Finally got my frame delivered and I'm currently gathering the components to build it up.
I bought a Token T47 DUB bottom bracket:

but it looks like I need two 0.5mm spacers because the shell width is 85.5mm and the BB didn't come with any spacers in the box..

Which BBs are you guys using on your setups?

standard praxis t47 bottom bracket...there is no spacer needed for ltk bottom bracket

Quote from: Sakizashi on October 11, 2026, 01:09:56 PMI went with a 75-degree STA to keep the flexibility to use a 25mm setback post for a more or less traditional saddle position, vs. the custom 15mm forward offset one I am currently using. The saddle position with a zero offset post would be most natural on a 76-degree STA like the Ridley. I also have about 2mm lower BB drop, 5mm shorter stays, and a similarly small difference with more reach.

What saddle setback do you have and crank length?
Is this type of geometry good if you don't want to sit in the aero position, meaning good for hips and knees?

I should have asked before buying but what are the widest tires people are running 2x? I was planning to run tires that go to about 37mm WAM with an FD-R8150.

I was previously running Michelin pro5 35mm that measured 37 on 25 IW rims. No clearance issues at all.

(Now on gp5k s tr 32mm / 33.5WAM)

Just to confirm, these are 2x setups? Preferably electronic since those FDs are even bigger. I mean I guess I'm gonna find out in a week or so.

Nice build! How are you liking the Canary II bars and the unpadded saddle?

I have a Canary II on a Scott Addict 2026 and feels great, it is a 380/90, at that size I do not feel any flex, not sure if that is true for larger sizes. I am only 165 lb that may also be a factor.  I just finished the build 2 days ago and have not taken the bike out so I still do not know how comfortable the saddle is on a long ride.
