Re: Frame req? (Aero, dropped SS, high stack, short reach) Paris-Roubaix was won on 32mm tires this year. Even if your local roads are not fantastic, they will be still better than some nasty cobblestone sections.

Re: Xiamen Carbon Speed 10 years anniversary special promotion First road race of the year. The 100km course has a few (wet & gnarly) gravel sectors, so I went with 32c GP5000 STR which stretches to 34mm at the rim. Carbon spokes is manageable on gravel but not ideal. Even with cushy tires.

Currently at my best fitness ever. NP 235w which is 3.2wkg for 3 hours and 15 minutes. Doesn't really matter though because my both bike handling and tactics are awful. Out of place early, and got dropped by the much stronger Cat 1/2 dudes about 45 minutes into the race. Ah well on to the next one...

I have the new 1-piece handlebars from Peter in hand. They feel quite robust, and the finishing is good. I never really liked the EXS Aerover bars personally.

Re: Carbonspeed CS-GR01 gravel frame build thread
I finally had to time to build up the GR01 frame. It was not without its headaches such as being sent the wrong headset bearings from a retailer here in Canada.

The issues that I had with the frame was:
1. The rear chainstay from the brake line probably wasn't super clean, I didn't have an endoscope to look but I ended up "flossing" it with routing cables and the brake hose went through well afterwards.
2. The headset has a huge gap. I used the FSA headset Peter recommended in terms of bearings but the compression ring is really thick and sticks out significantly as seen in the picture. I welcome any recommendations for solving this issue as I see other frames are fine. This is the headset I used:

Otherwise the bottom bracket threads were good. The carbon layup in terms of visuals is nice. It is a nice responsive ride, cross winds are sketchy but thats my fault for riding in 40kmph+ gusts. It is nice to be running a mullet setup with the UDH compatibility. As always dealing with Peter is a pleasant experience.

You can use the headset cover and the compression ring from AliExpress – it's a copy of the ACR headset. This way, you'll only have a minimal gap left."
