I've already installed all four cables into the frame, and the front derailleur is deliberately routed around the lower bottom bracket area. It sits neatly in there, but it's not really fixed in place. I hope that once it's finished, it won't affect the front derailleur settings while riding. This is the current status.
The assembly seems very interesting....what wheels are they? Saddle?

I had also ordered the Toseek handlebar that you intend to mount for my Cervélo R3 (rim), but I returned it because it was too wide on the top.

As for the stem, on the R3 I mount this one from Decathlon: little expense and great aesthetic result, even if it weighs a little more than the UNO stem (150gr for 110mm):

Hi everybody,

so far I have been a silent reader, thanks to everybody sharing their experience with the frame. Inspired by your reports an a test ride on a "real" SL8 I ordered the frame on March 24 which was shipped on April 8/9 and arrived today (April 15) in Germany. So far everything looks good, the frame was packed very well and the box was not damaged. I will post some photos later.

I'd be curious to see the outside and inside thru-axle stops...if it's not too much trouble, could you post some photos?

Thanks

Hi all, wondering if anyone can tell me the correct front thru axle specification or one someone's bought with a handle? My frame arrived and looking to replace both thru axles with handle design versions. The front thru axle on mine does not come with spec written on it. Thanks a lot.

There are no specs on my front thru axle either.

Long time lurker first time poster!

Any of the US folks that ordered the frame stuck in customs or being affected by the trade wars happening right now? I ordered the frame on March 17th, shipped Apr 7th and from the looks of the tracking it states "due to high demand, shipments are taking longer than usual...". I'm wondering due to all the tariffs, the frame is being held in China?

I asked SP Cycle and they said it's a 'special axle'

Does anybody know the max. torque at the seat post clamp? There is hothing written on my clamp.

I asked David and he told me "seatpost clamp Recommended locking torque 6~8NM"

For those who already received the frame, how long did it take to arrive after shipping?
My tracking currently says "Awaiting a connecting flight."
Does that mean it's almost here?

Cargo planes sometime land in two or three destinations where the package is unloaded and loaded onto another plane.
Sometime it may site there for a couple of day until it is reloaded. most people are quoted up to 3 weeks for delivery

My frame was obviously shipped the same day as yours, but connecting flights were not necessary. Interestingly, I did not see any update on the status until the day of delivery.

Am I the only one that has a hard time screwing the rear thru axle in and out? I did torque the udh to specs. I can the the threaded portion of the axle become shinier everytime I take it on and off.

Hi, does anybody know the length of the bolts needed to install Sram brake calipers (front and rear)?

Edit: I already figured 15mm front and 32mm rear.
