Frame for mix road/gravel use possible - SPcycle g056 build

[hsaus]

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.

My frame didn't come with a grommet for the rear brake hose exit hole, and the shape of the exit hole suggests that one isn't used. I got two sets of derailleur cable exit hole grommets though, one set for mechanical shifting and one set for electronic shifting.

Edit: Fix typo

[Ludo]

Ah that may be why then! I must be using the one for the mechanical shifting!
The brake hose is rather a lose fit more than press fit in the frame, I may just put some black silicone to seal that a bit better
Still waiting on seat post and a couple more stuff as well as my tools than I loaned to a friend to really speed things up. Dry fitting everything right now

[rasch]

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

are those the frame spacers and hb? Doesn't look like a proper fit.

I'm thinking of getting one of these for me too.

[Ludo]

No, I went for syncros creston copy, a bit of a gamble. The fit won’t be perfect but I think it will be acceptable once I get the compression ring machined to remove the 1.5-2mm gap
If I was to redo I would get a more generic/universal handlebar set up…

  Is this the compression ring that came with the frame or the bar ? I bought a Creston bar as well and the ring that came with it was noticeably thicker than the one that came with the frame. I ended up using the one that came with the frame.

[Ludo]

I tried both and both are thick

We appear to have two separate threads for this frame. I'm also looking for a better headset compression ring, using the one supplied with the frame for now.

Linking my build report here for visibility and so we can better share what we find: https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,3739.msg65794.html#msg65794

Of the two sets of spacers I tried with my bar neither looked right on mine either. I think the only real solution is custom printing some for the 50mm head tube. The Creston bar is made for a Scott. I went back to the Roval bar on my bike which (IMO) looks perfect.

I also plan to do a build based on that frame and would love to get you input on the specs below. Did i miss something/ anything wrong/ what could be improved? It will be my first build ever  so any feedback is much appreciated!

looks like a solid built sheet. Using seat post and handlebar from  frame supplier? not a bad choice.

my plan right now:
machine the compression ring
put set screws between comression ring and top cover to move cover back as far as possible (around 1mm to be gained I think) and get a better alignement between the front opf the head tube and the headset cover
file as needed headeset spacers to have a good alignement betwee various spacer in the stack (probablu the headset cover and the 2 thisckiest spacers will be used)

once this is done I think the visual result will be good or at least good enough

thanks for the fast response. Yes I would get the complete set from Spycle, I hope to have the least hassle.

I woukd strongly advice going wider tires. I'm on gravel since we rode 30c tires on it (yeah not kidding) and now with sp cycle I run 44c tufo thundero HD and damn those are fast. I can assure You that fat tire with low rolling resistance like tufo or conti terra speed would be faster and better then those 35/38c tires.

dit. GOOOOO TUBELESS! effetto maripossa caffelatex is my sealant of choice

Appreciate the feedback! I‘ll use the bike primarily for commute with 90% tarmac (not the best) and pavement and 10 percent gravel roads. On the weekends I want to be able to do light gravel. Would you still advise wider tires?

Yes. I do a lot of city riding on my gravel and short trainings around the city and they are mainly on hard surfaces. I got few KOMs on road with my setup. Minimum you should go is 40 really. But 45 is really killing it.
