[@LasangPilipino]

hello @TwistedWheels where can I buy the compression plug? TIA

[@TwistedWheels]

@@LasangPilipino check the description of the video

[@LasangPilipino]

Thank you.😊

[@hockysa]

oh my goodness my jaw dropped seeing that expansion plug. didn't know something like that existed!

[@mirama1990]

Can‘t wait for the final build I have both the aethos and the crux and would love to do something similar ❤

[@TwistedWheels]

Me too haha. Will make a video as soon as I get the final component ✊🏼

[@Coreybrowning]

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]

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

[@Coreybrowning]

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

[@TwistedWheels]

I’ll show it in a build video ;)

[@KasperPaghRasmussen]

@@TwistedWheels Yes please... Did you consider putting in a thin tube as enforcement, and then drilling an opening, like you did longer down?? (Have a Cervelo with outside cabled ; ) )

[@JFomo]

So sick, I hope Specialized brings out a Crux with intergrated cabling soon.

[@pmcqueen]

Looking forward to the build video!

[@TwistedWheels]

The build video is on!

[@BianchiEV4]

I am missing the part where the brakehose comes from steerer into the left leg of the fork !?

[@TwistedWheels]

Watch the main video that I’ve just released ;)

[@mikeynon]

Didn’t see you mention axles. Overfast from panda podium will save quite a bit if they fit crux. I have them on my checkpoint

[@festerofest4374]

Yea, those definitely belong on a build like this. My Checkpoint is an SL5 so doesn’t really warrant the $200+ weight weenie axles but they would be so perfect for this bike for sure.

[@TwistedWheels]

I’ll be using carbon axles but not from overfast

[@willaustin3957]

[@dennisproskourin2417]

[@genqua228]

This is freaking awesome, can’t wait to see the full build!!

[@festerofest4374]

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!

[@Александр-е7ф9н]

Awesome build!

[@EveryTongue]

Looks awesome, pink was the perfect choice

[@michaelmechex]

Finally I see someone start a bike build correctly! By making a list of requirements and desired features. It's surprisingly rare for how essential it is for a good bike build.

[@TwistedWheels]

Thanks mate. It was also to set the expectations for the lightest gravel bike in the world claim :)

[@alainpfammatter8224]

the frame looks amazing.

[@migatron7359]

S-Works logo on the underside looks crazy nice

[@SkylarsRnD]

Man thats gonna be an absolute stunner of a bike. Love your attention to detail! Btw the raw carbon on the rear makes me drool.

[@BikeLife154]

Loved the way you ripped up the warranty! It made me laugh. Without trying to be negative, I’m not feeling the colour, but sure it will be a great build.

[@rharmer5500]

Nice work with the Cricut Joy to create custom labels!

[@stephenshepherd5068]

kudos to your chief designer! looking forward to seeign the rest of the build - keep coming back to your content (subscribed way back) to look at the wheel builds - looking for light spec for upcoming big climbing events (road)

[@TwistedWheels]

Drop me a line via Instagram, I have a 869g wheelset for sale (new)

[@DMVMTB]

beautiful build

[@steffanzwerg3424]

I don't understand the brake line thing. Did you let the stem protrude so that the cable could enter the steerer tube?

[@Lachie_1770]

Did anyone with expertise in carbon have any input into the modifications on the cable port on the steerer or was it just wrapped in 3K weave and hope for the best?

[@dmlopezleon]

Gran trabajo, se ve espectacular, impresionante. Y seguro que quedara super ligera.

[@kirillvovchenko966]

Олег, привет. Есть пара вопросов по SRAM. 1. Если я ставлю задний переключатель Force 1 на 11 ск, могу я систему поставить Force AXS на 12 ск.? 2. С покрышками 35 мм брать систему WIDE или обычной ширины. Это всё на Topstone.

[@BerudPL]

crazy color for the decals, but it fits! nice project, i like bare carbon side corespoding with light part. cheers

[@TwistedWheels]

Thanks! ✌🏼

[@hugoarraiolos8665]

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?

