What kind of solutions do you have in mind? The frame comes with a little zipper bag that fits into the compartment. That's a very practical solution. I'll post some pics tomorrow.

I saw some posts on a different thread but I can’t remember where. It was a 3d printed insert that connected to the fidlock some how

Here's some pics. The storage solutions works very well.

I have them. I am the owner of the purple FM336 that you can find in previous pages of this thread and in reddit. I have done 600km with those wheels (G-One RS + Vittoria Airliners) They are indestructible so far. I have had a fall where I ate a tree that was laying on the ground and I didn't see, and the wheel ate like nothing. Spokes kept the tension and the rim has no damage. I have eaten potholes because I didn't see them while chatting with my ride-pal and nothing. They weight 1390+- GR, 30mm IW, 36mm EW, 50 mm deep.

It took one week and a half for delivery (Germany). Production time, I don't know. Maybe the setup you want is already in stock. You must contact them through WhatsApp to know further information.

Finally I went for the serenade in 45mm, let see how good they are.
For the tyre, I made the move with RS 45mm on the back and R 50mm on the front. Have removed the screw from the bottom of the fork anyway. As the intermediate R pro block doesn't look that high, I've finally made up my mind.

I asked you if you could measured tyres clearance in vertical but since I did not want to wait more I went for that. If I see it too risky I will mount them anyway in my wifes gravel

Wondering what handlebars folks have installed.  I prefer flared out for gravel.  I just ordered my frame and I enquired to Jack about their handlebar and he said their handlebar was "no good"  ;D

Lexon Unox on ali about all I can find but they are pricey and I've heard there are cracking issues

Thanks

I didn't want to go all integrated, so I ordered this Kocelvo aero gravel handlebar (https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256812005160618.html) along with their integrated stem from this listing (https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256810091223158.html). I'm a little concerned about the amount of flare on the bars (would prefer 10-15 degrees) but after a lot of searching these seemed the most promising for 440mm carbon bars.

Should be able to provide feedback in about a month once I receive the frame and get it built.

I pulled the trigger for the Lexon unox at the end.
I read also quite positive opinions about it. I think it will be a matter of mounting it carefully and not overtightened it. will keep you post it in case I face any issue there

I'll give a chance to the mondince handlebar. Is the same as many other manufacturers so I trust in the performance, but I'm a little bit scary with those type of components coming from China...

After read about lexon cracking i went for this one. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005010320677123.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.20.233218028xIhpl
cabling are hidden under the handlebar. Realy easy :-)
I did have to grind down the clamp to thigten it.

Mine cracked after tightening to 5 nm with a torque wrench. I am not a novice bike builder either. After further investigation, there were pits in the carbon that led to fair hairline cracks.

They refused to send a replacement but gave me a discount on a replacement.

If I had to do it again, I would go with avian.

you're an influencer now, i received my serenade wheels today after your initial post.

I hope you are satisfied with them! It's always a bit of gamble. At the end of the day, it's my personal experience! I am glad I am "influencing" people" in that way.

Let see when I mount it. 5nm is actually not much, so if carbon cracks at that torque of course something is wrong.
I will inspect in purpose it before mounting, just in case

BTW today I managed to finally mount the tyres.

As mentioned, I went for R Pro 50mm at front (with more knob height than RS) and RS Pro 45mm on the rear.
See pictures attached to check clearance. Have removed the screw from bottom of the fork arc and covered it with tape.
