Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: (yet another) Gravel Bike Build
« on: May 11, 2024, 01:51:34 PM »
That i Tan Tan framset I build recently. Just do not buy Kactus BB cause they do not fit Shimano properly.
Also ask for fork with hole for full internal build. I did not know they have one and got without it.

I installed this
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003015711873.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.5.68bf1802WVtcti

This fits GRX600 tight as should. Also do not need 1 mm shim.

I do not understand what do you mean BB is not moving in the frame. BB is tightened. Bearings move. I have removed crank and spindle of crankset have to much play inside BB. Means tolerance on BB is fucked up. I contacted seller but they refuse to warranty that since several month passed from delivery.
I will order new one but avoid Kactus BB cause they are no good.

I finished my bike and made some 20 km but there is a problem:

Everything is properly tightened but it is not ok to have such play/woble on bottom bracket.

T47-24(86.5mm)for shimano crank, use the 1mm shim on nds (supplied)

Can this be verified as true info? I can not find proper info about that. Frame is 86,5 mm and I am installing GRX600 2x10 crankset. I got three shims 1/2/3 mm width
Also ordered specific tool for BB T47, 48,5/49 mm width.

Minor problem with inserting seat post. Hidden clamp was probably slightly to big. Vendor sent replacement, but meanwhile i striped black colour from it,  and that was enough to insert it.
