Any recommendation for internally routed stems? Looking for something with -6deg, saw some recommendations for balugoe / riro already. A bit unsure about the spacer situation and headset top cap, should fit on a mondince frame.  ;D

I installed this one, it's -7°

I was able to route all 4 housings for a fully mechanical 105 11s

i really don't think gemini could be trusted with geometry sketches

Oh surely not! That's from bike-stats.de

Just playing around with geometry and Gemini ;D

I compared the frame with a 40mm Kocevlo fork (roughly) to my current bike, geometry ends up kind of similar but further back from the BB, shouldn't be a huge issue with a 0 offset seatpost

I don't think you'll be able too as this frame has a  1 1/2 inch straight steerer tube, most suspension forks are tapered as far as im aware.

But isn't that the standard thing to have the internal cable routing?
Wide bearing on top with the C ring so cables can run trough it.

I'm under the urge to buy this frame and build it with a suspension fork.
Please discourage me  ;D

I've noticed prices are gone up quite a bit over the last month (at least that's what I'm seeing from Italy).
E.g. I had a 11-40 cassette in my cart that was listed for about 25€, now it's well over 30.
Has this something to do with the new tax?

I don't have a power meter so nothing in that regard.

What's the comparison on the apps side?
Before my current BCS300 I had a fairly simple Magene C406, so I can't really make a apples-to-apples comparison, but when switching over I liked the iGPSport app much better than OneLapFit.

Thanks, that's a great review.
I was thinking just today, while struggling on a pretty average climb, that I could use some help from an iClimb feature.

I currently have a BSC300 and it often starts announcing every single turn of the route, even though it's just a bend with no other ways to go.
When it does it I'm under the urge to throw it into the trees, is the 500 the same?

That's looking great!
What size is it?

I had the same problem, but I ordered a new seatpost and the problem was solved. Measure the diameter of the original one. Mine was 27 - 27.1 instead of 27.2. In that case, no grease will help.

To be honest I never used the original seatpost (it's glossy and I don't like it), I've had this problem both with a Toseek seatpost and a Elita One.

I'm now trying half a loop of that silver tape (no idea what's the actual name, in Italy it's called "american tape"), a full loop wouldn't fit in the seattube.
But I'm yet to see how it holds on a real gravel ride.

I think you're riding my exact bike :D
Same seller, same seatpost

After tightening it to around 8 Nm it seems more stable, we'll see if it stays in place also on rougher terrain (and by that I mean asphalt roads, around here)

Well it still slipped but I've been stripping the seatpost paint  :o
I now wrapped it with some tape, let's see

A 69mm BB drop is outdated for modern gravel setups. If you run 45mm tires or larger, the effective BB height shifts significantly due to the much larger tire radius. Running high-volume tires on a frame with only a 67-69mm drop jacks the entire bike up so high that the center of gravity becomes unstable.

For tires 45mm and up, a 75mm to 80mm BB drop (depending on frame size and rider height) is necessary just to compensate for the added tire height. It’s simple physics: bigger tires require a deeper drop to maintain a stable axle-to-ground geometry and keep the bike planted.

Okay this make sense, thanks. Still I would like to try a higher BB to see if I can feel any difference.
To be honest I didn't even know what the BB drop in my current bike is (apparently 76)

Really interesting geometries for those who need high stack and short reach, wish it had been available last year

To be honest, I wouldn't push it too far past the torque limit. I'd try using a paste like this https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005009496347020.html first. I had a similar issue and this solved it for me.

Yeah I put some carbon paste from Decathlon, but it didn't stop it completely.
Truth to be told, I never installed the oem Ceccotti seatpost because it's glossy black and wouldn't match the other parts that are all matte. But it has a quite rough finish, that the other seatpost that I have (from Elita and Toseek) do not. Maybe that's just it.
