Hello everyone,

I am currently also planning the assembly of an G028 and have decided on the following setup:

Rear-Derailleur:   - GX Eagle AXS Transmission
Cassette:          - XS-1270 10-52
Chain:             - Sram GX Eagle T-Type Flattop
Crankset:          - Sram Force D2 DUB Wide crankset
Chainring:         - Wuzei 44t
BB:                - Sram DUB Wide T47 85.5mm
Wheels:            - CSC 50mm with a 32mm inner width (41mm outer)
Brake levers:      - Sram Red D1
Calipers:          - Sram Red D1
Cockpit (likley):  - YICHORD 25mm Riser Bar 380x95mm (Ali) (Does anybody has experience with the handlebar already?)
Seatpost:          - ELITAONE 27,2mm Carbon Seatpost (Ali)
Tires:             - Schwalbe Thunder Burt 2.25
Saddle:            - Ryet 3D Carbon Honey Womb 143mm

Now, for the detailed planning, I have a few questions for those of you who already own a G028:

- How wide is the chainstay at the mounting points for the rear brake? I'm wondering what screw length fits here for   my Red brake calipers including the adapter for 160mm

- With a height of 192 cm and an inseam of 88 cm, I clearly fall into the range for frame size XL. However, since I am planning on a rather sporty look and a fast position anyway, and also find 'smaller' frames more aesthetic, there are still quite a few arguments for size L in my opinion. Maybe there are some tall riders among you who can help me with this point.

- Is there any difference with tariffs when ordering via Ali? On the SPCycle-Website the Frame is 638 USD including shipping, tariffs and metallic paint job. Right now on AliExpress its quit cheaper but even though shipping is almost 180 USD, there's a notification that tariffs might need to be paid still.

I'd be super happy for some helpful comments on this one !
Cheers,
Elias
