But does this not change chain line substancially?

Dear Community,

I have a Canyon GRIZL gravel bike with a mechanical 1x11 Shimano GRX. I would like to upgrade the bike with an powermeter - however not willing to spend a fortune From what I understood, most power meters including cranksets are fitted for road bikes and their BB and not for gravel. What would be a cheap option for a reliable PM?

Thank you very much in advance!

Best regards,
Freddy

Did anyone replace the bolts and axles on their X68?

as some of my bolt start to rust (especially fork clamp) I was thinking about replacing at least some. Can I use the genuine bolts?

Hi all, thank you very much for the feedback so far. I am already in daily contact with Sarah from Tarstone.

What is your experience regarding sizing? According to the website I should be an XL with bein 180 , 85kg and a quite athletic build. Any other recommendations?

Dear fellows,

a topic is crossing my mind every now and then as I get deeper into the cycling rabbit hole: are there any well established sellers that do custom kits in small quantities? Would love to design and rock a jersey with a couple of friends.However, quantity would most likely be <10.

Best regards,
Freddy

As of now, I am kinda glad I did not wait for the FM126 and went with another frame instead...

Build is complete and has the first 500km on it. So far really happy with it and how the build (my first) went. No major challenges besides rear caliper facing.

Wondering if there is any need for spacer with this frame in combination with the ULTEGRA BBR60 68mm BSA BB and the ULTEGRA FC-R8100. So far I did not use any...and it seems to be working fine.

So I just got my frame delivered, took quite a while during the holidays in germany. Do you need some Screw measurements or did you receive yours now?
Quite happy with mine, the paintjob looks really good, just the brake mounts are sprayed over quite a bit.

The adapter for front brake is not good, one counterbore is way too deep so I can't use it. You guys reckon Tantan will send me a replacement or just don't bother and get it somewhere else?

Mine is there as well, thank you!

Yeah, Then it's the seatpost wedge bolt+derailleur hanger bolt, maybe the seatpost bolts themselves, but they're not corroding on my bike. Maybe the preload bolt for the headset, that's Standard M6.

If you had any links/diemnsions this would be highly appreciated

My plan was to exchange all relevant bolts of the X68 to higher grade (Ti) bolts.

I want to replace some screws with Ti-Screws. My frame didn't arrive yet, I can send you dimensions when I get the frame. So excited, since it's the first bike I'll build.
Anybody know if the frame comes with Di2 battery holder?

Pretty much in the same situation. Frame is on its way to me and I am trying to get everything ready in advance for a smooth build

Anyone knows which bolt dimensions are needed for an SL8/X68?

Another question sorry - as some people seem to have stripped some of the screws provided with the frame, I am planning on upgrading. Is there any list on the screws dimensions etc. so I could purchase them in advance?

As my frame is currently on route to me: any recommendations regarding a good Wahoo Mount?

Anything else worth upgrading?

Thx
