The Kocevlo cockpit is on the short list, but I’m not sure if it will fit mechanically shifting
it does fit mechanical shifting. Scott has 1-1/4 inch steering tube so it won't fit

Finally got my hands on the wheelset and so far I'm happy with it. 65mm rim with 26mm internal with in-house hubs and pillar 1420 spokes weight just under 1500g. The paintless finish looks fantastic. 30mm Schwalbe Pro one measures around 33mm and sits flush with the rim
After using this wheelset for hundreds of kilometers, I'm quite happy with the wheels overall. There's one drawback however worth mentioning. I use my tires tubeless and when deflated, the bead tends to unseat probably due to the width of the rim. It might not be a problem for most but since I travel a lot with my bike on the plane and you are always required to deflate the tires that's quite annoying. Once unseated the sealant starts leaking and you have to seat your tire at the destination and I don't carry a floor pump with me. I'll try adding a bit more sealant and hope it will glue the bead in place.

Ican graro is quite close in terms of looks. Geo does not match exactly but it's somewhat comparable https://icancycling.com/products/gravel-bike-frame-graro?variant=47452162294038

Changed over to MyWhoosh from IndieVelo with the impending changeover spring 2025.

What's the deal with the ERG on MyWhoosh?  It seems to barely function for me no matter how I connect my power meter and Saris H3 smart trainer.
I have problems with ERG sometimes and I also use Saris H3. For me it only happens if you connect a trainer and leave it idle for some time before actually starting a training. The app registers power but erg does not work. I reconnect the trainer when that happens and erg starts working

Did anyone install eGR on a bike with a dropper post? where did you put the battery?
I know there are downtube mounts with a battery installed through the opening under the bb but I don't have that opening in the frame,
The only solution that comes to mind is to just bubble wrap the battery and put it inside of the seat tube once the dropper cable is routed

I had to return the crankset. The problem metioned earlier about the cranks seizing up the bb was happening on 3 different bikes with 3 different bbs. ztto threaded pressfit and token ninja would seize up completely even without the preload ring installed. On shimano bb92 pressfit bb the crank was still moving but was very tight, definitely overloading the bearing.
I think it's either the axle that's too short or the actual material of the axle is too soft so when it's toruqed correctly, the driveside crankarm sits deeper on the splines that it should.

Is there any way to reassign shifter buttons? I want to set the rear shifter to change into a harder gear with a small paddle and easier gear with a big one but it looks like you can only swap shifters between rd and fd in the app and nothing more

Anyone know if this frame is UDH compatible?
Their newest frame says it is and the dropout looks the same, although on their website it doesn't list UDH for this specific frameset.
It's not

jep, that doesn't help either.
The problem is, even when on touch is off, that you can trim on the big and small chainring but you CAN't "un"trim. You have to go to the other chainring and then back to get out of the trim position.
that said, i don't have any solution to offer.
It does help. I had it in one touch mode or whaever it's called. Once in the normal mode you can trim both ways using upshift button on big ring or downshift on the small ring.
The confusing part is that you can't actually trim back and forth when using the same gear in the back. When you are on a larger sprockets on the cassette you click upshift and it moves the front derailleur closer to the frame. Once you've done that you can't  "untrim" unless you shift to a harder gear in the back

11
I feel stupid asking about it but can anyone explain how to use the front derailleur?
Both front shifter buttons do exactly the same thing: they loop through four derailleur positions (small -> trim -> large -> trim -> small -> trim, etc.). Even if I alternate between buttons, I still end up running through this loop.
But how do I move back from the trim position? Let's say I'm in a big ring and I shifted to a larger sprocket on the cassette and I wanted to trim the derailleur. I press any button on the shifter and it trims but then if I shift to a harder gear on the cassette and I want to move the front derailleur to the most outbound position. I can't do it since no matter which button I press it shifts to a small ring from the trim position

65s from Peter? what do they say on the scale?

These are their new ultra wide rims (26mm internal) with their in-house hubs and pillar 1420 spokes weight is 1498g

My build is ready.
Built with ltwoo er9 groupset and wheels from Peter
Weight with pedals and bottle cages is 7.7kg which is not the lightest but considering the size and a very deep rims it's not too bad. I originally installed riro carbon cranks but the chainrings  turned out to be warped so I'm waiting for a replacement to arrive. With riro cranks the weight is getting close to 7.5kg

I installed these cranks today and I think I know the reason they were seizing up for some people. Its because of the flawed preload ring desing(the one on the non drive side). Its too wide so when I tried to preload the bearings with it, it was contacting the bb shell instead of the bearings effectively seizing up the crank.I've put a 0.5mm pastic spacer betweet the preload ring and the bb so that this spacer is pushing on the bearings when I adjust the preload. I use BB92 pressfit bb.
