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.

??

New fork should have a standard 1 1/8" steerer, like the other fork option; Canyon is the one with weird standards but even they went with a 1 1/8" steerer on the new Grail, so their cockpit should work just fine.

Thank you. I somehow remembered that Canyon has a different Standard. Then this will be my Black Friday frame.

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



I covered this earlier in the thread. New fork was being tested, and is now ready. But if you still want clearance, go with the flip chip one.

I bought the G068 recently and the quality is not great. Looking inside my frame there are multiple locations with loose carbon strands. Customer service insisted that there is nothing wrong with the bike. Initially I ignored that loose cabon strands in the front fork tube and continuted my build. But after routing the cables and assembling the headset. I noticed that cables are rubbing against a longer and thicker carbon strand in the downtube and making some annoying noise. Then I realize that almost every mounting hole where the frame is drill through has the same carbon layer ruptering around revits.

My frame finally was delivered, the box was shaped weird and looked like it had been kicked down some stairs. Everything looks good on it. Working on building it up. Sram rival 12 speed with Elite wheels, kocevlo handlebars. So far so good. The brake hose was getting caught on something in the chainstay but it made it through. This is my first bike build and I don't have any crazy tools but it's working out well.

How is the seatpost clamp on this one? especially with carbon seatposts? so there any need for carbon grip paste? how much torque is needed on that screw?

Thinking about going with the Ergon CF Allroad Pro with the frame, which is why i'm asking.

Seatpost clamp held me up when I sat on it (200lbs/90kg). ( have since put grip paste just to be safe. I need to finish building up the bike and get a ride on it to get some real answers
