Yes you are right, that's the crown race. I finally figured it out how to put everything together. I was confused as the orignal information from the seller was misleading, but finally we got it sorted out. He was helpful and quick to reply (surprised store).
So for everyone how has the same headset. The compression-ring is the one in the attached picture. It looks different than the one's I have seen here, thats why I didn't make the connection immediately.

I tried telling you that ;) Happy to see you making good progress on the assembly, close to riding the bike now :)

It's a bit difficult to answer without clear references to items in your pictures, but ill give it a go.

Additionally i couldn't figure out the following:
- what are the two metal rings for, that came with the headset bearings?
* shims i would assume, if you have problems with binding betweend the headset and the frame, add spacers :)
- What is the strange toothshape o-ring for that came with the headset spacers?
* If you are refering to the smaller object in picture with the scale? that's the wedge that fits beween the upper bearing and the steerer tube.
- what are the additional parts with the bb for? My Lingmai does not have these?
* Shims/spacers once again + reducer and wawy washer for SRAM/GXP stuff?

If you have a separate stem, I prefer stem computer mounts over the bar attached computer mount. This OGEVKIN CF stem computer mount is good...if it's not a lemon. I bought 3 of them. 2 work fine, but 1 had a bad garmin mount attachment which cracked. It's hit or miss.

OGEVIN mount:

A word of warning on those mounts, you need to be careful when assembling it and put washers and spacers in the right order. A friend of mine made a misstake with that type of mount and had a hair-rasing :o experience when the handlebar started rotating in the stem on a fast, twisty and bumpy decent.

Are you running electronic or mechanical groupset? Just wondering how it is to run 4 housing through the headtube/headset
I'm running a 11speed di2, so just two hydraulic hoses and a di2 wire through the integrated handlebar and headset. I did a mechanical 105 for a friend on a similar headset/stem, routing and cutting was a PITA and the tight bends affected the shift performance.

Maybe going with external routing on handlebar & headset in combination with the external headset shim/adapter improves routing?

Hello, I am considering this frame (from Spcycle or Velobuild) and have some question about integrated headset.
In previous messages i've read something about issues on fork due to some compression component on the headset.
if someone has buoght recently this frame, do you had similar issues?
Thanks
I bought mine from ceccotti,  no issues with the headset during assembly and everything feels ok on the garage floor, still some (winter) time until I can do a proper shakedown ride.

Did the direct mount hanger make any difference compared to the normal one?

This is my winter build, we still have +1m of snow and -30C last weekend, a lot warmer 0C this weekend but still a month or two before outdoor season so no testrides yet.

My reasoning is, less joints = better shifting performance.
Probably marginal, and mostly a fixed idea on my part

I've put down a order on this frame during the 11.11 sales, do any one know if there is a directmount compatible RD-hanger available for this frameset?

Answering my self here., I got it right on the second attempt/order of a directmount hanger, so this is a buying tip for those of you with compatible RD:s and an interest going the directmount route.

I orderd https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005946829585.html?gps-id=pcStoreJustForYou&scm=1007.23125.137358.0&scm_id=1007.23125.137358.0&scm-url=1007.23125.137358.0&pvid=4f84ad9f-55e6-41d2-92bd-72a29fbd4629&_t=gps-id:pcStoreJustForYou,scm-url:1007.23125.137358.0,pvid:4f84ad9f-55e6-41d2-92bd-72a29fbd4629,tpp_buckets:668%232846%238110%231995&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21SEK%21472.80%2189.80%21%21%2144.49%218.45%21%402101e58b17085265557644453e9815%2112000034975814437%21rec%21SE%21173424834%21&spm=a2g0o.store_pc_home.smartJustForYou_2004123779662.1005005946829585

You'll probably have to copy the link text and paste into your browser to get to the product, this bord does things with pasted links.

...

The only problem I still have is that the cover for the fork shaft is twisted. Does anyone have any ideas on how to change this?

There's usually some guiding pins and corresponding holes in the headset parts, i would release the handlebar and headset bolts separate slightly, check that all allignment pins and holes intact and carfully reassemble making sure the allignment is correct when applying preassure on the headset.

I picked up a pair of  620ml "Redshift" bottles ca a year ago, they had a "silicon dioxide coating" equvialent of brandname "Purist" bottles.
They keep the water tasting good but the cap may be a bit a leaky if they lay flat. However i cant find them an Ali anymore, and iv'e been looking for other bottles with silicon dioxide, so i hope there is someone out there that kan give us a pointer to a good bottle.

Light catching my carbon rim showing a yellowish discoloration. Is this something to worry about?

Is it a tubless setup? I'm thinking maybe some leaked tubeless goo in the tire/rim interface?

Sorry, this is for a gravel bike!

I'm running a non boost carbon XC wheelset on my gravel bike, ca 1450gr/pair i25/ext33 wide and 35mm high.
Picked them up at a sale in a local retailer for ~$100 a few years back, pretty good wheels for that money.

The aerogains of higprofile on a gravel wheelset is debatable, but i'm not blind to the bling factor of a high profile wheelset :).

What kind of profile are you looking for?
Could a lightwieght XC-rim/wheel be an alternative or do you want a higher "aero" profile?
