Its good to invest in good bottom bracket bearings as well, but just to be clear, I am talking about headset bearings. If thats included in your "premium" option, then you are all set.

what is the difference? sorry im new i really have no idea

Bottom bracket ones make your crankset go around, and the headset ones allow you to steer.

There’s plenty, eg. Enduro bearings, CEMA is pretty good as well.

I have no idea how good they are long term, but I recently went with these: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32866452267.html. All I wanted is something that has good reviews and is stainless steel, and these ones tick both boxes. Note though, that you might need bearings with different dimensions from mine for your frame.

I don't know much about bearings though, so it might be a good idea to follow advice from a previous post to make sure you buy quality.

For example, they have a full Di2 105 available for fairly cheap: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005024569017.html

You can also use coupons on AliExpress, which is going to make this even cheaper.

For me that groupset is around 900€ with shipping, i found in One shop for 900 and in another for 950, are they prices that high that is not worth it?

If you are in the EU, I think buying Shimano from AliX is not worth it most of the time. Just buy local so you also have warranty.

I can recommend this one as a headset: https://www.kugellager-shop.net/mh-p16-ss-45-45-edelstahl-lenkkopf-kugellager-52x40x7mm.html . They are made of stainless steel, not specifically bike branded, and therefore a little cheaper.

When it comes to bottom brackets, I would be careful with premium ceramic ones costing 85€ from china. I would also go for something robust and reliable, without ceramic bearings, which may be better and cheaper. Take a look at Bikone, which Pogi also uses, so it must be good.

Hello again guys, I am building my bike sjnce the last time I wrote here I researched a lot and changed a lot of things and I am strongly considering being my final build, please take a look and let me know
For the frame I have chosen the Elves Falath Evo+, I took advantage of the bundle that they had and will buy the saddle of 145mm and the handlebar for around 1122€.
For the wheels I chose the Xm Carbon Speed T1100, 26 mm internal with the front wheel being 50mm and the rear 65mm for 783€ with the Big Bore Lite Tubeless Valves for around 45€.
For the groupset I will go for the Shimano 105 DI2 for 840+/- thanks to the Elves promotion of buying a groupset with the frame.
For the tires I opt to go tubeless with the GP5000S TR 30" and use the sealent from muc off
For handlebar tape I chose the Supacaz Super Sticky Kush Star Fade Bar Tape to match the design of the frame
For acessories I will buy for now a Jagwire so the cables dont make a lot of noise, the Shimano brake fluid(ofc)
This build will cost me around 3100€, which I think is a pretty solid number for the type of bike.

What do you guys think?🤩🤩🤩

I used this Aliexpress store for my Shimano Ultrgra DI2 and it has been great!
