Looking through wolftooth website, it seems that this version "GR8" is marketed for grx crank. Rather annoying that they list this item in the normal 110 bcd listing as well. "SH" version might work, but do your own test.

For future reference. GR8 version of this chainring doesn't seem to be compatible with pes base. I ended up having to buy a normal crankset to finish my build.

Hopefully i can repurpose this powermeter to my ultegra roadbike.

Has anyone tried matching P505 PES base with wolftooth 1x chainring? I'm having issues installing the bolt as there's a gap that remains after tightening the bolt.

The bolt i bought has a 6mm length, is that the right bolt to use?

Note: The chainring is wolftooth 42t 110BCD for shimano crank.

Does anyone have a picture of the left hand side of the built bike? I'm curious whether the front brakes are able to be internally routed or it's only external?

Looking at my fork, the entrance for the hydraulic tubes seems to be below the inner part of the steerer tube.

edit:
Seem's i made a mistake ordering the 'semi-internal' version of the bike  :P. Any advice on whether it's possible to make it internal? or i need to live with it?

Frame just arrived. I've tried putting in the BB and fitted the PES Magene onto it. Everything seems to be working fine. Crank was rotating freely.

Do note that I only did a quick test fit, seems adding a bit extra spacer on the drive side will help add clearance in case of mud or dirt.

Btw, anyone know what's the strange part in the bag for? It has the word DS068 labeled on it. Seems like a bending tool for hoses?

I'm also tempted to replace the headset Clamp. Anyone had issues with the default one?

Good point in dub wide. It does have more clearance than the pes version.

I have pes on the way, will update here if it fits with T47 BB

6
How is the clearance for p505? Heard that it may have issues with T47 BB. Is everything working normally?

Finally got this built and out for a shakedown ride - haven't had it on the gravel yet but first impressions are excellent. Geometry feels dialed. Paint looks fantastic. SRAM mullet is fantastic for a gravel build. Size S and a 70mm stem (same as Canyon supply on stock builds) is ideal for my 174cm height. XMCarbonSpeed wheels were easy to set up and seal, and even the own brand tubeless valves seemed nicely made.

Downsides in building:
- BB and brake mounts needed facing
- Grommets on the frame are a poor fit once you run a hose through them (if I had my time again I probably would've ordered the fully internally routed one).
- Headset/UDH/axles are pretty chunky - suspect that a fair bit of weight could be shaved off these.

Component Deals & Selection / Re: Magene P505 PES Base Spider Powermeter
« on: November 13, 2024, 09:34:36 PM »
Anyone know if passquest chainring is compatible with SRAM 12 speed AXS flat top chains? I just bought the p505 PES and matched with with a chainring from ali.

After reading around, it seems there might be an incompatibility with flat top chains? Wonder if anyone has first hand experience on how to mix all of this together.

Anyone have fitted a Magene P505 crank to this frame?

I see here they specifically say "Not Support T47-86.5mm and BB386 bottom bracket !" - anyone know why?

Example this one I assume will fit into the G068 and then a Magene P505 stock should fit?

Looking into this as well. I'm interested in getting P505 for my G068 as well.Saw in the P505 thread that it works with G056 though with very small clearance.

Wonder if anyone has ever tried with G068?

I'm around 178cm. After comparing the geometry with my existing bikes, i think i'm going to go with size S.

Anyone have a recommended gravel integrated handlebar? preferably those available in aliexpress.

10
There's a brand called kactus in aliexpress. They have a T47 for SRAM Dub. I just bought one and still waiting for it to arrive.

11
Overall, would you recommend the G068 vs G056?

The geometry seems to be comparatively more upright vs G056

12
I'm reading through the posts in this forum as well. The Spcycle G056 looks very interesting. It's much cheaper vs Ican.

Do you guys think it's a better option vs buying X-Gravel 2?

13
I'm in the same boat as you as well. Currently considering a few options for road/gravel.
  • Winspace G2
  • Ican Graro
  • Ican X-Gravel 2

Currently leaning towards X-Gravel 2 due to the price & overall simpler setup vs Graro/G2. However, the Graro does look nice & has UDH built in as well.
The only downside for me is it's aero seatpost. Wonder if my concern with its proprietary aero seatpost is overblown?
