How are the brake hoses going to get from the stem to inside the steer tube? Another hole near the top of the steerer or I am missing something?

@hmcps89 2 ай бұрын

The compression plug will probably be set a bit lower than the top of the stem so it can down into the steerertube.

@Coreybrowning 2 ай бұрын

You would have to cut the fork lower than the top pinch bolt on the stem which would be super sketchy

I am absolutely psyched to keep watching this project - very cool. I love gravel bikes and it seems like there are very few highly custom lightweight builds compared to road bikes and others. I’m not convinced about the pink decals, but the size and positioning of the S-Works decal under the downtube is really sweet. Can’t wait for more build videos!

This is looking to be a super dope build. I'm hoping we can get a full build video of it, but it's gonna be fantastic either way when you do the final reveal. Routing both brakes hoses through the fork is a solution I haven't seen, but I hope it pans out. All this gives me ideas for if/when I can do a Crux build of my own.

Doesn't the length of the back brake hose (which is way less longer than if it was routed externally) limit the angle the steerer can rotate? Isn't the same true with the hole which the hose exits the steerer through to the frame?

looking back on your videos for light weight wheelset choices - so big climbing rides coming up later in the year and would like to go from1400g wheelset to 1000g or so. Without breaking the bank. Any advice on wheel builders? (in London pref)

Great design on the frame! Super interesting Video. But going all for weight but then choosing to runn 4 piston brakes? Thats one part I dont understand. I'll always run 4 piston brakes on my MTB but I am super comfortable on the 2 piston brakes on my roadbike. Can you explain why you opted for the 4 piston Hopes? Cheers!

@TwistedWheels 2 ай бұрын

You’ll be surprised, but in addition to being very powerful, they are actually lighter than any Sram and there is just 5g penalty for both compared to hope X2 (if you are using 160mm rotors, which I do).
