Does anyone know if a WIDE SRAM crank is required to run a 50t chainring on the ER:ONE? The chainstays are shorter than what SRAM recommends for a WIDE crank, but I’m worried about chainstay clearance. Thanks!

Are you running 1x or 2x? I run a regular sram red e1 dub crank (not wide) with a 50t 1x chainring and there's plenty of clearance. I used a 3mm right side spacer as recommended by sram: https://www.sram.com/globalassets/document-hierarchy/compatibility-map/road/dub-choose-a-road-bottom-bracket-compatibility-map.pdf

Legion runs 54t 1x chain rings on their QuickPros. I doubt they are using wide.

You should be using a standard crank with a 45mm chainline for 13-speed setups with a chainstay of 405-415mm. The correct documentation is here: https://www.sram.com/globalassets/document-hierarchy/frame-fit-specifications/road/2024-road-frame-fit-specifications.pdf See page 21.

For 12-speed you can use standard or wide for any bike with stays longer than 395mm (see page 20).

Right, but what has me worried is that I have seen that some people have built up this frame with a WIDE crank, even though it is not what SRAM recommends given the length of the chainstays. I'm worried that there might be issues with the ring clearing the chainstay with the standard crank. I was hoping someone has tried this and could verify that it is OK.

I run 52T with normal road crank, no issue.

Has anyone come across a negative offset seat post for the ER one?

The fairlight drop best road adapter fits it allows 26mm extra movement forward.

Hey Patrick,

Thanks for responding! I watch your channel and really enjoy your content covering the eastern brands.

Unfortunately, I'm what they call a "manlet," so I don't get those cool-looking bike proportions. One thing that is different about this bike is the relatively high amount of stack compared to other bikes in this size.

I also refuse to get integrated bars. I don't see the point of spending hundreds of dollars for a couple of watts and a huge service headache. That being said, I still have some flexibility to play with the fit and can mess around with different stem angles to fine-tune my position.

I used to be a bike shop rat and I'm just getting back into riding/racing after a +10-year break. My all-time favorite bike was the Tarmac, but I'm really hoping this ER:One will surprise me and get me excited to ride even more. I'm not as fast as I used to be, that's pretty obvious in my race results this year, so there's a good chance you'd beat me up on climbs and drop me on the flats. I'm just chasing the dragon of my youth.

What did you install as a top spacer to route the cables externally? I am collecting parts for my friend who wants to build Quick Pro but for now it is better to get separate cheaper cockpit as he is coming from a bike that is a bit too small for him.

How do you guys rate the ER:One in comparison with "western" bikes such as Merida Reacto CF3 and Giant Propel Avdanced ?

Those bikes can be purchased in Europe for about 2900€ with 105 Di2 and alloy wheels (especially the Reacto, while the Propel is a bit more expensive). I currently ride a titanium bike (Reilly) with 105 Di2 and 45mm wheels from LightCarbon.

The idea is to buy an aero bike with 105 Di2 (no need for Ultegra or Dura-Ace) and 60 or 65mm wheels (23 o 24mm internal, steel spokes). For the moment I am planning to keep the titanium bike. I do not necessarily need a complete bike, because I have all the tools and knowledge to build the bike from the frameset (that is what I did with my titanium bike, wheels included starting from LB rims and DT hubs).

€2,900 including wheels? That seems like a great price to me. Consider that the ER:One on QuickProUSA is around $4,000, which is about €3,500.

It’s a different story if you build it yourself and already have the handlebars and wheels. In that case, you’re looking at something close to €2,500.

Especially if you already have wheels, like in my case, I’d mainly be looking to upgrade the frame. Since I already have all the components, the investment would be minimal, especially considering the Elite Wheels I already own https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005007516932880.html

Merida Reacto 5000, 2027 (the new version): about 2900-3000€ with 105 Di2. But: no carbon wheels, no carbon/integrated handlebar, sub-optimal tires (Continental Grand Prix), pressfit BB, only 66mm BB drop, steeper head angle (73.5 vs 73).
I prefer QuickPro's geometry. 105 Di2 groupset costs about 900€, so that's about 2600€ total (1700 frame and 900 groupset). There's margin for handlebar and tires...wheels must be upgraded anyway (my current 45mm wheels are heavy and a bit narrow).

Keep in my it's lower grade Reacto and Propel, which is substantially heavier than ER

Yes, this is another thing I forgot to mention. Those frames are easily 150g heavier than the QuickPro, especially considering that I prefer the UD glossy finish (meaning no paint, less weight).

In fact, the main alternative that I am considering is the new XMCS VRT. It costs the same and it might be technically a bit better (even better geometry for my use case for instance).
