Acliff’s all element stable - Carbon, Titanium, Aluminium, Steel

Envy

Yeah, I was recently reminded of my problem when I was breaking down some delivery boxes in my garage and discovered 2 duraace 9000 groupsets that I had forgotten about...

Etap groupsets would need to be moved from my breakaway, and force 1 put back on that.

Haha the dream. Share

best crankset thread >>>

That is super clean, @PhilDAS, which chainring brand is that?

Not cheap mind

Not that much more than a Force CX1 or hollowgram chainring....

Pro sprint stem... too much?

Starting to build:

Not sure the seam red brakes are going to work, the arm is a bit long and kinks the brake cable too much.
Will have to have a play with bendier brake housing.

Wheels MFG gxp adapter delivered so build properly starting.
Need to find the most supple brake cable to feed through the top tube, i’m thinking classic Shimano outers.

Decided on etap, mainly because the downtube internal cable routing looks like a horrific chore...

lookin great, what wheelset is that?

Old style Reynolds assault debadged with a powertap hub.

Anyone know whether Allez Sprints are OSBB 68mm or 61mm?

The GXP spindle seems a little long with the adapters so put an extra 1mm spacer on each side.

Also the etap front derailleur cage is scarily close to the crank arm. Not touching, but almost, is that normal?

Almost done, just need to adjust saddle & bar angles and fettle with the dérailleurs.

Jesus the aerolink brakes are a faff to set up, especially with tight cable runs...

That looks rowdy. good work .

i'm sure you know this already, but you can use the 14mm nut on the brake to centre them once they're fitted.

Thanks, i’ve tightened the bolts more than recommended, due to the tight cable curve, the outers are putting more pressure on the callipers than they are supposed to I think.

Will ride and see whether it moves.

Euro cable routing?
