Re: Airwolf YFR068 - 2023 Gravel Frame
Quote from: Sakizashi on October 05, 2023, 11:03:06 PM
I know I am new-ish around here and there is a lot more acceptance of replica frames here than in other places. However, I don't really understand the point of adding a UCI logo to non-approved frame unless the point was go beyond adding the Cervelo logo on the HT to convince people that this is a real Aspero 5 or convince a race judge that this is an approved frame for use somewhere.

In general, I love the idea and geometry of this frameset. It's too bad IMO that they copied the downsides of this frameset along side the good things. I would have loved to see an aggressive gravel race bike like this or an all-road bike that used a round tube steerer, 52mm bearings lower and upper and a t47BB, either an asymmetric one or a normal one.

Bro chill out. Fuck UCI, this sticker means nothing even if it is original. It tells nothing about the quality of the frame, it's not like some iso certificate or something. In order to get it frame producer, just needs to pay to this greedy organization and the frame dimensions need to be within UCI rules. They don't care about the quality, just about their rules.

Anyway, gravel scene hates UCI and wants to stay away from this corrupt body as much as they can, so that's the bigger reason for not putting this sticker on the frame. But if the owner wants to do it? It is his choice mate, because this frame checks all to boxes of the rules. The manufacturer just did not pay the bribe. It's not like he is putting fake specialized, cervelo, trek sticker.

Re: Airwolf YFR068 - 2023 Gravel Frame I just shortened the steerer tube and installed the entire thing. It fits nicely and there's no rubbing or any play. Fork rotates as intended.

One thing I want to point out. The expander plug did not fit correctly, after tightening it was quite off-center, which made it impossible to slide the stem over the steerer tube. I took a vice and trimmed some material from the most top part of the expander plug (which sits on top of the steerer tube). By doing this, the radius got smaller and was able to assemble the cockpit. Took about 30min to complete the job. Very happy with the result.

Re: Airwolf YFR068 - 2023 Gravel Frame I had the chance to take this bike for a little spin last week and I ended up doing a 75km testride. This bike is just fantastic, not sure what else I can say. Comfortable, yet responsive and no noticable weaknesses.

For this build I decided to go for a mullet setup which I still need to get used to. Somewhat overrated for the area where I live. Everything is flat as a pancake and coming from a roadie, this setup doesn't go fast enough to my likings. Might change to a SRAM XPLR setup to see which one works better for me.

Parts list:
Frameset:Airwolf YFR068
Handlebars:Airwolf HB001 42mm
Stem:Cervelo ST32 90mm
Handlebar tape:BBB Cycling BHT-14 FlexRibbon
Computer mount:No name
Shifters:SRAM Force eTap AXS HRD Shift-Brake System | ED-FRC-D1
Seatpost:Cervelo SP19
Bottle cages:King cage stainless steel
Saddle:Fizik Antares R3 Versus EVO
Crankset:SRAM Force D1 Power meter crankset
Chainring:SRAM X-Sync 42t chainring
Bottom bracket:SRAM DUB PressFit30 Road 79 mm BBRight
Rear derailleur:SRAM GX Eagle AXS 12 speed
Cassette:SRAM XG-1275 GX Eagle 12 speed 10-50t Cassette
Rims:No name UD matte carbon rims, 39/44mm height, 31mm width hookless

Re: LTWOO eGR Used my eGR for the Cheaha Challenge in Alabama this weekend. 100mi with lots of shifting because it was 9300ft of climbing. Shifted 2,323 times and spent an embarrassing number of hours on the bike (first time doing a century AND first time doing anything even remotely close to that much climbing), but the battery dropped 27% (from 100% to 73%). I'm officially no longer worried about battery life of this setup. Now to throw some real gravel riding at it, since this was all road riding...

Thanks for that info.

On the Venge and SL7, it uses the same size bearing at the top and bottom of the head tube - is it the same with this frame?

Yes, exactly the same. Both bearings are the same for this frame also.

Re: Airwolf YFR068 - 2023 Gravel Frame I've changed the bearings with these:

Fushi Acb495h6.5  - 49.5x40.5x6.5

That and the compression ring from the sl7 solved all my issues.

Thanks! That's very interesting, and obviously different to OEM Aspero which uses two different sized bearings.

This forum, and this thread, has been so useful, I'd be hitting my head against the wall if I tried to go alone with it.

There are few different things between this frame and OEM Aspero:
- Headset bearings and compression ring are different. Specialized ones can be fitted.
- Rear wheel through axle thread on frame is different. Cervelo has a independent nut and Airwolf thread is built on the frame itself. Same construction as specialized frame.
- Rear derailleur hanger is different. You can install specialized disc frames hanger. I installed a specialized direct mount hanger for the GRX Di2.
- Airwolf frame lacks bottle cage threads on the downside of downtube.
- Airwolf frame lacks frame protectoron on the downtube.
- Airwolf doesn´t provide front brake adaptor that must be fitted if you use different position on front wheel axle (trail mixer). I don´t know if Cervelo adapter would be compatible.

Rest of the frame I think that it is one to one with Aspero.

Can anyone recommend a good ali 1x crankset that would marry well with the eGR groupset?

Also - I've read in this thread about replacing the calipers with something like the ZRACE XG flat mounts. Is this necessary or will the adaptors that come with it suit a flat mount gravel frame?

Thanks!

The calipers WITH PROVIDED ADAPTERS should fit flat mount. I cannot confirm 100% as I'd been told they'd fit my post mount (they do not). But they look right for flat mount.  It's worth noting that the caliper itself does not and fits no standard I know of (room for things I've missed), but the adapter is provided to make work. 

I have more detail here: https://trbike.blogspot.com/2024/05/ltwoo-egr-results-writeup.html

Are you wanting fancy bling or simple and practical.

Senicx cranks have a good reputation for durability and quality.
There's a bunch of new carbon cranks coming out as well.
