When you're mentioning using spacers, are they additional spacers than the one Sram uses when running their Wide Xplr crankset (2.5mm on left side and 5.5mm on the right side for T47 85.5 BB)? I'm planning on running the recommended setup from Sram with these spacers to have the wider 47.5mm chainline which I assume will enable me to run at least 48T in the front (I'll have the updated frame).

Just ordered a GRT frame in XS, raw carbon glossy. The plan is to build it with XT rear derailleur and Ultegra shifters, but I have not yet decided on crankset. Does anybody have any recomendations? I have previously built two gravelbikes with a Ultegra crankset made into 1x.
Will post pictures of the frame when I get it

In your case - with the updated frame - you can stick to the standard dub wide crank + recommended spacers if you use a standard 6.5mm offset chain ring.

Then your chainline should be around 47.5mm and it should (easily) fit on the updated frame.

For the older frame people will need to add some additional spacers if they want to run 48T.

My frameset is on its way and i am putting my weight weenie hat on. I have XCMS wheels and cranks so i need to look at hardware weight savings.I will be running XPLR. Can any users confirm sise and length of the flat mount bolts? I would also like to replace the front derailuer bolts with some light weight and oil slick bolts. Guidance would be appreciated

Does anyone have any insight into the durability of the factory Garmin mount and if there are compatible 3rd party mounts available on the market?

Gravel meets XC.

Those wheels are massive. Tell is more about them.

The new but by now pretty well know 37/45 wheels of XMCS.

The come in 45/56/65mm depth. This set was 1533g, Sapim CX Ray 24/24.

Here are some new paint finishes.

I am about to do a bike fit session and order the frame+parts. Question, how did you pay for your frame? Paypal? Never bought a Chinese frame before so wanted to double check
