Depends if your frame is symetrical or not. In my case (g056) I put them on non drive side

Dunder

I have the G068, but not sure if it is symmetrical or not. But did you also have a hard time getting the crank through the BB? If it slid eaay i could trial and error with the spacers to see what makes sense. But I had to hammer with a rubber mallet. Also getting it out again when I saw the gaps was same struggle.

Ludo

For it was pretty obvious when turning the frame upside down. Mark the middle of the frame with down tube as reference and measure the distance between this point and each BB face. If symetrical, I would put tge 3-4mm spacer on non drive side and and the 1-2 mm on drive side (if the preload ring is able to pressure on it.

Having said that, I am no bike mechanic, I go with what is logical to me... lol

Thank you for helping! I am quickly finding out I am definitive not a bike mechanic (first bike build..).

Got the crankset on, but now when mounting the back wheel I see the disc brake is too far from the rotor (160mm).

I have used the zrace XG rotor with a spacer for 160mm rotor like i used on the fork. Anyone had similar issue?

from what i can see this is a direct mount frame on the back so without the spacer everything should work fine.

How long did it take for you guy's to get your frames? My tracking number has shown no updates and its been 2 weeks since they gave me the number

Dunder

2 weeks to ship, then I received it 40 days after placing the order.

guess I'll twiddle my thumbs patiently. basically the rest of my parts have been delivered from ali express (I ordered them a few days after ordering the frame) and I'm waiting on the frame to get here to do my build. Their website says about 15 days to get to the US. Got my hopes up... As long as it turns up and functions it'll be worth the wait.

Guys, have you seen a new iteration of G068 frame? Namely G069. It seems to have different fork:

@kubabike where did you find the G069? I don't see it on the SPCycle website

Edit: Found it here - https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807793574789.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.1.11d72e57E6j3lw&algo_pvid=88790615-62af-43e3-8220-07fda1f5eb02&algo_exp_id=88790615-62af-43e3-8220-07fda1f5eb02-0&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21USD%21768.00%21499.20%21%21%21768.00%21499.20%21%402101c59517308224525082630eafad%2112000043134485945%21sea%21US%210%21ABX&curPageLogUid=9CORcwtbbszc&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch%7Cquery_from%3A

Compared to the G068, the G069 fork is 15g heavier and has a 52mm offset listed instead of 50mm. The G068 fork appears to have an adjustable offset between 50 and 55mm. The G069 fork appears fixed at 52mm. These are the only differences I see in the geo and spec charts for the two frames.

i actually mailed them yesterday just to confirm. The only difference is the fork as mdp3 already discussed above.

Anyone have fitted a Magene P505 crank to this frame?

I see here they specifically say "Not Support T47-86.5mm and BB386 bottom bracket !" - anyone know why?

Example this one I assume will fit into the G068 and then a Magene P505 stock should fit?

Looking into this as well. I'm interested in getting P505 for my G068 as well.Saw in the P505 thread that it works with G056 though with very small clearance.

Wonder if anyone has ever tried with G068?

Dunder

I will order a Magene P505 on the 11.11 sale and hope it fits I dont hear otherwise. :)

I assume the new fork is still 31.8 mm in diameter? I was thinking about mounting a Canyon gear groove cockpit. But I guess thats not possible.
