And in the meantime they released a new frame, not on their social tho, could be ai?

The spirit of Gravil lives on

I thought this was more info on the bike, I think we should have a rule about posting random AI slop.

Tavelo has 20mm rise, right?

If you go -6 and have 25mm rise + 12mm from the SA at 120mm, you are equivalent of 37mm spacers. That's becoming quite a lot and will lead to a much more upright position. The gravel handlebar actually has -8 if you're looking for an alternative.

Besides; I'm getting a pretty big volume of people asking when they can order the riser road bar. It seems to have hit a nice spot.

You are right I didnt realize that XMCS one is 25mm rise. I think I messed up the measurements as I typed out my response quickly.

a normal -10 bar is 8mm lower than a -6 bar at 120mm. I am assuming the point of the bar is to have less spacers hence the rise. Currently if you want the most stack without a rise setup you get a -6 bar. Therefore your gain in stack is already 8mm behind. With 25mm of extra stack and -10 that means you gain 17mm of rise.

I feel like anyone would appreciate an extra 8mm of rise on some chinese frames like the ER one. 25mm of extra stack would mean you could easily just slam the stem for a cleaner look.

has the mold for the riser bars been made? I think a lot of the feedback I have seen on them is why would you have a -10 degree stem with 20mm of rise when you could probably go -6 degrees and gain another 12mm at 120mm length? Hopefully Peter may be able to change that.

Otherwise you are competing with the Tavelo Rise for the same market space with exact dimensions.

Has anyone been able to find a handle bar similar to the new Merida Reacto gullwing bar and stem? It is listed as the CW 1P and is made by vision but I have not been able to find anything similar online.  It is quite new and I think stuff should show up eventually.

I would love to see a true all rounder frame some day. Something like the envy fray or aspero-5 that has clearance for 40 - 42mm tires, 415-420mm chain stay and decent geometry and I think it would be a winning combination for an all road bike. Just look at how popular the LCR018-D is on the forum.

Looking at the geo charts of the two bikes they are very similar and I imagine someone looking for a bike may be hard pressed to choose between one or the other. I imagine this would eat into each bikes target consumer.

Hi.

I would.like to know if someone feel any speed wooble with Xiamen carbon speed with depth bigger than 50mm when descending straight with crosswind or sidewind and speed more than 50-60kmh. Lets said how they feel with such conditions.

I have a pair of 50mm 28iw rims on an all road bike. Crosswinds and speedwobbles are constant. It may be the rims or it may be the bike but I have not had the chance to play around with either. my 40mm 26iw rims on my road bike feel much more stable. both wheels are XMCS.

I'm interested in getting this frame. Any tyre clearance issues running a 2x front mech? can you still clear a 45mm rear?

I would just message Peter directly on whatsapp he is usually pretty responsve.

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:
https://www.tradeinn.com/bikeinn/en/fsa-n55r-1-1-8-36-45--integrated-headset/138502170/p?utm_source=google_products&utm_medium=merchant&id_producte=14737909&country=ca&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22604584944&gbraid=0AAAAADvzHL-KtqYr2gl0JArwzm6aIBqiM&gclid=CjwKCAjw-svEBhB6EiwAEzSdrt47Rj0e6IqHPnT4u52FEArI91xAfKYPHP_3CeShccwhYDWeM7T9YhoCpYYQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds


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.

Does the frame have UDH hanger?

Yes

This one looks really aero: the headtube is massive xD

https://www.velobuildmall.com/products/2026-vb-r-368-carbon-fiber-aero-road-bike-frame-disc-brake


32 C clearance, T47 bottom bracket, weight 1100 for M [ouchy?]

The 1100g for medium is sort of acceptable for an aero frame considering the Factor Monza is quoted at 1100 in a size 54

Tchonky boi, I likes!

Similarly, this one popped up on another thread yesterday: https://mondincecycle.com/product/2026_aero_design_t1000_carbon_fiber_road_bike_frame_fm126.html

It looks like the numbers in terms of the frame are a little different though. The Mondince says that it clears 40mm wheels vs 32c which doesn't really make sense "T1000" layup which is probably not true since the weights look to be about the same as those specified with T800 on velobuild. 

All that to say I think its the same frame and I wonder if the Mondice frame is just far off.

I saw that in a Eurobike video it looks pretty good, comes with a lot of accessories, and you also get some deacaps for a bike if its not a standard FSA.
