Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: New Gravel Frame Ican Graro

How did you deal with paint overspray in the BB area? After a few spring rides (I am so happy it is finally sunny!), I've started noticing a cracking noise. I did a short investigation and it seems to be a BB-related issue. Some of the paint in the BB area has started flaking off, and I think that is likely the root cause of the issue. Do you think that sanding it down with sandpaper will be enough?

You can now get a zero-offset seatpost for this frame, as well as a fork without mounting points (as a stock option) according to a promotional mail I just received. The zero-offset post especially is a nice upgrade for anyone who is slamming their saddle forwards.
I can confirm that. Fork without bolts is now a default, and you have choice in terms of seatpost - I opted for zero-offset. There are also two lengths of seatpost you can specify.

hi,

cannot help you on the groupset question, but regarding the BB: I'm using this Miche one (https://www.bike24.de/p1896011.html), which is okay price wise and spins extremely well. So I'm very happy with it and doesn't cost a kidney.
Thanks for that advise. I followed it, but I run into (maybe silly) problem. What wrench do I need for that BB? I ordered heppe BB-T47 52.2mm-16T from ali, but it doesn't fit  :(

Edit:
In case someone else run into that issue - 49-16 tool works (I bought one from toopre on ali)

In case if there is anyone else interested in the "old school" rim brake version mine just have arrived.
R50TL-26 tubelss compatible rims / 19mm inner width / 26mm outer width rim brake rims 20/24H UD matt
Total weight 1410g
Wheels look amazing. Because of the weather, I will need to wait few more weeks to share something about the ride feel, and braking performance (my biggest worry).

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Rim brake wheelset braking performance

I would like to update my rather heavy and shallow shimano RS100 wheels with something lighter and 45-50mm deep. There are many awesome recommendations and opinions on the forum, but main focus is on the weight (obviously important factor). AFAIK (feel free to correct me if I am wrong) the breaking performance of different carbon rims might vary a lot. Can you share some recommendations that take into the account the breaking aspect?
I saw many recommendations for Xiamen Carbon Speed, but mostly for disc versions of their wheels. Do you know if the rim brake versions are equally good?
