so the gap between 2 dropouts you made it to be 102mm permanently rather than force squeeze a lil to be 100mm?I reduced the gap between the dropouts from 103.3mm to 101.3mm by adding a 1mm washer on each side and the remaining 1.3mm is "squeezed" by tightening the thru axle.
I havent looked at geometry charts, but the seatpost looks a bit like a triathlon seatpost with the ability to move the saddle mount fore / aft. But if that's the case, by how much?I haven't actually measured the exact amount of movement possible, but I guess 15mm in total.
What size is your bike and how high is the saddle if I may ask?Size 56 and saddle height is 78,5cm.
Are these much stiffer as in harder to bend and harder to route around tight turns?I have combined compressionless with regular housing in the tight turns.
I'd like to make the rear brake on my rim brake bike less spongy. But since the cable is completely internally routed, compressionless housing is not really an option.
Just look up "CNC Gold Road Shift Cable Bicycle Shifter Line Wire" in your search engine or search up chooee Official Store on AliExpress. I was going to swap my shifters to Ultegra hydraulic, but when I tried these cables and picked up semi-metallic finned pads (recently released on AliEx) for my Juin Tech F1 calipers, they now brake so well I haven't felt a need to replace them yet. My Ultegra shifters/hydraulic calipers have just been sitting in shoe box! LolThanks I found them! In case I won't be satisfied with the performance of my brakes I will for sure try them out.
You can shop around, but I believe this store is the OEM that makes them. Just make sure to order the road version and get the right length of cables for the front and rear:Thanks, but unfortunately the link doesn't work for me, I just get "page couldn't be found". The cable looks very good!

When I installed them, I noticed a bit more tension/spring back on my Juin Tech F1 brakes. Also visually they look a bit more premium! Lol
I attached a photo of how they look on my bike.
I see you went with mechanical disc brakes. They sell some high tension gold brake cables on AliEx that work really well if you plan on keeping them.I used Jagwire cables, which I was quite happy with in the past. But can you post the link to the gold cables please?
Did you end up doing anything to your fork steerer or was it fine after you cut it down?Since I had to sand it down at two places quite a bit to make the cockpit-stem fit, I gave it to a carbon repair guy who glued in an alloy insert that goes down far below the headset bearing.
Weight without pedals is 7.8kg.
The communication was always friendly and I did get a partial refund. But the seller did not really seem to acknowledge the problem.This exactly matches my experiences with the seller. I too wouldn't buy there again. Would be interesting to know how TanTan handles cases of obvious deficiencies like my very much unround steerer tube.
