One think the Onirii has is a 165mm option... given it's within 50g of the Raceworks, I am tempted to buy the 165mm Onirii, I'm just suprised by and holding off due to the price difference.  It's seems to be almost 2x the price of the Raceworks, can anyone justify the higher price for the Onirii? I don't know much about either brand

What I really want is a lightweight, affordable carbon 1x crank with spider power meter.

Here are the details from my invoice, these are the hooked rims, tubeless ready but take clinchers.  For a gravel/touring bike I wanted this flexibility of tyre choice.

• SC-28WHD3545AC
• 28mm external wide / 21mm internal wide / 35mm front 45mm rear carbon asym disc brake
• road tubeless clincher wheelset
• UD matte, 24/24h, external, SL
• Chosen 8526/8527 hubs, straight pull, center lock, 12x100mm / 12x142mm, Shimano 11s
• Sapim CX-Ray spokes with Sapim polyax secure lock alloy nipples

Note that the vendor was super responsive, both on email and skype. There is a thread where Speeder responsiveness hasn't been perfect, but I hear this happens when they don't have stock and can't help.... so I guess understand this, or just ask them to respond and tell you they can't supply in the short term if this is the case.

I bought a couple of sets of bars from Aliexpress, one 12 degree and one 25 degree flare.  The wide bars were Zniino carbon 25 degree flare and 220g, the bar was too thin for my comfort and I couldn't stop the shifters from slipping down, even with carbon paste.  I also got the Uno F12 bars (12 degree) Alloy bars at 290g.... I preferred the Uno but in the end I went ultra wide with some half price Ritchey Beacon bars (alloy but only 270g)... I used this site to look at options, then tried to find the cheapest offer from anywhere including Aliexpress COMPLETE LIST OF GRAVEL BARS AND A GUIDE TO FLARED DROP BARS.

I also opted for 4.5mm bar tape for extra comfort, no complaints. I prefer the Alloy bar, with thick bar tape.. just more ability to tighten shifters and have confidence in the strength of the bars when rattling over rough terrain at speed.

Do you think you'll still have enough room for an internal dropper cable with the BSA?

No, not enough room to get the cable through, I took it to a shop and they couldn't do it.  I have the dropper post from Wiggle, I just can't fit it.

There is a very slim chance it will fit, I may try again, but it's extremely tight and unlikely. The last time I spent an hour just trying to get the cable through before giving up.

I've just had some wheels arrive from Speeder.  Justin was responsive both on Skype and email throughout. I was super happy with the communications

My Speeder wheels arrived today, they look very clean from the outside, I'm not expert and will not be looking inside with a camera.

I've set them up tubeless already with no problems. Haven't ridden them yet, looks like I need to align my disk pads.

Interestingly, I went for 35mm front and 45mm rear with Sapim spokes and an expected weight of 1,330g.  The wheels without rim tape weigh 1,279g, surprised they were under but not complaining.

Now to find out why the disk pads are rubbing, I'm new to disk brakes and thought the alignment would be exactly the same between wheels.  The front is perfect, the back is rubbing.

Overall experience so far has been great, communications were great via Skype and email. then shipping was fine, took about a week from China to Australia. Looking forward to testing the wheels, hopefully at the weekend.

Speeder get my thumbs up, lucky because it was a bit of a gamble on a company I hadn't heard of until recently.

....Full weight with GP5000 28mm and TPU inner tubes 1619g.

That is crazy light, tyres and tubes must be 550g, making the wheels just ~1,070g.

I've gone with Speeder Cycling wheels direct which are a similar weight, but I was anticipating a full weight with tyres of close to 1,900g

I wanted a gravel/touring frame.  Spent a bit more money and got a Titanium frame from Waltly.  I love it, running 650b x 47 & 50mm tyres.  Suitable for medium speed roadie group rides and gravel/fire trail riding. Will be a super touring bike when I get some 700 wheels (on order from Speeder Cycling)  Again, cost more than a Chinese carbon frame, but should last a long time, and still much less expensive than from a local Titanium bike brand
