Spcycle New Mold G056 Carbon Gravel Frame

[Ultramic]

I'm wondering about how long brake hoses I need for my build. Anyone remember the length of their brake hoses? I'm thinking about size S or XS for reference.

For my Large build, I needed 1000/1700mm length as the standard length was too short. You might be able to get away with standard length for a X or XS.

For a 180cm tall person, with a usual saddle height of 77-78 cm, would you suggest a M or a L?
I'm kinda looking for the unreachable combo short reach+tall stack
(My current road bike ha almost the same geometry as the size M, I'd need a slightly taller stack but then I'm concerned about the longer reach)

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.

Thanks! I just shoot the bikes in my backyard against an old fence! The RF25/G056 is a really slack frame. I can ride this setup all day and not feel fatigued. In fact I had to get a longer stem because I was too upright. It really excels in climbing. I had some people think it was a MTB frame converted for gravel. Though if I could change one thing, I wish it had UDH just for the added flexibility and future proofing. Everything else works great.

Did anyone buy the Ceccotti gravel handlebar? Or the SpCycle Gravelbar? how are they?

[jonathanf2]

I now wish this frame came with UDH. I had the dumbest fall while unclipping on a single track trail and fell into some grass and dirt! My eGR RD was okay, but my RF25/G056 RD hanger bent. I had to limp back home riding my 7th-8th gear, luckily I didn't have any major hills to climb.

I ended up overnighting a hanger alignment tool to myself since I'm currently traveling with my bike and left my spare hanger at home. Having a proprietary RD hanger sucks and makes me a bit paranoid about getting another bend while out in the field. Also the alignment tool isn't the most practical thing to travel with. If this happened while on a camping trip or out in the sticks, I'd be screwed.

Yeah, having a UDH is the only thing I wish was different on this bike.  Although, that reminds me that I should put the spare hanger in my saddle bag.

All fixed and shifting smoothly!

 Did you find one locally ? Twice I had to order one form China. On the second occasion I got 2 just in case. Yes I am rough with the bike LOL.

I overnighted a hanger alignment tool and bent it back. I have a spare, but now I think I should have ordered 2 more hangers!

  I ordered an original direct from SP Cycle but I read on weight weenies a while ago and someone found a longer one to accommodate a bigger cassette. Currently I have a XPLR rear mech and a ZTTO 46t cassette as a 1x. Working great, so far so good except for breaking 2 hangars so far LOL

Did you actually snap the hangers? I found a listing which also lists all the frames that use the same hanger:

 The first one I was able to get sort-of straight and the second snapped when I moved it back - the original was thicker than either of the replacements I bought.  Thanks for the link, I bought mine right from SP Cycle for a couple dollars more than the link you posted. I was able to select the bike from their list. Still love the bike, it's a great do everything bike albeit a bit heavy ~20lbs all on the road.

I ordered another spare hanger last week (3 total for me), and thankfully it shipped (prior to AliEx US price increases)! I'm surprised your bike is 20lbs. Mine clocks in anywhere between 7.6kg and 8.3kg and it only depends on which tires I'm using. If I were running full mechanical, I think I could get it sub 7.5kg.
