Do you have a model to recommend? Sorry, but I am completely inexperienced in frame assembly....this would be my first time!  ;D

Used this one but any foam will work it‘s really just cheap foam, nothing magical haha

Did you guys use foam damper for the rear brake cable, or is it stable enough without it to not make any rattling or tapping noise over bumps?

If i remember correctly i did use some. Doesn't really hurt and you don't want your bike to start rattling later and then do everything again.

I slapped 32c semi-slicks on a 2nd wheelset and put them on my G056/RF25 frame. In this configuration, it makes for a nimble all-arounder/commuter type bike with a 38t + 9-46t cassette. I did try some really skinny road tires, but they looked funny. 32c tires are probably as narrow as I'd go on this frame!

Those brands should engage you as a photographer for their products. Looks really good and the photos make it stand out. This frame looks really tempting for a gravel build. I've looked into the G068 and the GR201 but both are really stretched out. This one seems to be better for someone with longer legs, shorter torso and not the best flexibility.

Anyone else find that the fork has a gap with the headtube with the lower race installed?
Without the bottom race the fork seems to rotate smoothly. Not sure if long term it would rub off the paint at the interface and becomes rougher, the paint being possibly the only thing making it a smooth turn.
Third photo is without the metal race. The steerer tube is definitely sloped at the fork--perhaps this is meant as an integrated crown race and they just included the separate metal race anyway?

I have confirmed with spcycle that you don't need a crown race on this fork. Mine didn't even come with one. Mentioned it somewhere earlier in the thread.

Just an information, after how many days did they ship the frame purchased from aliexpress? :)

I ordered on january 27th and it was shipped (via dpd to germany) on february 15th. Arrived on february 27th. There was chinese new year between ordering and shipping so i'm not sure if that slowed things down or not but in my opinion everything went pretty fast. I didn't choose a complicated paintjob though. Just glossy clearcoat.

Has anyone tested the pes p505 with a 48-33t or 46-32t chainring combo or understands whether that would work?
E.g. by stone: https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005006848072861.html or praxis works https://www.bike24.com/p2674816.html

I want to reduce my 50-34T to for long steep mountain rides...

Haven't tested it myself but i am pretty sure it would work as long as it's 110 BCD.

The groupset arrived today, as expected no additional fees to pay so 392€ is the final price. There is in fact no region lock or anything like that so pairing the groupset to the phone was no issue. Installation was pretty straightforward. The only negative are the rubber hoods that are hard to pull making it a little difficult to reach the clamp screw. The brake hoses were pre filled and i took care to not spill any oil when installing. This way i managed to not have to bleed them myself. They brake perfectly just like that. For the shifting i just did the initial setup and some b-screw adjustments and it shifts really well. Haven’t even looked into fine tuning the single gears as it just works. I will probably have a look at it to make it 100% perfect but it doesn’t seem to be necessary right now. I did a first ride and yeah - it just works. There‘s really not much more to say. I expected a really tricky and annoying setup but nope.

For those also having the magene pes p505 here‘s an interesting information: the charger of the derailleur and the charger of the magene seem to be the same interface. I haven’t compared them directly and didn’t try it out but they look very similar. Would be pretty convenient if you are travelling for example and have to carry only one cable.

How many spacers did you receive, my frame only came with 1 spacer. Just to confirm, you received the 167.5mm 15mm thread thru axle?

Mine came with two spacers. The axle is 167,5 mm with 15 mm threads. What's interesting though is the fact that there are thread marks on the non threaded area of the axle. It's probably the thread of the UDH.

I got the Elitewheels ENT disc 2.0 in 50 mm depth. First pair of disc wheels outside of a mtb for me and the extra work over rim brakes really makes me long for rim brakes a bit.

Have you ridden them yet? I have the same ones and they feel very sensitive in crosswinds. Since these are my first 50 mm wheels i'm not sure if that's normal for that kind of depth or if these wheels in particular are sketchy in crosswinds.

Check your frame, it's possible you have a flat thru axle non-drive side hole. Mine and a few of us early adopters have the older TA hole which requires the conical washer/spacer.

Mine also uses conical spacers but with the spacers in place there doesn’t seem to be any play. I can measure the thread length of my thru axle to compare it with yours.

Is this only a problem on older frames? Because mine is fairly new and i don't seem to have any problems. There's no play on the rear wheel. Or i might need to check again

Was this the c-ring you were sent afterwards that worked for you?

Also, I'm assuming the frame comes with a compression plug or do I need to get that separately?

Pretty much all frames come with a compression plug but it's usually a pretty short one. I personally didn't use the supplied one with any of my builds but bought a longer one on aliexpress. Gives the steerer tube a little more strength i would say. Not sure if it's really necessary but i feel safer riding it with a larger compression plug.

Get some spares axles from VB for the trainer.

Stupid question, is 30mm spacer height safe for this fork (comes with 15+10+5 right)? Including the bottom headset cover it is 45mm. It is a bit above enve and below whisky recommendations. Also, using a micro spacer above the stem would be stupid right? I'm probably paranoid, lol.

Personally i would use a longer expander plug than the one that comes with the frame (i would do that anyways) and it's probably fine. Don't think they'd ship the frame with that many spacers if it was unsafe to ride. Using a spacer on top of the stem so the stem can grip the fork steerer all the way is probably a good idea. Might not be as aesthetically pleasing as you will have to use a round topcap.

I clicked the button... :D

What do you think of this handlebar?

I don't know anything about these bars but i would highly recommend to only buy an integrated cockpit when you figured out your fit 100%. Alloy stem and bars (UNO for the win) on Aliexpress are very affordable and you can easily change them when you aren't happy with your fit. Once you are happy you can still upgrade.

I have a question to all other buyers of this frame: Did yours come with a crown race? Mine didn't come with one. So i asked spcycle on aliexpress and they told me the fork doesn't require a crown race and i installed the bearing directly on to the fork. Did you have the same experience?
