Hi guys, looking at the frame right know.

Can you let me know the max tire width possible for a 2x setup and the max tire width possible for a 1x setup?

thanks :)

Probably already has been answered in previous posts. I run 2x and plenty of room with Thundero 48mm.

Do I have to use spacers when installing a sram dub wide rival crankset on this frame with a t47 dub road wide Bottom Bracket (00.6418.033.001)

Because i have very much Play / the axis seems to be to long

yes you do.

I haven't bothered to do anything about them, honestly. Hurried the build a bit when I had all the parts to get in some riding before riding conditions become to wet and cold ...

I did however order a bunch of black nylon bolts for all of the mounting points that I'm not using, as the stock silver ones makes the bike look kind of cheap.

Yeah i thought the stock silver ones looked cheap too, i have replaced them with Ti Oil slick.

These are the Zipp SL 80 race clones, with groove on the underside. The whole front end of the bike feels nice and stiff, but I haven't tested it with other bars and these bars are actually a tad wider than what I'm used to (36 at the hoods), so it doesn't feel too stiff either.

No issues with routing hydraulic hoses, but I needed an extra set of hands for installing the bars. I'm on SRAM AXS, so no need to route anything more. Unsure whether that would've been problematic.

What have you done with the di2 holes for the RD and FD? I havent done anything but feel i should.

Just order my frame, size XL with integrated bar. Quite tall (200cm) so had to discuss the sizing with my bike fiter. Compared to my roadbike it's quite a long and low frame, but with some extra spacers for the front that Chris kindly included we did the math and should be fine. Maybe not the most aestetic front but when you are literally several meters tall usually not how it goes anyway haha. Does anyone know if it's possible to leave some extra fork above the bar or it needs to be cut to size to be rideable?

I'm going to build it out with a 1x front and Eagle Transmission RD, paired with Rival shifters and calipers. Still deciding on chainring (probably alugear) and cassette (probably an ali one, yet to decide).

If I've done the math right for chainline a DUB wide crankset and DUB T47 BB should pair nicely. However, the sram DUB T47 BB is marked as 85.5mm wide, not 86,5. Does this still work?

Also, for future reference, according to Chris all frames are now supplied with 1.0 pitch rear axle by default.

Thanks a lot in advance,

Yes the Sram dub t47 bb does work, i thought the same and was going to get the rotor one which specifies 85.5 and 86.5 but the local mechanic said it was not an issue.

I have the SRAM one fitted with the sram wide crankset and it works great.

Hi folks
Anyone using this as a pure road bike, as I'm quite liking the thoughts of a lot longer reach than I currently have.
Cheers!

I rode this as a pure road bike all week, did still run my 48mm gravel tyres and it works great as a road bike. Absolutely rails the corners on the downhills. I will probably put road wheels on it next week and see how i go. I live in Sydney and unfortunately for gravel rides you do mostly have to drive to them.

Hi, will these bolts and the mounting plate normally be included when I purchase a set of levers/brakes (SRAM Rival in my case)? Or do I need to source it somewhere else?

No, usually not supplied as you need different plates and bolts depending on the frame. eg: you do not need a plate for 160mm at the rear on this frame. SRAM sell the bolts but charge an arm and a leg. Front you need a plate and the sram plate comes with mounting bolts.

Anyone here know what length bolt they used for the front brake mounting? I am running SRAM Rival/Force flat mount brakes front and rear. I ordered 37mm for the rear but unsure on the fronts.

Im running SRAM Rival flat mount. 32mm for the rear and 15mm for the front is what was required. Dont forget you need the mounting plate for the front as well.

Seems people are interested in frame Weights.

My frame XS clear coat gloss: 1147g.
Fork. 465g
Handle bar 374g
seatpost with bolts etc. 233g
parts bag with everything else. 370g.

Thats interesting, especially with your tariffs.

Ill have to look around to see if there are any deals to be had with sram. My research tells me riro will work, i was looking for confirmation from someone who has actually done it.

Just curious what you mean by this. IMO SRAM cranks are very competitive when it comes to price and weight. My pair of Red E1 dub wide cranks are 309g (165mm). This is on par or better than the popular aftermarket carbon cranks like Cybrei and Elilee, and those don’t come in a wide chainline as far as I’m aware. Price is competitive with those options as well (often better actually). You pretty much need to go ridiculously expensive like THM to do better than SRAM cranks. Quarq PM is a bit heavy but there’s plenty of options for an aftermarket 8 bolt spider PM.

I can pickup some RIRO carbon cranks on ali for around $AUD300 these weigh 342g red wide cranks would cost me $AUD680.

I'm building a bike and getting parts as i go. So far only frame and RD. Going to get a sram wide FD. Tyre clearance on the frame is 50mm. The Sram crank set isn't competitive when it comes to a power meter and weight.

Frame arrived today. XS Raw carbon Gloss clear coat. weighs in at 1147g.

Has anyone used a carbon crankset with the sram wide RD? Im building a gravel 2x bike and ideally would like a carbon crankset that I can use with a PM. Wide chainline is 47.5mm.
