ordered housing from ali shorturl.at/jlxQ2 and shorturl.at/mnuD7 for brakes
I just have to buy tires and wait for all the deliveries, there is almost no money left, I’m looking for Conti 4000 or 5000 clinchers, have some lightweight maxxis tubes

The assembly got stuck, the planet x brakes arrived. That this is some kind of old revision? The distance between the pads is only 25mm, my rim has an outer width of 23mm and they cannot be adjusted, when you press the brake lever they immediately abut against the rim. Am I missing something or are they really made for old rims, up to 19mm wide or something like that? The year of manufacture of the brakes is 10, as I understand it in 2011 they made them wider

conti gp5000 25mm tires were bought, for some reason the weight is 232g - heavy, also maxxis tubes - 66g each.
also link housing from Ali is here
unfortunately bad news, uno stem with titanium screws and light housing didn't delivered from Ali.
and will they come at all, since I am from Ukraine and we were attacked, the borders are closed and mail does not work even within the country.
In any case, you can't ride a bike right now because of the risk of air attacks, so assembly is delayed, but I will definitely assemble the caad12 of my dreams
good luck

Hello guys. I am without work and money, but I am still alive. Assembled CAAD12, although not all spare parts arrived. Had to use a bad cork baretape that came free with the handlebar from Ali.
weight is under 30g. Brakes and RD housing is links RISK from Ali, all other housing is cheap LifeLine - heavy, but that's all I had, light ones from Ali will not come. Also, there are no bolts for bottle cages yet
Weight is 6.380g! If all the parts arrived, the weight would be under 6.300. I am very satisfied and I hope that in the future I will be able to put here all the parts that I wanted.
Soon I will compile a detailed spreadsheet with the weight and price of all components

I'm alive, I made a detailed sheet with weight and cost, everything is in the first post. I have already done several hundred km, overall very satisfied
Unfortunately, not all the necessary parts could be bought and delivered, since there are problems with deliveries and it is unlikely to be better.
The war continues in the country, it's getting worse, but I am alive and this is the main thing, fortunately we can drive on asphalt roads, but it is forbidden to move into forests and gravel roads.
and thanks to those who helped with advice on how to install these brakes

I'm still using mine (heavier cast alloy version) and switch from 20.5 wide to 25 mm wide rims pretty easily. Just by releasing the wire a few mm's. When they "age" the spring may lose it's original strength. You can adjust it by screwing the little screw on the opposite side of the cam. With brand new pads it may be a challenge to fit them with wide rims. For the price they really are good brakes (for me at least).
