Re: XM Carbon Speed - "Gran Tourismo" Frameset

If Peter forced me to get these ugly ass decals, I'd buy another frame.
The only scenario where I'd get that branding is if I didn't pay for the frame in the first place.
Then again I'm wired weird, I'm getting jerseys with a #FREEHARVEY logo across the chest and other stupidities sprinkled throughout.

what do you mean mandatory? You're saying Peter won't sell you a frame WITHOUT logos? That would be a first. I spent thousands on both wheels and frames w him, never had any logo. I dont buy stuff w logos.

Since we are esteblishing our own brand stuff, if some day, people recognize our company/ brand, will you think it is still #FREEHEAVY ？ Why did you get those TRACTOR decals if you don't recognize FACTOR? Yes, you spent thousands dollars on our products, but I offered you discounts on most of your orders, right ? And you know about our GR01 gravel frameset very well, now I am doing my own design frameset, instead of jobs like GR01 frameset, sometimes with full of pains, without any gain.

Haha, just kidding, you guys can go with the frameset unpainted with no decals for sure. But I hope more guys choose them with our logos because of recognizing us, just like those guys order wheels with our logos. I know we are doing the right things, just need more time to make people to accept/ recognize us.

Re: ICAN FL1 My FL1 arrived today!
I was expecting it next week based on the shipping tracking website but suddenly got a call from a delivery guy and box showed up. Still waiting for the Carbon Speed wheels they apparently are taking a tour of all the European capital cities.

The build is going to be 40/50mm carbon speed wheels, 11 speed ultegra mechanical, Magene P515 power meter and since I only have mountains going up surrounding my house a big for road bikes 11-40 cluster.

Re: 130mm -17deg integrated stem options I'd think about an Uno stem with an internal routing adapter

Re: 130mm -17deg integrated stem options You also have a Darimo stem but you can get it max 120 for -17° https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005009540823846.html

Re: Magene P505 & T47 Clearance The test here is... does it spin without hitting the frame? On my Ican FL1 with the new P515 the meter was just barely touching when I adjusted the preload... so I added a very thin shim which moved over the meter about 0.1mm (one of those wavey washers would be perfect) and problem solved.

2nd thing you want to look at is if the chainline is lined up. basically the center of the front chainring should line up with the center of the cluster.. a tiny bit off, thing will work, significantly off shifting gets wonky. but using normal components.. everything should work right. which is why adding excessive shims will push the chainline off.

Put it all together and see if the crank moves freely or if it is rubbing on the frame. From the picture it isn't what will happen when it is assembled.
The FD probably will handle move over 1mm.. but that may be push the whole chain line a bit off center.. so keep the shims as small as possible

Re: Magene P505 & T47 Clearance under power, that's probably gonna rub, but you can still put it all together and try it out, ideally on a trainer where the frame is forced to flex more.

Re: XMCS: 2026 Aero and Allround road frames I am planning to be at Sea Otter 2026 in April for video coverage and correspondent. Full YouTuber gooner and slop. Can't wait.

Peter should be there too with a booth, so I'm pretty sure he'll have his 2026 lineup on hand. Super keen to see the new aero frame.

I'll definitely cover his booth and get an interview with Peter.

Re: Shimano R7170 tuning You can not shift on levers when the groupset is connected.

For shifting when connected, you have to go in the maintenance/ adjusting mode in the app. And click in the app.

They said this about the Mira frame:
"We have full confidence in the Mira's build quality and paintwork.
But when it came to geometry, we lacked a clear direction, so we drew inspiration from the Cervelo S5."
🤣

At least they are honest LOL

Re: Your "I am an idiot" moment? I measured steering tube for cutting after I removed the stem...
