This truly is a dream build. I'm sure it will give you a lot of fun riding. As a titanium bike user myself I am a little bored with stock looking metal and black bikes so I went for a bit customized look - matching painted fork and stem plus silver components and some color accents.

Fantastic bike! I just rebuild my ti bike with SRAM Force with a RED cassette and chain, automatically I went for a full SRAM build with the cassette and chain and I might have done that in a different way in hindsight because it gives more options but I must admit that I do like the flattop chain as well. I think it is a pity that SRAM uses DOT fluid, I do agree that installing the brake hoses indeed was just like a breeze, every rose has it's torn I guess. Where you went for Darimo I choose for Schmolke parts I must admit that an important reason for me was that I did see that you had some issues with Darimo components in your vid's, I must say that I am super happy with my decision to go for Schmolke, however it is still nerve wrecking to torque these expensive components up to spec... I do have one Darimo piece on my bike and that is their carbon seatpost clamp I'm sure it'll bring the weight of your bike down with at least 20grams! The weight of your bike is quite impressive by how light it is! I bought myself an Aliexpres scale but with every try the weight changes with 500 grams while the only thing that has changed during these tries is the time lol. Anyhow, great build, great vid and now it's up to you to enjoy that great bike! Cheers Bob

Sometimes when a caliper wont centre readily it's caused by tension in the brake hose pulling the caliper to one side. It's tricky to deal with as it's clearly not practical to disconnect the hose.

So how many miles can you get from a titanium frame ? My titanium frame ( DAWES ) has two whopping great cracks growing along the driveside chainstay and it's not even reached 6000 miles.

Sure, riding titanium is way more comfortable than riding aluminium, but is it worth the price ?

Are the welds your points of failure?

Its almost as if the chainstay was made in two halves and welded lengthways rather than starting as a tube. Perhaps this explains why the bike company only offered a 5 year warranty on it.

I'll also observe that early on, you casually tightened the headset bearings, mentioning that you'd straighten the bars later, when you straightened the bars, you then tightened down the stem bolts without having ever done a preload on the headset bearings at the top of the stem, off of the stand. You may still find play in the headset when you lock up the front brake and rock the bike forward and backwards. If you have play, put the wheels on the floor, loosen the stem bolts, adjust preload through the top cap and then retighten the stem bolts. If it was me, I'd do this anyway.

I'm assuming you've been riding it, so your current confidence in your brakes is based on practice, not just on theory. On the second matter, preloading the headset takes seconds, so I would just do it. It's good to be comfortable with this, especially of you're going to be routinely loosening the stem bolts for travel, either to remove or rotate the stem. The top cap preloads the bearings, but it's the stem bolts that lock that preload in place. Once the stem bolts are tight, it's not strictly necessary for the top cap bolt to remain tight. This is how such things as tools that store in the steerer are possible.
