Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: TanTan TT-X38 Build

that's a pretty gangster build for a commuter bike! i especially like the mullet big ring + huge MTB cassette. What group & gearing are you running?
For the bearings, can't help, i'd ask tantan directly

Thank you  :). It was not itended to be a commuter bike. But it is so much fun, that I havenā€˜t ridden my actual commuter bike in half a year.
It is a SRAM rival AXS groupset (46 chainring) and a GX eagle derailleur (10-52 casette). Works well.

Hi,

I have been riding my X38 for almost a year now. It has a quite hard life as I also commute on it in every kind of weather.
Currently I am thinking about a rebuild (there are some creaks and I forgot the foam housing for the brake hose). Does anyone know the headset bearing specs? Would a standard ACR bearing fit? This would also allow me to get a new narrow cockpit.
Thanks.

Regards,
Michael

I'm also interested in a TT bike. I found the VB-TT-023. https://www.velobuildmall.com/products/vb-tt-023-new-t47-carbon-fiber-time-trial-frame-set-disc-integrated-cable. Looks relatively modern.

My ideas for the upcoming bild:

1) 3D print special extender for the fork, i don't know why, but i like thick forks so much, so i want to extend it a little bit, like this:

2) Print storage box (like BMC), aero bottle and saddle cover underneath

I don't know if i will be able to make it look good, but we will see.

Very cool ideas. Just ordered the frame. A storage box would be the perfect excuse to finally get a 3D printer.

I'm planning a similar 1x build. I assumed a wide crank would be necessary to fit a big chainring (>50)?
