nice build! would a 2.35 fit in the rear? I only tried with 2.1 Thunderburts (WAM 55mm on 27mm internal rims) and there is still a good amount of clearance.

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure if it's possible. If it does fit, the clearance would be right on the absolute limit, maybe too tight to be safe.
To give you guys some context, mounted on my 32mm internal width rims:
The front tire (Maxxis Rekon Race 2.35") actually measures 62.6 mm.
The rear tire (Maxxis Ikon 2.20") actually measures 58.3 mm.
As you can see in the pictures, the 2.20" already leaves a somewhat tight gap at the chainstays. Putting a 2.35" there would add over 2mm to each side, leaving almost no room for mud or wheel flex under load.

Hi everyone, after gathering all the parts, my Spcycle G028 build is finally assembled! I wanted to build a fast but capable gravel/monster cross bike, and I am absolutely thrilled with how aggressive it looks.
The only detail left is the chainring. I need to change it to a 0mm offset one because right now I am running 3mm of spacers on the crank spindle to make it fit, and I want to remove them. Other than that, she is ready to roll!
Here is the full build breakdown:

Frame: Spcycle G028 Carbon (Size S, Matte Black)
Wheels: CSC Carbon 50mm depth, 32mm internal width
Tires: Maxxis Rekon Race 2.35" 120 TPI (Front) / Maxxis Ikon 2.20" 60 TPI (Rear)
Shifters & Brakes: SRAM Rival AXS E1 (standard SRAM pads)
Rear Derailleur: SRAM S-1000 AXS T-Type 12-speed
Cassette: 10-50T 12-speed
Chain: KMC X-Flat Waxed 12-speed
Powermeter & Cranks: GEOID PM500 (165mm)
Bottom Bracket: Spcycle T47-24mm Ceramic
Chainring: Wuzei 44T (currently 3mm offset)
Handlebar: Kocevlo Carbon 380mm
Stem: Platt Alloy 80mm (-6 degrees)
Bar Tape: Standard silicone wrap
Seatpost: Toseek Carbon 27.2mm
Saddle: Balugoe Carbon (Specialized Power 143 replica)
Pedals: Shimano Deore XT
Bottle Cages: Standard alloy cages

I've attached a picture of the final setup. Let me know what you guys think!

I reached out to spcycle to get the official torque specifications for the frame/components, so I'm sharing them here in case it helps anyone with their build or maintenance:

Seatpost Clamp: 6 N·m
Compression Plug (Expander): 12 – 15 N·m
T47 Bottom Bracket: 25 – 40 N·m

Hope this is useful

Hi everyone,
My Spcycle G028 is painted and ready to ship. I asked the seller for pictures of the head tube area and noticed the transition to raw carbon on the fork looks a bit rough around the routing hole.
I know some roughness is normal with these cheap carbon frames, and honestly, it looks much better than other horror stories I've seen here on the forum. Still, I wanted to get your eyes on it before giving the green light.
Does it look acceptable to you? Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I'm currently waiting for my Spcycle G028 frame to arrive and I'd like to ask a few quick questions to those who have already built it:
1. Which stem with internal cable routing are you using?
2. How are you routing the cables, and what headset bearings are you using for this setup?
3. Have you experienced any significant issues with the stock bearings that come with the frame?
Thanks in advance for your help!
