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.



  • Frameset: LightCarbon LCG071S-PRO (52cm, UD Black Matte, T47 BB, incl. 100mm stem, seatpost, fork, and thru-axles)
  • Wheelset: LightCarbon 40mm Carbon (26mm inner width, Ceramic bearings, 36T Ratchet, HG Freehub, Centerlock)
  • Groupset: Wheeltop GeX (12-speed Wireless)
  • Crankset: Senicx GR3
  • Bottom Bracket: ZTTO T47-24i
  • Cassette: Sunshine 12-Speed (11-50T, HG Spline)
  • Chain: Shimano XT CN-M8100 (12-speed, 138-Link, w/ Quick Link)
  • Rotors: 2x Shimano RT-CL800 Ice-Tech (160mm, Internal Serration)
  • Handlebar: PRO Discover 20 Gravel (44cm, 31.8mm clamp)
  • Pedals: Shimano PD-EH500 Explorer (Hybrid: SPD/Flat)
  • Tires: 2x Tufo Gravel Thundero HD (700x44c, Skinwall, Tubeless-ready)

Any advice, did I mess anything up while researching the build?
