About 8mm clearance in the fork

Stone 44t chainring arrived, no extra spacers necessary.

Very nice,have you been out for a ride on it, if so what were your first impressions?


Did a short 1h ride on the road and I have no complaints so far. I felt comfortable in every position on the handlebar. I did a cobbled section and I survived  :)
The Graro is about 600gr heavier dan my previous roadbike, not that I really noticed, and will be a bit lighter dan my previous gravelbike.

It might be worth playing around with the spacers and adding another 2-3mm to the drive side and seeing if it works ok. I've .

Small update, 42t chainring on backorder, installed 44t again with 2mm spacer.
I am thinking of ordering a 44t Pass Quest chainring, it has 3mm offset. I believe Sram has 6mm offset, so Pass Quest should work without spacer ?

And some pics as road set up, those are 28mm Michelin PowerCup tyres but measure 30mm

Some bike info:
ICAN HBG01 handlebar 420x110

OG-EVKIN CM-005 Carbon Computer Mount (the wahoo insert was really tight and a part broke off, replaced it with another insert I had lying around, I hope the mount itself is of beter quality)
ZTTO chain guide (never had a dropped chain on my previous gravel bike except my last race  where it happened twice, that bike had Apex mechanical groupset)
Weight: 8.45kg (with Wahoo Bolt v2 installed)

It's the "celeste" colorway.
No issue's, one of the easiest builds I have ever done. Only had to route brake cables as I'm running sram axs.
One thing I also need to do is tighten the bottom bracket a little more. Didn't have the right tool for this.
Cover plate is from aliexpress, but isn't the right size. I had to cut it to fit, it will do for now. I also put a plug in the rear derailleur hole.

were you not tempted to set up your bike 2x .


Not really, my mind was set on 1x for this build.
I'm stuck for now, waiting on chainring so I can finish the bike. Only need to install chainring, chain and bar tape.

Do you really need a 44T? I have a 36T chainring on my gravel bike.

The "Graro" will replace my old road and gravelbike
On the road bike I had 50/34 with 11-28 cassette, On the gravelbike a 38t with 11-36 cassette.
I now have a wheelset with 10-36 for road and 11-44 for gravel (gravel wheelset had shimano body)
When looking at gearcharts the 44t seemed to give me the same gears I had on my previous bikes.
Will try the 42t first, don't really want to be messing around with spacers.

I only used the spacers that were provided, 2.5mm non drive, 5.5mm drive side.
Tyres are 44mm Tufo Thundero, they measure 45mm and I have about 6mm space left between tyre and chainstay

Received my frame
I have sram wide crankset, 44t chainring doesn't fit. For the moment I have the 40t chainring on but will order a 42t.
Picture is with the 40t chainring

Looking at this frame in a 58cm and would build it up with a sram groupset. For a 1x, would a 46t chainring fit ? Sram does have their dub road wide crankset but don't know if that will be necessary.

UPDATE:
Ordered a 58 in celeste colorway
Asked some questions, got some answers from person named Perry:
-asked for fork with no holes, was no problem
-Max 1x chainring is 42t 
-BB is the t47 85.5
-for 1x is there a fully closed cover for front derrailleur cable hole -> no
