I'd bet more on your position than on anything aero related to the frame.

Also considered this gravel but now looking into the new one to come from yishun. But it's taking very long.

LC is also launching a new one soon. Might be with it

It's a somewhat aggressive geometry for a gravel bike, I'm running about 25mm of spacers which is basically the same as what I ran on the other frame. I think my position in a tuck on this is pretty much the same as the other frame I had.

This frame also has aero profile bars and I'm running a slightly longer stem than the other so it should be actually a bit more aggro overall. I honestly have an easier time getting up over 42mph on my steel adventure bike with 2.25" aggro MTB tires.

It's extremely perplexing how slow this bike is for descending.

Pulling this bike apart after about 5000 miles with 4500 of that being gravel for a deep cleanup before sticking it on the trainer for winter.
This is the least amount of wear I've ever seen for a crank for that mileage. Small shiny ring on the NDS end but it is uniform all the way around.
Bearings are still super smooth in the bottom bracket, probably the smoothest I've ever felt after that distance indicating the alignment is on point. Usually I can start feeling a bit of notchiness/roughness to varying degrees.

Anyone know if this frame is UDH compatible?
Their newest frame says it is and the dropout looks the same, although on their website it doesn't list UDH for this specific frameset.

Does anyone know the meassurements for replacement headset bearings? Would prefer to get them ordered, before taking the bike apart.

Resurrecting an aging thread here.  I am looking at going with this frame but I am wondering if anyone has been able to run a full mtn tire in it?  I am trying to decide if I go with this frame or head down the MTB frame route.  I am looking to run 29x2.1 or 2.2 tires. From thi pictures every one has posted, it looks like the front would probably clear that. Could someone post pics of their rear tire clearance with 50mm or bigger tires? 

Thank you

Does anybody know of replacement headset bearings that work for this bike with the integrated bars?
