Spcycle New Mold G056 Carbon Gravel Frame

[peterpanpeter]

Just get the coat hanger and fish that cable out. That's my last resort tool for issues like this.

For future reference, if a chain stay and BB area has ample room, I would just use the plastic cable sleeve to guide the RD cable through. For the RF25/G056 frame, I don't even think I bothered with the magnetic cable tool.

I was using the white plastic cable to guide the shifter cable but the it couldn't pass through. I thought there was a weird bend so tried from the other way (from the bb) and it got stuck.

Yes, the frame is compromised. Ship it to me, so I can properly dispose of it! 

Well, not sure you'd be so eager after seeing this I'm quite concerned. Is it just the paint, or could the bottom bracket shell be coming loose? I took a photo two weeks ago and another today, and it definitely looks worse.
The good news is that I haven't heard any crackling noises coming from that area.

Damn; that looks weird to say the least. The bottom bracket bearings are tightened well? Can you find any movement / play in the shell?

First, good job not marring the T47 BB shell! Second, yeah that paint looks like a**. I had slight paint chips from mine, but mainly due to my slopping BB tightening skills. Luckily I just used white touch up paint (for cars) to fix that.

Seriously, I much prefer external cup bearings. Easier to manage and very little impact to the paint area. Also I don't notice any performance difference between my BB86, threaded BSA, T47 or pressfit setups.

Can I ask if you have an update about this issue?
I have a Spcycle fravel frame (G058) with t47 bb and I'm scared about this problems.
How long do you have the frame (years, km,...)?
Thanks

Still enjoying my G056 . Bike did really good on our 3 day fast pace bikepacking with the boys.

 Loving mine as well. Did a 5 hour gravel ride the other day and it worked flawless.

The longer one is not intended for larger cassettes, but is instead for Shimano direct mount (https://wheelsmfg.com/blog/standard-mount-vs-direct-mount-derailleur-hangers.html), so that shadow-style derailleurs can be mounted without the B-link. I ordered one for my G056, but I haven't installed it yet.

I have a Ltwoo GRT with a 10-50 cassette and the derailleur won't clear the biggest cogs even with b-screw maxed out so I'm guessing I need a direct mount hanger too. Where did you buy yours?

This was linked before but it's like €35. Is that price really correct? I was thinking about getting a spare hanger too but that's €70 for two small pieces of metal.

It should clear. I'm running mechanical GR9 with Ultegra 11 speed shifters and it easily clears 50t with lots of B screw still exposed. Is it a chain length issue perhaps?

Hi, has anyone paired this frame with PES P515 power meter? My Inpeak 105-based PM rubs against the frame and needs at least 3mm spacer. It's too much, and the crank arm would eventually break.

Here it is! My first bike build ever

Ceccotti RF 25 in size L, chameleon glossy paint, 7.85 kg (without pedals) x 1380 €

I've been sourcing parts from months, waiting for offers and price drops, as well as doing a lot of reading and studying, and I'm now really satisfied with how it turned out, and how much I learnt in the process.
I wasn't fast as I never did anything similar, but I had no major problems, just a few things that demanded their fair amount of time: above all sanding down the compression ring (it left a thick gap above the frame) and cleaning the bottom bracket threads from paint overspray.

I am trying to install the same stem but the brake cables and the shifting cable housings are so stiff that I can't get the stem over. How did you do that?

I am trying to install the same stem but the brake cables and the shifting cable housings are so stiff that I can't get the stem over. How did you do that?

Brute force 

Of course without the cables in.

With one hand I kept the housings folded down as much as I could, then I installed the stem and pushed it down as low as it would go. Once I could get it close enough it used the small screw below the last spacer to bring the stem further down, and then I tightened the top cap screw to bring it all the way down.
Once the housings take the initial bend it gets easier, then it's a matter of pushing through expecially the brake cables. For the front brake I had to open the way from the caliper end with a shifter cable first, only then I was able to push the brake cable through the bend at the stem.

Be aware that by mistake I folded the small lip inside the last spacer, the one that divides the housings between left and right side. Avoid that as there's not enough height to have it below a cable, I had to remove the stem to lift it and then install it again.

Thank you! I managed to get the headset on. I am making good progress but I am now kinda stuck on the shifting.
The rear derailleur is installed and properly aligned but the front derailleur is a pain to align. I am using a LTWOO RX groupset with a 50-34T crank. When I align the sticker with the large disk the derailleurs front is rubbing against the large disk. I attached photos of that issue.
Do you know how I can resolve that?

[jeffrey]

Looks like it's too further, is it maybe tilted with the back towards the outside?
I followed the instructions for my 105 (downloaded the manual from Shimano website) and had no particular problem with the FD

What exactly do you mean by "tilted with the back towards the outside"? The FD can swivel and has hight adjustment but I can't tilt it.
