order to go down to a 10t cassette.
10t cog is not that efficient. Quadratish, not praktish, not good. :)

These are the reasons I went Wheeltop, I intend to upgrade one wheelset to 12sp and leave the other as 11sp.
There are aftermarket cassete options for 12sp that will work on your 11sp HG freehub.  You dont have to buy new wheels for that.

That begs the question… who is the original? We should from them! Lol.

You want them to be known, so Specialized could force close them?  ;D

How do you know of this?

Because they are identical. In evey detail, including hardware supplied with the frame. These stores in Ali, are reselleres.

R15 Pro, with WheelTop road set, is 1040 USD. The WheelTop itself is 700 USD on the website or AliX.

Yeah, it's mind blowing. I have no Idea how they do that: full carbon bike including wheels, electronic shifting and integrated carbon handleber for just above 1000 USD... I see no reason to buy this without a complete bike.

I have Twitter Gravel X, that come with GeX EDS for only 1,2k USD for a whole bike.

It works fine with 13 and 12sp cassetes using 13sp SUMC chain. But i was only been able to test it on a direct drive trainer yet.

I dont see any difference how it shifts(fine) compared to my MTB SRAM AXS.

I always use a bunch of anti-seize on the BB threads so really hoping I can get the BB to thread back out once it cures as I need to switch from 24mm Shimano to SRAM DUB.
I was riding repaired BSA inserts for 1,5 month, including races. No signs of damage, and I was able to unscrew BB cups without any problems later on. After 1,5months I had to split frame apart, because they've sent me the replacement front triange.

i think it was here already

But I found this holes in the frame
I do have the same holes in my frame. It's for the water to come out of the frame.

Alright, I think it’s happening to me. When i hold my front brake and stand on the pedals I am getting some pretty loud creaking. Got any advice for now? Safe to keep riding? I get a squeak whenever I pedal with power.

Remove the cranks and inspect for cracks... Anyway, you have to remove BSA alloy insert from the frame to be able to glue it back. Mine just felt off when i was trying to unscrew BB caps.

1. 65мм tyres clearance is a must.
2. Modern 66,5 HTA and 76 STA
3. Smaller sizes should be able to fit two bottles.
4. As short as possible headtube lengh.

Idea is to be able to downsize it and use with dropbars and 65mm tyres (vittoria mezcal 2.6, are real 65mm)

I'm using these calipers with Shimano XT levers, and I'm happy so far(3 months of use). 4pot infront, 2pot rear. I use original BS05 shimano pads for rear brake and COOMA pink (ceramic) infront.

Resing BS05 pads bites earlier and have less modulation than pink cearamic. Overall, i think this calipers are good for XC. The levers are ergonomically and aesthetically bad, i dont like them at all.
