It looks like a 38 might fit?

Not sure, front derailleur might be a limit, same for the fork.
Here are Michelin pro 5 in 35, measured 34,7mm wide.

Received my new tagoola xplr wheelset today.

Everything seemed flawless until when i was to apply rim tape and saw this line with exposed fibers, I am no carbon expert but i have taped many carbon rims and never saw something like this.

Contacted tagoola, waiting for the answer. New Bike Day without carbon wheels for me :(.

From de pic it doesn't seem like exposed fiber, but more like molding wax. Difficult to say with only this pic

I want to say thank you to Tagoola.

I've been using AR XPLR since a bit less than a year on smooth and heavy gravel mountain roads. Unfortunately, after a ride, one of my friends noticed a bump on the side of my rear rim. It was cracked. I didn't notice it because there was not drop of tension, neither was some left/right or up/down deviation. The ride was indeed with rocks flying everywhere.

I contacted Tagoola and offered me a replacement rim for the price of shipping which was 39€ (45us$). He sent it the day after and received it 10 days later.
Really happy with customer service and the wheels !

Hello !

I purchased CSC 32mm inner width and 50mm depth wheels for gravel bikes last January.

The order and delivery went smoothly.

My first ride was perfect.

After a long ride (600 km in Spain), a strange noise started coming from the rear.

Returning from this ride, I went away for a weekend with friends, and the ratchet system broke (several teeth popped out).

Upon my return, I ordered a new ratchet system, but it was impossible to install; the hub was also broken.

I contacted the seller, who offered little to no help (a 5% discount).

They stopped responding to my messages.

In conclusion: the wheelset cost €400, but in my case, they only lasted 700 km... that's €0.50 per km ;)

I strongly advise against using this seller.

Stef


lot of people on facebook asked to see pics of the hub. Would like to see that too

The bike looks great. I am also looking into this frame or the new lightcarbon LCR018-D. I think Geo wise the x67 would fit my current 2018 Focus Izalco Max better. Has anyone ordered frames from Tantan living in Germany? If yes what are your experiences. This would be my first bike build so i am still a bit unsure about it :)

I was living in Germany when i ordered my two tantan frames, some friends too. No problem. you can look up my posts.

anyone else pulled the trigger on this frame? looking at the grind website with different builds/paintjobs i must admit this bike looks amazing

Don't know if it helps, but I'm still really happy about it. Seeing so many brands ordering it from tantan makes me think it was a good choice. They might have made some changes and taking into account the problems I had.

Edit 02/02 : here is a photo of yesterday's ride with it.

New here can i use shimano calipers on ltwoo levers?

It's written multiple times in this thread and all over the forum/internet but yes. In general you can pretty much mix and match every mineral system

I'm not sure that 1 mm more space will be enough. How much clearance is considered to be safe?

Many people don't have problems here, even with 46T chainrings, but my case is different, which is strange. This is my first build, may be I did something wrong, but I don't understand what exactly. I would be very grateful if someone could tell me. I put a 1 mm spacer on the shaft between a nut that holds a power meter and a bottom bracket. The bottom bracket model is Token BB47V24, installed without any spacers.

The chain doesn't go here. It's the left side of the chainring if you look from the drive side.

I also don't have a lot of space with a 42t, It mainly depends on the cranks and chainring configuration. I also had to put a spacer.

Well, guess we're gonna need to open a GR201+X67 owner club next year then lol

Quick question, is the seatpost tightening bolt suppose to stick out that much underneath the top tube? That looks quite odd.

Haha we could.

No it's not, but I added a 1mm thick washer because the screw was directly in contact with the frame. It's still is a bit out without it

Hello, can you tell me your height and inseam? I'm 165cm with 75cm inseam. I'm thinking of buying the TT-X67 with the M-52cm size. I had Canyon Aeroad XS (almost same geometry), but I'm worried about the standover height. Thanks!

Hello, I'm 170cm with 79cm inseam and I have a 49 frame. Stem is 130mm. By canyon I'm recommended a XS size, but I've ridden both XXS and XS and I feel better on the XXS with a longer stem.
Hope that helps
