 SWEET ! My frame arrived in 12 days and my wheels were 2 months from Elite LOL

Starting building stuff as parts show up:

More parts, evosid crankset with 46T chainring, might be a bit too much for my wimpy legs, we’ll see

Make sure you fucking *torque* this thing. It's gonna feel like you're over-torqueing, it calls for like 54nm, which most garage mechanics can't accurately measure.

I've installed 2 of these and both required me to go further than I have on other cranksets to remove any lateral creaking on load.

Thanks for the tip! I usually works on cars so I have the proper torq wrench for this but it did surprise me, might be interesting to find the way to hold the bike to torq this puppy!

 Naw, with that 50t cassette you have better than 1:1 so climbing is gonna be great and you will still get good speed on pavement.

That's rad - would actually love to hear back about how close to the recommended torque you get! I've put some muscle into it to get it to fit in, but not sure what I'm actually torqued at.

Can you have a look at the hub and see if it's same as Goldix 240SL? Am looking to buy same CSC hub but wanna make sure spare parts are available...

[Ludo]

I asked CSC for info on spare parts

I dont think it's same as Goldix, the machining for the disc mating surfaces are very different

Frame just arrived, paint job looks really good, only some extra build up on brake mounts face that needs to be cleaned up.
T47 thread look really clean too.

I just finished building up a bike using this frame, hit me up if you have any questions. Mainly for commuting but I can easily switch out the tyres for gravel use.

I just recently finished a G056 build for my wife, now considering one for myself.
I was wondering: did you mange to fit the 46T chainring on your bike? No problem with getting too close to the chainstay etc.?

On my wife's build it looks extremely close with a Sram Rival 40T. Might be due to the smaller size (XS)?

Also, how did you get the custom paint job done? Did you just order via their homepage and tell them what you want?

Would love to hear back from you!

I simply ordered on AliExpress and asked them for color mix, as long as it’s one of their main color they are ok with it, no extra cost.
I was travelling for the last couple of weeks, just got into the build last night. I was planning on running brakes hose and shift cable tonight so I should be able to do a quick test fit of the crankset

[Ludo]

Slow progress, little time to work on it last night, and need to fix an issue with headset/spacers, gap is ginormous!
I guess I need to get the compression ring machined down…
Inside of the frame seems clean, hose/cable housing slide in without issue. Rubber grommet for the rear brake hose exit hole, no idea how to push it I place, the hose/grommet combinaison seems way too big to me. Messed with it for 15mins last night and gave up
Drive side of the T47 BB frame shell needed cleaning and it’s a bit tricky to get the BB outer shell to engage, but it fits, eventually
