Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / LightCarbon Gravel bike build
« on: May 21, 2026, 05:48:27 PM »
Hello, I recently decided to try and build myself a bike. I did some research on various parts etc to try and put together something that should work but I still have some worries, specifically I am 180cm tall but have a small inseam of only 79cm. I am also a heavier rider at around 95-100kg. The wheelset and frame are rated at 120kg max, but people have warned me that it's still a lot of pressure on the bike and that I should consider going wider on the wheels and tires.
Any advice, did I mess anything up while researching the build?
