coffeebreak wrote: Interesting take. The tool in the link doesn't come with PH2 though and M8 is also used by Shimano and Crankbrothers pedals. It does come with 1.5mm hex which isn't needed by any of my bikes so it…

Extremely niche question: I'm building a multi tool to go specifically with this bike (it would eventually be my N=1 afterall) and to my delight absolutely everything on the bike takes a 2, 4, 5 hex except the pedals…

Another housing question. Building my 696 so far has been incredibly easy including many steps I feared but by FAR the hardest step I'm still struggling with is routing mechanical shifter cables. My GRX 800 came with…
I love the different colors on the bottle cages to match the tube color. I recognize the bottle cage design but the brands they're sold under are all pretty expensive here, did you get them direct from china? Do you…
Still having issues routing the shifter cables under the BB. Does anyone have a tip for going past the sharp angle?
I found this very promising (on paper) super compact tool. Not sure what it's worth but if you're feeling adventurous, maybe https://www.prestacycle.com/product/prestalever-iii-multi-tool/

I bought the axles in 121 and 171 from ZTTO and can confirm they fit fine. I'm routing shimano cables (from the top), how do i make the cable do that sharp, almost 90° angle under the BB? I opened the little door and…
I got mine in the mail this morning and while I'm not important enough to have an opinion that matters I still wanted to share my initial feedback and worries before the build. The delivery to western europe was only 10…

Does anyone have a picture of a 696 with a road crankarm powermeter like the 4iiii 105?
Can anyone confirm whether the BH GravelX is a 696?

Was the expander of a decent size or is it one of those microscopic ones that are shorter than the stem? Also, are there any spacers in the headset kit?
