Built one up

That combination works perfect. I am running X01 T-type derailleur, GX T-type casette, GX T-type chain, SRAM DUB BB, Sram Wide Road Rival Crankset.
I had the same concerns with chainline, but some of it is fixes itself as a road/gravel rear axle is 142mm while a MTB is 148mm.
So the chainline difference is "just" around 4,5mm in reality and the shifting is absolutely flawless. Can backpedal in all gears.

Have attached a few pictures from different stages of the build process.
Have had it on the road a few times but still haven't decided on stem height :D


It’s good to know you have a good chain line with a sram wide crankset. I have a similar build in the works with a wide crankset and the red xplr direct mount RD.

I've finally built my frame. I'll post a few photos and impressions of the build shortly. Did my first ride today, I have an r8170 rear brake calliper with a 140mm disc. I've now noticed that the pad or the calliper is too far away, so the pad only grips about 75% of the brake disc. Has anyone noticed this yet?

It sounds like the 140mm rotor is it too small and you need a 160mm

thank you, how is the gap between the frame and the headset cover? im worried about having too much or too little of a gap

I’ve ordered a TanTan GR201 and chose to run a Ritchey integrated headset that will fit the frame’s 52mm headset bearings. My questions is…
Does anyone know the top bearing insertion depth?
Ritchey recommends 8.7mm for a close fit. I’m assuming any deeper and the headset cover will contact the frame.
The frame is still in the mail for another couple weeks at least, just trying to avoid potential problems with the build.
Thank you!
