Hi, I'm very satisfied with the frameset — the quality is excellent. However, when I install the half-cut C-shaped cap piece (which I believe is meant to lock the upper bearing), there's a gap in my setup as shown in the photos. What am I doing wrong?

I asked the Spcycle store on AliExpress about this situation, and they replied that it's completely normal. What do you think?

Did it come with two of the c-rings? Mine did and they were ever so slightly different sizes - when I changed to the other one the gap disappeared

Here is my D60CU-31 T1100 on my Spcycle r-088. They feel absolutely amazing - so quick - and even with the carbon spokes they are so comfortable thanks to the 32c tyres (which measure 32mm on the rims)

Cannot recommend xmcarbonspeed enough! Amazing products that are great value and Peter is so accommodating

Took the bike out for a 130km hillly ride (1800m of climbing) out in the lanes of south east England. Other than the gears having a few teething problems everything ran perfectly

It is super quick and nimble compared to the old one and seems to be easy once up to speed. On the hills I did a real effort up a 3km drag (average 4% and a couple of 10% bits) last weekend on the old bike and I was 45 seconds quicker today for what felt like less effort (that could just be then psychological boost) and there were lots of other pbs on lots of other hills

A mixture of frames, wheels (with tubeless 32c tyres) and hydraulic discs meant it was one of the most fun rides I've done in a long time. Roll on next weekend!

My R088 is almost ready - took it out for a short test ride and it feels amazing

Weighs 7.2kgs

Size 56 chameleon green
Ultegra 8170 11-34t with 56/32 passquest chainring (Ultegra 160/140 rotors)
Ryet 3d printed carbon saddle
Lexon thin line integrated handlebar
Carbon speed D60CU-31 T1100 rims with 5.0mm carbon spokes
Pirelli p-zero tlr rs 32c tyres

Still need to sort out some headset play, bleed the brakes,  index gears properly and add handlebar tape, cages and install computer mount (and install rubber grommets in the di2 wire holes). Hopefully get this all done tonight to test ride to work tomorrow then make any final adjustments for a long first ride Saturday

Build was fairly smooth (was aware of the battery issue seat tube issue so was prepared with a long file) - routing cables was no problem. Tubeless set up was a lot easier than I was anticipating! (Buying a proper sealer injector so much easier than trying to mount the tyres after pouring in sealant)

Photo is quite dark so as it was late when i took it out so doesn't do justice to the paint colour - my partner has taken absolutely zero interest in any of the conversations i have tried to have with her about the build, but when she saw the paintwork in the sunshine she was all "ooooh it's an amazing colour, so sparky!"

Will get some better photos in the sunlight this weekend

My D60CU-31 T1100 20/20H UD matt with 5.0mm carbon spokes are built and on their way

Peter has been a pleasure to deal with and all of my incessant questions about different options

Can't wait to ride them!

They were very quick to arrive once shipped (less than a week). They look absolutely epic

How much were those if you don't mind sharing.

They were 880usd plus 115 for shipping to the uk (plus 5% PayPal fee)

I also got spare spokes and tape/valves as well which were extra

So after all the help from this forum I ordered my frame on 5th march in chameleon green and it arrived on 10th April

I'm building it up with Ultegra Di2 - these are go zone 30mm rims for when it's wet and windy and I've a set of carbon speed D60CU-31 T1100 wheels on the way

Will keep you updated on the build and a complete breakdown when I'm finished

Very impressed so far and the paint job looks amazing

I took some pictures for you. I'm running 28 mm tires but as you can see they actually measure 30.9 mm. As you can see on the picture there's around 3 mm clearance between tire and chainstays (non drive side). On the drive side there's slightly more clearance. Fork and seatstays offer >1 cm of clearance.

That's amazing thanks!  I was thinking of the 33mm wide xmcarbonspeed rims - do you think they would be too wide?

Long time lurker and first time poster here...  I am building a new bike having got back into cycling a couple of years ago using my old Planet X (purchased in 2009) and its time for an upgrade.

Having been trawling through this forum for the past 6 months umming  and ahhing about what to buy, thanks to these posts I finally decided to bite the bullet and order this frame in chameleon green (I know the spcycle paint can be a bit hit and miss but really wanted something in chameleon green and there was another post with the R065 in chameleon green that I really liked the look of) - will keep you updated on any progress with the order...

Before I order the wheels I was wondering if anyone has a photo of the wheel/tyre clearance both front and rear? I know it says 32c but what is the clearance like?

Thanks
