Its getting rainy, muddy and snowy. What mudguards are you guys running on your gravel bike?

Hehe yep quite flexible these days. Works like a charm and can def remove more spacers but its fine for now.

I use a 3D printed SWAT mount for specialized saddles. It integratates very nicely. https://www.magcad-designs.com/products/magcad-garmin-varia-specialized-swat-saddle-mount-20mm-offset?srsltid=AfmBOooe9SAOJdfmOVzDDxAwXo8R4UNkCjCZVji8Zdy6bw9XuJHcxVR2

My Frame came in on Saturday. I am currently building it up but I'm wondering how to lay the shift cables (mechanical grx) around the bottom bracket.
I layed them under the BB but I'm not sure if this is right? Under some tension it might be too tight an kind of saws through the crank??

Yeah under the bb, under the metal sleeve. Put some foam around it, same with brake hoses. They wont rattle and not gonna tear the cable. I use Jagwire but any will do

Is there a tool to track the price of Ali items? Or do you keep track manually?

Hmm yeah page 12 broken, I made a beautiful post about my bike and poof, gone!

Nice! I've looked at that Bucklos saddle. Still haven't decided, alot of reviews who are great. I have the orginal S-Works Power Mirror on my road bike and love it! It's nice that it has the SWAT mount for my radar. With this saddle you lose that but do save alot of money and some weight over my current saddle. Have you got personal experiences with that saddle?

My build has finished and first ride has been done. Absolutely love it at the moment!
Build list :
- Shimano 12 speed R8150 groupset with 50/34 cranks and 11-34 cassette and M9100 chain
- Lightbicycle AR55 Pro's with ERASE hubs that I had laying around which are handbuild, paired with Pathfinder 42mm's at the moment. For winter/muddy rides, will switch to a 45mm more nobby tire.
- Bbinfinite T47I bottom bracket
- My beloved ZIPP CX bartape
- Currently using a Specialized Power Arc saddle that I had laying around. Still deciding what saddle I wanna run
- Installed a bunch of 3M tape on the downtube, around BB and on the arms to keep the paint nice!
- Have my Favero Assioma DUO on them from my road bike, probably will buy Favero Assioma MX with some Black Friday deal

With this massive seatpost length and size 58 in custom paint, she is looking at 9.3kg right now. Can reduce this weight with saddle and lighter rims quite easily. Kinda want the new Nextie 25mm internal wavy rims!

Won't attach pictures this time, that's what caused the crash I think! 

Yeah I use Jagwire Internal Housing Damper Frame Foam, never really had a problem with it. Its just the brake hoses anyway. With some foam, you shouldn't have got any rattle.

Does anyone have some experience with Arundel sort of like cages?
