Hello AlfistA, a very beautiful bike! It would be nice if you could give us regular updates on the performance of the Ltwoo groupset. Thank you!
What pressure do you ride in your 44 mm Tufos?
Do you feel that the handling is changed due to (probably) changed geometry of your bike?

What crank are you going to use? Yes, there are quite many crank dimensions out there... As far as I remember... Campy 25 and 30 mm Shimano 24 mm Sram 22 mm ..... I have got several Campy UT cranks and the BSA BBs last…
Hello! If you are looking for Chinese products, wheels from LightBicycle, Farsports and Yoleo have a pretty good reputation (in my opinion). The price is around half compared to Western brands. Alfons
Thank your for the pictures. Have you also measured the width of the tires?..:-) How do you like the Cross Kings 2.0 compared to your previous (assuming) smaller tires. I will soon order a 696 frame. Currently I ride a…

Thank you. Yes, a bit pricey. Is there a Chinese alternative?
Hello, I am looking for a flexible, compliant carbon seatpost with a conventional 2-bolt clamp design on top. Recommendations? Experiences? Thoughts? Thank you. Alfons

Hello, what is the largest 29" tire size that can be fitted in a CRF696 frame? As I never ride in muddy conditions, the clearance does not need to be much. I was thinking about XC tires like Vittoria Mezcal, Continental…
I do not know how experienced you are with disc brakes, but this sounds like contamination in the back. In my opinion disc brake pads and rotors are very sensitive to any form of wd40 or grease. I would clean the rotor…
Good evening, does anyone here have experience or real world pictures of the chinese frame Gr029 as sold by, e.g., Flyxii, Winsport or Seraph. Thank you. Alfons
WTB Exposure 30 mm and WTB Riddler 45 mm...both extremely difficult on LB wheels. Gravelking 43 mm a bit easier. Challenge Strada Bianca 33 mm and Schwalbe Marathon Winter 35 and 42 mm rather easy.

Great bike! Do you have also experience with Sram Apex/Rival/Force? I wonder....does the new Red brake better? Alfons
