Sweeeeeeeeet! I'm also considering a Rival AXS XPLR build though I had a bad experience with a host of AliExpress parts, including cranks, so I'd probably stick to the full SRAM groupset. Have you weighed it yet? I'm…

I'm enjoying the Rival AXS groupset on my Ti road bike, though I've had a couple chain drops, which are always frustrating. Also, the front derailleur shifts are not as quick or smooth as I'd hoped. I was on a 1x Force…
I think Hambini has discussed this before. If memory serves, you can get a BB that will enable a 30mm crank, but in doing so the compromise is that the bearings have to be rather thin.

Here is a screen-grab showing some of the cover options ORA provides for what I thought was a pretty standard sized internal cable routing hole. I'm just having a hard time imagining that Waltly doesn't make or source…
This sounds to me like Waltly made a mistake. I've been drooling over metal frames from a variety manufacturers, including Waltly, and I've never seen round holes like that for internal cable routing. For drainage, yes,…
Hmm... I've been thinking of ordering a Waltly also, so I'll be curious to see what the experts here have to say.
@Robi , would you mind sharing a link to the frameset, or frame and fork individually? I have been hunting for a Ti fork. The American and Euro made options I've found are crazy expensive IMHO, and even my discussions…

Could this just be the headset having come loose? I just had to tighten up the integrated headset and add a spacer above the stem in my Raleigh RXC because I was experiencing similar (though to a lesser degree)…
Unfortunately I don't have a solution for you, but want to say thank you for posting this. I love the idea and will be interested to see how you progress and finalize it. coup wrote: Hi everyone, nice to find a forum…
