Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Chinese frame inside the bars / stem/ headset shifting?
« on: November 08, 2021, 08:12:49 PM »
How is mechanical Shimano shifting with the full internal routing of cables through bar/stem/headset of the popular Chinese carbon gravel frames.  Are there extra kinks that result in poor shifting, or is it only the headache of routing that is of any concern?

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Dura ace 9100 & Pioneer power meter clearance
« on: November 08, 2021, 08:00:47 PM »
Hi Folks,
        I just got my second Dura Ace 9100 Pioneer power meter (50/34) ring for what I want to be a 15lb gravel bike build.  On my aluminum cross frame the power meter box on the left crankarm interferes by about 5mm unless I do ill advised spacers to widen the crank (not really focused on that frame anyway).

       Can anyone tell me if the popular Chinese gravel frames (notably GR042 / GR043/ GR039 / LGC071s) have clearance for a Dura Ace Pioneer power meter left crank arm and enough q factor for the crank ends to clear the chainstays?

       I am looking for a frame under 1000g with a near 400g fork and 54-55cm top tube, 42mm min tire clearance, preferably dropped stays, and 65-70mm BB drop (not so interested in GR039 56mm drop).  Any recommendations?
