Thanks!
Another (hopefully the last) question: I plan to install on the rear and front 160mm brake discs. Do I need 140->160mm adapters?

Frame is ready to ship and got a QA video from Jack earlier (screengrab below).  Looks good I think!

Got the same video also on thursday - the color differs slightly for me, but this is most likely due to the lighting conditions, camera, and my display.
Have you received a shipping link yet?

Nice, what colour did you go for? I’ve gone with a colour from another frame order I saw on Reddit:

Went for Pantone 454C. Curious how it turns out in the end, really difficult to find a color on non-calibrated displays.

Have taken a punt and ordered a frame Mondince. Will keep the thread updated on progress!

Did the same today, also delivery time was shorter than the other three vendors. Hope our bikes don't get mixed up  ;)

Mondince is now the cheapest option (570$ incl. painting and paypal excl. shipping)

Unfortunately TanTan added now a PayPal payment fee of 41.95 USD....
I'm currently favoring ltbikes (faster delivery and cheaper) but I'm also confuse why they are only using T800 instead of a combination? The weigth seems to be identical

Small update on the weight, without the handlebar itself though.

Total weight of the Aero Bar is 628.6 g, the complete indicated weight from SP incl. the Bar is 950 g.
Therefore, I assume the handlebar is ~ 350 g as mentioned above.

I'm wondering if the Canyon Aero Groove Bar is compatibel with this handelbar (I already have it the Canyon solution). Would it be possible the you measure the distance of the two bolts and the area of the adapter?

LongTeng doesn't include a handlebar right? While it is included at TanTan

Component Deals & Selection / Re: Magene P515 PES Spider Powermeter

Just got a gravel bike with 1x GRX.

I have read that some use the P515/P505 and it works, but can someone explain to me what I need to know to make it work and what the consequences are?

Off the top of my head, I need to buy the PM crankset without chainrings and then get some special chainring that adjusts the chainline?
Can I achieve the same chainline position as stock GRX? If not, what's the difference?

If I currently have room for 48T chainring, is there a way to approximate what chainring size will fit? I'm OK with maxing out on 46T but 44T is a little limiting for certain conditions (keeping up with the fast riders with 2x systems on asphalt sections).

Also I guess Q-factor will be affected, but I can live with that if I go long axle pedals/MTB pedals and a couple washers.

How did it turn out for you? I also want to install a Grx 1x drivetrain and am currently looking for a suitable chainring. What did you use?

Does anyone run a GRX 1x setup with a Magene PES P515 powermeter? I'm going for this frame and just sourcing all other components. I'm a little bit confused, as sometimes an offset is mentioned to improve the chainline. I'm not sure if I just can get this chainring https://pq-bike.com/products/pass-quest-r110bcd-round-road-bike-narrow-wide-chainring-36t-58t-bike-chainwheel-ultegra-r7000-r8000-da9100-1?variant=36519305150626 or if I will run into problems?
And related to the frame, does a 44T chainring fit?

EDIT: Seems some guys in here have a 44T chainring, however no GRX setup, hope it has a neglectable impact. I want to go for 44T and 11-51 cassette

Thinking about buying the AR XRLP ( https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005009786441645.html ) instead of the Elite Gravel Aero Plus Wheels. Any drawbacks? Can I replace the bearings/ratchet if needed?
