Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: New Gravel Frame Ican Graro
« on: Today at 03:49:24 PM »I would contact Ican, it looks like they they fitted a 105 to Graro in the picture.
I fitted a 50-34 with a rotor 3d chainset and power2max PM, that has a chain line of 43.5 so I've added 6mm of spacers although I think I could get away with 4mm.
I was also able to fit 52-36 chainrings but there the height of the front derailleur was a couple of mm to low so I bought one of these adapters to give me the height I need as I intend to use the Graro for road time trials over the summer.

I reached out to Ican and got a quick reply and you are right, only the latest generation 105 crankset from the Shimano Road Crankset portfolio will work apparently.
Should have just calculated it before, but the 86mm (or 85,5) BB Shell + the 2mm per side from the BB adds up to 90mm width. And since the Ultegra Axle lengt between crankarms is just 90mm there is no room to put additinal spacers. Now I am undecided if I will go with GRX after all or try with the 105.
