Thanks!
It is a 56 110bcd chainring of AliExpress. The front derailleur hanger is removable however I do not have the right screwdriver at the moment. But will do.

It´s not a NW chainring. Do you think it won´t drop the chain?

Not really. The chain is pretty tight and I have already tried it on some bumpy roads.
The roads in Holland are usually smooth.

Ok.
Its just I have dropped chain on my roadbike while using NW chainring and Shimano non-clutch rear der. Coasting thru bothhole when chain is on the 11 or 12 sprocket.
Chainring was oval though.

Why the XTR 12 speed chain on your 11 speed setup?

I wanted bigger pulleys from Kogel bearings but could not get them here, then I started to think why not XTR pulleys and followed by the chain.
The chain is a lot more silent on the steel rotor Uno cassette, I think because of the longer inner plate witch grips the cassette teeth better.
So far no problem and shifting is really good.
Shimano says that the 12 speed chain can vibrate on some chainrings!

Gotta admit, it's a cool looking bike. The downtube is an interesting shape.

Here is my Trek Speed Concept 7.8. Year 2012-13 or something.
Bought second hand and thought I won´t change/upgrade a thing :D but could not resist of course.
Disc wheel is 10sp PRO with 11sp machined cassette. Can´t use the largest cog, because der hits the wheel. So I adjusted the low limit screw and can use 10 cogs.

Have you tried Rotor Uno cassette? It worked for my 10 speed Dt Swiss disk wheel.

No I haven´t. It doesn´t really bother me. Hope I won´t need this low gear in any race.

After almost 8 years on BMC TT02, i replaced it with a Basso Konos. Got the Frameset, incl. Bar, Brakes, and everything, really really cheap in new condition.
i like the geometry with the 75°-seat angle and the short headtube.

The first race will be on 28.04., looking forward to it and preparing it carefully!

Picture with 38mm-training wheelset.

The saddle-bb-offset is 5 cm.

Further it has Bepro Powermeter-pedals and a Dash stage 9.-saddle as "special features".
Weight is 7,92 kg

Yes from USA but had to pay customs and taxes I knew in advance but TriRig are relaxed about that.
I think TriRig is better quality than my outgoing Zipp Vuka Stealth.
