I have those cranks and that same bolt broke on mine after about 10 miles.

Has anyone here tried to mount 180 mm brake rotors with the GRT groupset, if so can you send a picture of your setup. I've been doing my build with them and the brake calipers require a lot of shims in the front and just do not fit in the back when using a 180 mm rotor.

It appears that the anodizing on the front hub was causing the issue. I tried screwing in the lock ring without the rotor and it became difficult to turn well before it was screwed in all the way. I tightened and untightened it a few times and was able to get it farther in, so I think it just needed to clear the threads. I was able to tighten the rotor down, but I'll put a paint witness mark so I can see if it works loose.


No issues with the rear hub.


Now I just need to wait for the longer valve stems. I'm very eager to test out my first wheels and see how much of difference they make!

I had the same problem! Luckily I was building my wheels at the college bike shop and the grizzled tech there just got me a longer wrench and encouraged me to go for it. With a little more leverage I was able to fully tighten my front brake. Overall, the hubs looks good. I'll post after I put some miles on them.

The Gravel version of the Ltwoo hydraulic groupset is out and sadly it's also over 400 USD

In case people are curious, LTWOO says on their site that new products will all be out in September.

Well...looks like I have to reconfigure the gravel build I've been budgeting for. These are exciting developments. Hoping that clutch is an actual clutch.

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm building a gravel bike now and the LTwoo gravel groupset looks really compelling, hydraulic brakes and a clutch on the rear derailleur would be wonderful.

Thank you! Does anyone have experience with how big of a 650B tire this fork will take? I'm just curious at this point.

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Gravel fork for wide tires
« on: June 28, 2022, 12:22:47 PM »
Everyone,

I've found a variety of forks on aliexpress that will go up to 700x45 or 650b x 2.1 but I'm curious if anyone knows of an option for wider tires that's not a MTB fork? Has anyone seen a fork that can do 700x50 but that has flat mount brakes?
