TT-Bike Budget Build

[klindsey00]

one thing that worries me about power pedals is possibly not being able to swap the pedal body when it wears out. I went with a sram rival crank because it was basically the cheapest power meter you can get. (maybe a stages 105 single arm might be cheaper but idk)

The powermeters in the pedal are usually the spindles so you can just purchase new pedal bodies if they wear out.

Right, I’m just saying if you aren't able to source a new pedal body it would suck.

If you get Assioma duo Shi then you can always source new pedal bodies because Ultegra R8000 pedals are everywhere.

While it is true, I think spider-based powermeter will work better unless you have more than two bikes and want PM on all of them as it will last forever and requires zero maintenance. I know several people that have Assiomas of different fitness levels, all of them managed to destroy pedal body or brick them during an accident within 3 years. Considering how cheap some options are, one can get some common mounting option (let's say Sram 8 bolt interface) and change cranks if necessary.

On another note, Does anybody make disc brake TT disc wheels with more than an 18-21 mm internal? I see Elite wheels and Ace sprint make a disc but they are not up to "modern" standards with internal/external widths. I'd be wanting to run at least a 32 in the rear, and probably bigger than a 28 in the front but they both seem to be optimized for a 25. Was wondering if Carbon speed or somebody makes anything in the same 4-600 price range for a tt disc

HM, i am riding the below wheel for over a year now..

800-1000 is still relatively cheap, the elite velo tt disc is 700, 950 for the wheelset with an 80mm front. HED is 1300 for the low end disc, vision is 1800-5000 depending on the model for just the disc, reserve is 3500 for the whole wheelset.

Regardless, I'm trying to be on as much of a budget as I can without feeling like the bike will explode under me .

It gives no info on the Freehub and then it just says 25mm wide. Is that internal or external?

The goal would be to run 30/32mm tubeless in the end. It's quite unfortunate

i could choose whatever hub i wanted.
mine is 20.5 mm internal and 28 mm tires do fit great..

Short Update:
The frame arrived last week, and the wheelset came in this week. Quality looks amazing!! I’ve pretty much got all the parts now, but I won’t have much time over the next two weeks to finish the build. So I’ll have to see when I can put everything together. I’ll keep you posted.

How do the SRAM Wireless blips fit on the Riderever Triva? They are seems to big to fit.

Hey mate,
thanks for the heads-up, I see what you mean. They’re just resting on the three parts/corners with the threads for the screws. I sent Riderever an email — let’s see what they say. Otherwise, I’ll probably try to fill the cutouts so I can glue the SRAM eTap AXS Wireless Blips properly onto the lever. Maybe I’ll get a piece 3D printed or try to tinker something together.

I wasn’t aware this was an issue — I bought the Riderever Triva because I thought the Blips would fit. They even show a picture of it on their website. It’s a bit annoying, but not the end of the world. I’ll let you know once I figure something out.

Do you have the same setup? How did you fix it?

[Hmpf]

Hi and thanks for the reply.
I haven't solved it yet.
Maybe I can file or saw off the three corners.
I'm looking forward to an answer from riderever and hope you'll give an update.

I was just as annoyed because it was clearly visible on the website.
And the second difficulty was finding suitable olives.
The problem has now been solved BH90 fit both the lever and the saddle. Sram stealth a majig olives also fit.

The support/sales representative from Riderever was not helpful. He basically just said there are two versions of the lever: one for Di2 and one for SRAM AXS Wireless Blips. He simply told me to buy a new lever compatible with SRAM AXS Wireless Blips… (Of course, mate.)

I pointed out that there’s no mention of this distinction anywhere on their website, but he more or less ignored my email. Instead, he mentioned they have a distribution center in Belgium. I asked for the website or shop details of that center, but he hasn’t responded yet. I’m pretty sure they won’t have both lever versions listed there anyway…

So I’m just moving on from this because I don’t want to waste any more time with these guys.
I’ll fill the cutout with epoxy resin (up to the level of the 3 corners) and then glue the Blips on top. Honestly, it seems like the cheapest and easiest solution to the problem.

Any update on the build? Did it go well?
