Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Cassette and freehub compatibility question
« on: August 29, 2024, 01:13:26 PM »
Hi all,
I am trying to piece together a suitable build list and come up with a couple of questions on compatibility that I can’t quite answer with 100% certainty.
My desire is to have a 1by setup using the following:
- Groupset: LTWOO GRT12-Disc 1x12s
- Cassette: A 9-50 (10 or 11)
- Wheels: Elitewheels, either SLR Gravel or the ENT
First the easy one where I think I know the answer. My understanding is that the derailleur from LTWOO would work with either a cassette conforming to SRAM’s XD or Shimano’s HG format? Although HG the minimum ring on the cassette would be 11 due to the physical size of the HD freehub.
The more perplexing one. If I go for a wider SRAM format cassette like this (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006380414988.html) which lists as “XD compatible”. Elitewheels (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004574763198.html) seem to only list a SRAM hub type of XDR as opposed to XD and when I google the difference I see that XDR is physically bigger (1.85mm according to google / SRAM). On AliX I see the XDR cassettes are narrower in format (10-44 is the biggest spread I came across so far).
So, the question. If I stuck with Elitewheels, and I must pick between the Shimano 10-11-12s or SRAM XDR 12s freehub. What is my best choice of cassette to give the widest ratio spread with a 1by setup and the LTWOO GRT12?
Thanks, and hopefully not too long winded.

I love the look of this. Sorely tempted to take that colour for my G068 "build". A question as I know they are very similar/the same.
You said on your build thread that running the cables for the derailleur was very tight. I have no personal experience with electric groupsets. How does the cable diameter compare to a traditional mechanical cable? I imagine thinner (I don’t imagine they need a very thick gauge of wire) but just guessing.

Hi all,
I am new here but been reading for a while trying to orientate myself. I would like to build a Gravel bike that tries to replicate something close to the Canyon Grizl. From my research it looks like the SPCycles G068 might be close to that from what I see but open to feedback. I have some generic questions and specific... I haven't built a bike for many years so lots of things have changed.
Here goes...
- How do I know if I need cassette or crank spacers?
- Anything I am missing here or putting together that is stupid?
- Any suggestions over and above the G068 in terms of "Grizl like" nature? I looked at plenty but with so many choices its hard to know if I missed something.
Apologies if I should have started a new thread specific to this set of questions. Thanks in advance and below is the pick list I came up with so far (and thanks to those who published their build lists to give me a starting point to narrow things down).
