averaged 33 kph -The slipping seat post as someone mentioned is also a problem for me, I thought i'd have done it up tight already but it still slipped about 1.5cm during the ride. All in all I really like it, can't wait to go out on an actual gravel ride with it now! March 04, 2024, 08:44:27 AM |
