Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / ICAN X-Gravel Build Advice
« on: February 06, 2023, 11:02:10 AM »
Hi everyone. I've been inspired to build rather than buy a new gravel bike. I'm reasonably well versed in servicing my current road bike but have never undertaken a full build from scratch, especially when it comes to component selection, compatibility and so on.

Would someone mind taking a look over my proposed build below and advising on any glaring incompatiblities, as well as whether there are any component choices I've made that should be avoided/swapped.

Frameset (Frame/Fork/Seat Post):
ICAN X-Gravel Bike Frame
56cm UD Matte

Groupset (Rear Derailleur, Shifters, Chain, Cassette):
SENSAH SRX PRO 1x12 Speed
11-46T 12S Cassette
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004702786544.html

Crankset (Crank, Bottom Bracket, Chainring):
ZRACE RX
172.5mm, 42T, DUB-BSA
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002782824040.html

Brakes (Calipers/Rotors):
ZRACE BR-005 Black 140 140 Rotor
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003563502587.html

Wheels:
ELITEWHEELS ENT GRAVEL
35mm Depth, 32mm Width, ENT 6 Bolt Lock
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003801034467.html

Handlebar:
UNO FL12 Gravel Bike Handlebar
31.8x420mm
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004636084449.html

Tyres, Stem, Bar Tape, Saddle and Pedals I already have or will be sourced locally. Tyres I'm undecided on but looking for circa 38mm width.

Further down the line, I'd like to upgrade to a power meter. Is the crank compatible with either of these?

My main areas of concern that I want to be certain on are the cassette and wheel compatiblity (i.e. is the freehub body on the wheels correct for the 12s cassette), and possibly a steel axle crank would be preferred but I don't know if this is a non issue being alloy but 28.99mm.

Aside from the parts above, which I assume come with all required mounting hardware, do I still need to aquire cables/outers/terminations? Am I missing anything?

Thank you very much for your time!
