The prices for some parts I paid (with free shipping no import/sales taxes) from aliexpress/ebay: Shimano Ultegra Rotor: 33 Shimano Ultegra Brake Calipers (same as GRX ones): 55 Shimano HG701 Chain: 28 Shimano GRX…

The front shifting is mostly ok, needs some tuning for the bigger cog, but it does not affect the rear shifting performance. I have an XT cassette 11-40t, and I think that when I am shifting to hi gears, at some point…
I have done 120 km so far, cannot say the shifting is super smooth as it would be on a road cassette. I have no problem going from hi to low gears, even on the last 40t cog with 31 in front of course. However, while…
Did a 3+ hours tour today on a new bike with GRX+XT, I like the 31/40t gear, I think it is a perfect gear for climbs, I would not probably go lower than that, may be 30/40t but 42t would be rediculously slow and useless…
It was not easy to measure due to assymetric chainstays but I hope it gives some idea. The fork clearance is about the same as at the chainstays, but I failed to make the good photo. The drawings from Carbonda look ok,…

They are indeed M5x12.

Mostly complete, only brakes and fork cutting left. Chain soup 🙂
Connected yesterday the derailleurs and put a chain. So, no issues with frame clearance at all gear combinations. I also reinstalled the rear derailleur properly, with the right stopper plate against the hanger. Had to…
Slowly pacing bike build, but almost there 🙂 Not sure if I installed it right, but only in this position it has enough clearance between largest cog and upper derailleur's pulley (without wolftooth roadlink). From…

Some bike porn 🙂 P.S. I know that gravel bike cannot be a gravel bike without drop bars, but it is a temporary solution until I can allocate some budget for the 105/GRX levers.

SRX810 Scheduled for installation this or next weekend 🙂 The price for RX600 shifters is $390 ($366 + shipping), RX810 is over 500, still deciding if GRX branding label really justifies that price tag, or I should just…
Scheduled for installation on CFR 696, will post feedback on chainstay clearance.
