Maintenance, Mechanics, & Tools / Re: Front disc brake issue
« Last post by frewster on September 15, 2026, 10:15:17 AM »
Take the caliper off and look at the mounting posts. I could not get the front brake on my FM336 to not rub despite spending an hour trying to get it aligned. Turned out the threaded inserts weren't flush with the mounting posts. I ordered the brake mount facing tool discussed in this post (https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,4812.msg113399.html#msg113399) and after carefully facing the posts on the fork I was finally able to tighten down the caliper without rubbing on the disc.

Hey, did you get an answer yet ?
On my end I had feedback saying calibration issues where only on bluetooth (and it was apparently fixed in a recent update)

But this weekend after a couple of weeks of training on mine with no issue, suddenly the power pre-calibration was showing 600w just cruising on the parking lot before warmup, I calibrated and the offset went from what was usually in the 200-400 bracket went to 5000... Still post calibration power numbers seemed okay until I punctured mid race. After stopping to swap wheels from then on I apparently did 400+ watts till the end of my race, even after I sat up after my last big pull for my team... (So my FTP apparently went from 330 to 400 according to a 20mins at 420, 1.5 hours into a very hard race  ;D ;D)

2nd chinese spider based power meter that turns out to be a random number generator. Waiting to hear back from pandapodium see if there's a solution.

Currently I'm on 32s Michelin PowerCups. I'd say 36 won't fit but 34-35 might.

It all depends on your rim/tyre combination and the resulting actual measured dimensions, i did a experiment mounting panaracer gravelking slick 38 on i29 rims -> WAM 43mm. Very little margins for mud/debree around the chainstays (~2mm) and the front deraileur were (just) touching the tyre.

I'm now running Vittoria N.EXT 34mm on i23 rims, WAM36 this leaves 6mm clearance to the chainstays.

Based on this i'd say if you are modest with the internal width (<=23-24mm) a 38mm tyre will problably be OK but if you want to be on the safe side go for 34-36mm tyres.

I'm still riding mine, it's my most comfortable bike for long rides, living up to the endurance bike label.

If you're happy with max 30mm tyres - maybe 32mm if you like to live dangerously - then I'd say go for it. I didn't use the VeloBuild handlebars though, so I can't comment on those.

Got the frame and everything, the 30c ride perfectly with a 24mm internal rim, not as comfy as a mtb but buttery smooth  ;D

Got the handlebar even if I told chris I didn't want it 🙃 but he sent it nevertheless and didn't refund fe the 70 bucks for it. Didn't appreciate this shadiness when I sent a rather precise email after ordering.

Still the bike is great, loving it even after the insane inner routing process.

Only one question, do you have any old pic of the crown race? I think they sent me a non perfect one cause I have a 2 to 3 mm gap between fork and frame, if it's a wrong crown race I'll order a new one (and I hope a new handlebar in the near future)

i can't speak to your first question, but for question 2, the winow arb02 is a direct fit onto the supplied adaptor plate. Its not entirely clean or pretty (the circular carbon extension mounts poke out a bit, unless you want to cut them off). i purchased this adaptor plate and drilled out the hole spacing so it would match the mono riser bolt spacing for a slightly cleaner look:

Do you maybe have a photo of this setup? I have also the original plate but look for another option

What is the bolt spacing on the Ican monoriser?
I am about to order one, but looking for options to change the frontend of the bikes directly.
What option did you choose for'change?

Clearance is 35+6.2+6.2mm at the rear (and prob a tad more at the front). There was confusion, and there were mistakes in previous versions of the CAD design. The attached is as per Crystal, today.
So, 39+4.2+4.2
39.4+4+4 (ISO, afaik)
40+3.7+3.7
41+3.2+3.2
...

For your information, the clearance is the same for all the sizes.

do you think the medium will fit me will with enough seat post and stand over at my height (175cm with 31.5 inseam)

I think you'll be alright, but maybe someone with an M can chime in and give an actual standover measurement with ~ your desired tire size?

With the M, you're getting a 30mm shorter seat tube relative to L (490mm vs 520mm), so that should help!

Just got the pics in of my painted frame, so imagine it will ship soon, I'm actually quite impressed how it turned out. I've only ridden very boring looking bikes so I'm a little apprehensive now about it being more of a looker and having people talk to me as I'm an amateur, overweight rider as well as a bit of an introvert! So we will see...



Just info wise when did u order?
Interested to see how much ppl wait :D

This is pretty great. There are a few brands, like 3T, that would advertise this as a 38 or 39mm clearance bike using tat ISO "racing bicycle" carve out of the standard.

Could you ask them if any of the other frame dimensions were updated? If so, also ask for an updated geo chart?
