I bought the handlebar from SPcycle and the frame from Mondince... when I go to install it, I run into this problem—is anyone else experiencing this? The cover headseat It looks too thick

Just out of curiosity what is your bearing height? I see the bearing cover has stamped 7.5 and yours might be 8.5mm bearing

Just to give you some perspective how 1x chainring clearance can be deceiving, on my 3T Exploro Ultra, with Sram standard spindle I can fit 48/35 in 2x but only 42t with 1x chainring which has 6.5mm offset. The GRX cranks are wider so 2x chainring clearance should not be any problem.

Looks like we have another update the Zrace version

Edit: ok just a zrace spider is availible

Spokecalc or dtswiss calculator. Both have also option do to calculation for straightpull hubs and results are fairly close.

The 35mm GP5000 S TR will fit same as Goodyear Vectir R XPLR, looking at BRR measurement, the GP5000 has even wider thread and is taller :-D So no need to wait for 40mm.

I have the goldix version and it's hard under sitbones, which ryet 3d, the pro stealth copy? That was also fairly hard, but in long usage it never caused any excessive pressure, I just needed to lift my butt and could continue on.

Task is simple use right offset of the chainring instead of spacing the crankset. Using spacers will move your whole cranks to the side and potentially cause some fit issues. On the other hand 45mm chain line should not harm the system. On my regular Eagle AXS I have switched between wide and normal cranks multiple times and did not have issues here.

Spider below has much wider chainline, if you mount the ring on the outside. I am able to fit 48t chainring on my 3T Exploro Ultra on non wide cranks, which has space only for 42t sram direct mount chainring. With 45mm chainline spider, I can fit up to 46t narrow wide and it will just clear 48/35 double.

I did run cheap Deckas rings with flattop chain and they worked fine, you need to test it. Look at the teeth profile, they were similar to Sram own chainring on the ones I had

Two things, you have no tension on the shift cable and even if it is super tight, it should not prevent you from steering. Check if your housings sit correctly everywhere, to me it seems like your cable housing is not seated properly or just falling somewhere in when tensioned, another thing which could ease your life is to run full length outer housing from shifter to the derailleur if that is possible on your frame.

What is you frame clearance? 32mm GP5000 S TR on 25mm id rims is 34.4mm wide, on 32mm internal rim it blows up to 37mm, so 35 would be close to 39mm. Your best bet would be 29mm internal for 32mm tires if you have 35-36mm clearance. Weight wise, I built myself 64mm deep 32mm internal wheelset with brass nipples and it came up at 1480g.

Here are the dimensions, however the sides are switched, so look for centerlock splines in the drawing :-D

Here are the same hubs without logos and significantly cheaper I will find a drawing for geometry somewhere and post it later, I saved it, because it was under the listing.

The pinch flats issue on wide rims is IMO purely due to how Zipp designed the hooks on the rim, look at some closeup how sharp they are. That is why I chose hooked version of the rims. I had really hard hit on a road where the tire was 1mm narrower than rim (31mm WAM) and only result was crack in the rim, which I noticed at home after the ride, which was more than 50km after the impact.

I am currently running 64mm deep and 32mm internal width rims and it is positive jump from 25mm internal I had previously. I personally would look for something wider internally 28-32mm, with 40mm tire it stretches to 42mm on 32mm rim. Depth depends how comfortable you are in the wind. I have been running 65mm wheels for years, but my gravel wheelset has 1480g with brass nipples, which is in the end lighter than my old road set.

I had no issues keeping up with friends on road using 45mm G-One R and RS Pro (F/R) (48mm actual width), on rougher stuff it is a blast and I still am at the point going lower with pressures.