[@bebopman5]

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.

[@TwistedWheels]

The full build video is coming too!

[@coverstem]

Your stem need a cover(stem) 😂😂😂, good job Oleg!

[@KasperPaghRasmussen]

Who made the expansion plug?

[@robnolte2547]

Looking great so far!!! Army green logos would have came out real nice too but definitely not as stealthy as what you have.

[@TwistedWheels]

Army green was in my top 3 colours I was choosing from!

[@StenHassler]

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]

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).

[@StenHassler]

@@TwistedWheels thank you for clarifying. Well then I would go for the 4 piston option all day!

[@silvanandermatt1096]

Awesome work ❤

[@RaffelMTB]

lovely well done

[@pierrex3226]

What paint / top coat did you use? I'm not familiar with the name you mentioned. I hope you protected the raw carbon with something uv resistant though...

[@TwistedWheels]

Cerakote. Carbon was clear coated

[@global_nomad.]

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)

[@TwistedWheels]

I can build you a wheelset - drop me a DM in Instagram

[@ritxises9542]

NIce work....Is the expander (minute 4:02) sold as such? It is done expressly, thank you

[@TwistedWheels]

Yes. Intend smarty

[@vovantus926]

it's beautiful!🤩

[@jonasarentzbach4696]

Super awesome build! Why aren't you going for an integrated handlebar?

[@TwistedWheels]

I don’t know any light and quality option that would also look good. My combo will weigh 235g in total.

[@jonasarentzbach4696]

Fair enough - I'm also building a Crux - with Shimano DA Di2 12 speed, and just bought the Roval rapid Cockpit for it. I think it would look extremely nice with the integrated cables. Which wheels are you putting on? And again great build, looking forward to see it complete. @@TwistedWheels

[@TwistedWheels]

⁠@@jonasarentzbach4696 Roval Rapid is 70g heavier and doesn’t have an opening to allow for the internal cable routing through the steer tube.

[@guspachio4977]

Wow, and well done so far! Except the pink, I would have used orange for the logos. Orange logos would be very sharp with your color scheme. Keep up the great work!

[@TwistedWheels]

Thanks!

[@_________4292]

@@TwistedWheels paint old one 😅

[@hockysa]

I’ve watched this video and the Aethos one multiple times and I still can’t figure out the cable routing from the steerer into the stem. Actually Aethos makes sense because of the D shaped steerer but with this round steerer does top not sit flush with the stem?? Or have you cut the steerer a little short so the cables go over the top of the steerer but under the stem cap and into stem. Or is there another notch cut out at the top of the steerer to let the hoses out into the stem??

[@TwistedWheels]

There is a small cutout at the top of the steer - watch my video where I’m building this bike. I’m explaining it there

[@hockysa]

@@TwistedWheelsI’ve watched the video multiple times but that specific area at the top of the fork steerer isn’t mentioned or shown.

[@TwistedWheels]

@@hockysanot sure how you watch it 😆 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWmTaYyYmtaLrpIsi=aM4CwQFt7Rvteo2Z Minute 4 onwards

[@hockysa]

​@@TwistedWheels definitely watched that section. You mention how the cables will go into the handlebar -> stem -> steer tube from the top. I'm not sure how you; a) close the top cap if cables are going over the top of the steerer b) the cables coming out of the stem get through the steerer I watched it again and a top cutout isn't shown only the bottom one for the rear cable to exit the fork.

[@TwistedWheels]

[@AdamPopovec]

BTW since you are using Sram lots of time, there is no problem to disconnect the brakes without needed to bleed them again :)

[@TwistedWheels]

Yes, but how will you pull the hoses from the handlebar if there is a nut at the end of the hose?

[@AdamPopovec]

@@TwistedWheelstrue. Forgot my Vision Metron 5D ACR has enough room for everything in :) And I remember Prime Primavera Aero handlebars had enough room to pull it just through.
