Re: Spcycle New Mold G068 Carbon Gravel Frame
Quote from: trolling on August 27, 2024, 02:06:38 PM
Hi all,
I am new here but been reading for a while trying to orientate myself. I would like to build a Gravel bike that tries to replicate something close to the Canyon Grizl. From my research it looks like the SPCycles G068 might be close to that from what I see but open to feedback. I have some generic questions and specific... I haven't built a bike for many years so lots of things have changed.
Here goes...

- How do I know if I need cassette or crank spacers?
- Anything I am missing here or putting together that is stupid?
- Any suggestions over and above the G068 in terms of "Grizl like" nature? I looked at plenty but with so many choices its hard to know if I missed something.

Apologies if I should have started a new thread specific to this set of questions. Thanks in advance and below is the pick list I came up with so far (and thanks to those who published their build lists to give me a starting point to narrow things down).

I am building the same bike but using the CWinds frame. They will be releasing an updated G30 U with integrated bars in the next month. I was speaking with them. That’s a decent list of parts. Pretty much exactly what I’m building.

Re: Cassette and freehub compatibility question Easy, you can buy both an HG and XD freehub from Elite Wheels and jump back-n-forth depending on your choice of cassette. HG goes 11t smallest and XD will get you to 9/10t smallest.

Actually I asked a somewhat similar question in the components sub-forum, but I'm wondering if the 9t cog is any good in real-world use!

Re: Cassette and freehub compatibility question You can use an XD cassette on an XDR hub. You'll need a 1.85mm spacer behind the cassette. This is how I run the Eagle cassette on my gravel bike.
