The Tailfin replacement of the original thru axle is complicated imho.
You could just have a rod inside the thru axle.

maybe as an alternative

Hi,

I need a cheap road bike frame for my direct drive home trainer.

QR or Thru-axle.
If possible in white.

Any recommendation?

(so far I found the Airwolf YFR009 being the cheapest with US$429. https://airwolfcarbonbike.com/product/carbon-road-frame-8/)

No spacers, OEM 105 Chainrings swapped onto the Magene spider powermeter. They run close but enough clearance and no rub. Shifts perfectly.

That's a good idea and I have to check these spider powermeter from Magene also.
Could you post some pictures of the left side with the left crankset with the clearance with the frame?
That would be great. Thanks in advance!

Meanwhile I also found the 2 following frames:

- Airwolf YFR068

I posted the info on the Long Teng thread. here's my info:

-I've a Goodyear Eagle F1 700x32 tire installed, there're about 9mm clearance between the fattest part of the tire and the chain stay.

Thanks for the feedback!

Ok, so 40mm tires could work. I will most probably get this frame then.
Usage will be 50% tarmac/ 50% light gravel with in best case 40mm Schwalbe G-One allround tires.

And u needed to make w whole separate thread to ask this question... Smh

I felt that it was a very specific point regarding this frame.

And that owners of this frame will not necessarily check all post on a generic thread regarding this frame once they already built it.

And last but not least, potential builder/ buyers of this frame with the same question will not have to read all 2 billion post in a generic thread.


Anyway, thanks for your feedback. Do you own this frame?

Officially 38C max.

But what is the max in real?

I would love to use some Schwalbe G-one allround in 40mm (I have 19mm as well as 24mm rims).
Condition: no mud, light gravel stones.

What do you think? Will 40mm be possible?

can of primer, 2 cans of colour, can of top coat (one part, the cheap kind). All from local diy store. cost me, idk, 25 eur.
My conclusion: i should have ordered black from the factory and called it a day.

On the pic it doesn't look bad at all!
What is the problem?

I've been researching the same for a bit and the list can be quite long but here is a few

• LongTeng LT-301
• Peter's Grevil Clone (XMCarbon)
• Spcycle SP-G056
• Spcycel G068 Aero Carbon Gravel
• Tantan/Seraph GR201 / Tideace FM-GV201 Noah 2024 / LongTeng Gravel Frameset GV201
• YOELEO G21 DB Gravel Bike Frameset

Thanks! Will look at these now.

Hi,

Can someone point me to some frame that are in the aero style of Ridley Kanzo fast (or 3T Exploro) ?

(I already have a gravel bike for 700C/650B and I would like to make now an aero 700C gravel bike)

Thanks!
Tony
