LBS mechanic just called and Fyberlites won't work with the Clavicula SE/e-Tap as it's about 0.7mm off.
This is my WW build and now it looks like it may not happen.

Should I go Carbon-Ti or Rotor Qarbon in a compact/sub-compact? This is my last bike.

Well THM BB is not exactly light atleast mine is not... this is for your RCA so maybe you get lucky. You can do extralite and that would still shift better then Carbon-Ti

Part of the reason for getting fiberlyte is in the looks, and carbon-ti can look the part as well, so I think it's a good match. I'm going to try their carbocam rings real soon actually, with an electronic groupset hopefully shifting wouldn't be a problem.

Good point there about the BB weight - with that included the THM cranks doesn't save much weight at all over the Sram red BB30 cranks.

Going to call FWB tomorrow to see if I can change my order to the X-Carbo's.

Thanks.

Carbon-ti chain rings shift ok. Not bad, just ok (they are not DA or Paraxis, that is.) But they look nice, I'll tell ya...

I first put them on an etap setup, then switched them to 9150. Di2 works better with them (I think it because of the di2's faster shifts...)

I think the THM BB is lighter for an RCA then the one used for my Parlee , how much I dont know. But yes comparing Red Cranks+rings+BB to THM cranks+BB+Praxis rings.... really not a huge weight savings for the $$$$. Somewhere in another thread I posted the difference ?

Best to call them too, as the website isn't updated real-time when they get in a new shipment.
