BXT SL-115

[Stubbie Blue]

Do think this could have enough clearance for a 35mm gravel tire?

I have a 700x30c (32mm actual width) tire in the photos and it's already getting close at the front fork. So I'd say 32mm is the max.

Did a few upgrades:
- EliteWheels Edge 50mm deep, 1,362g for both.
- GP 5000 700x28c tires, 250g each.
- Magene PES P515 Power Meter, 165mm cranks with Ultegra R8100 52-36T chainrings, 784g total.

Bike now weighs 8.08kg/17.81 lb with Shimano PD-M520 pedals (380g) and all bottle cages and mounts.

Added some decals

You put a brand name on the down tube when the actual brand name is clearly visible on the top tube. Why?

[Stubbie Blue]

Chill out guys. It's my bike, and I'll do whatever I want with it.

Was much better without the decals, they look extra fake. And illegal. If you want decals consider making something unique to you, it's much nicer.

I've wondered about getting "Specialised" but in the Specialized font.

I've wondered about getting "Specialised" but in the Specialized font.

British spelling right? Shouldn't be too hard to copy and paste the first S instead of the Z. Or you could just buy 2 sets of decals and cut them up yourself.

[Tpower59]

I would maybe then write Specializt in the Specialized font.
Or, as i've suggested before, ASS-WORKS in S-WORKS font. Now that would be proper trolling.

I prefered the « T-Werks » option

Are the BXT ROAD-115 and SL-115 the same product? Both model numbers are listed on the Alibaba page.

If there is a difference between them, what is it?

I think they are the same.

[Marcello Casati]

This is also my impression. The weights on the BXT homepage are not consistent; e.g. Model 155 is mentioned as 900 or 990 gr., but if you look at the detailled description, it is 900 gr.
My BXT SL-115 was real 1'000 gr in size M with the derailleur hangers and the screws for the bottle cages.

I purchased the BXT SL-115 and received it recently. The part shown in the attached image was not included — is that normal? Also, I’m not sure where the part in the second image should go between the front fork and the frame. Please help me. Thank you very much.

First picture is the Cring, you need it
Second picture is the race crown, goes between your fork and the lower headset bearing.

1st picture is the compression C-ring, or BXT calls it a "Fixing Ring" in the picture I attached. Yes, you need it. Just make sure it's not stuck in the "115 Cover" above it.

The 2nd picture is the crown race, or BXT calls it the "Base" and you put it on the fork under the bottom headset bearing.

Thanks for the info! I’ll assemble it according to that photo. Really appreciate it!
