Hi all,

I'm just about finised building up a Cinelli Superstar disc with Ultegra R8000. This is my first build with disc and I'm concerned about the clearence between the cassette and dropout. The lockring has been torqued to 40 nm.

Is this ok ???

Looks normal to me.

Post a ride report. I'm always curious about these frames.

Nice looking bike. I'm guessing it is utilizing full length shift housing? As that cable path through the chainstay looks totally fubar.

Yes it does. The gear change is pretty smooth so far. I've had only the trainer when getting my fit sorted.

I had a quick spin yesterday evening and comparing it to my Ridley Fernix the rear end is a lot firmer. I was expecting the compliance to be the same but it's definitely firmer. Steerer seems to be quicker and feels pretty anchored on the front. Did a short couple of sprints and it seems responsive but I will find out more on short steep hills on my next route. There is a couple of niggles I have to sort out, the front derailleur on the big chain ring and 11 on the back gets a bit of rub, if move the cage too match over it rubs against the crank arm. The dropout hanger may be slightly bent as I get a bit rattling in the 11 and the limit screw is just about all out. Also the cause for initial post about clearence was due the bolts for the dropsout not being fully screwed in only 1 of them had loctite, better QC needed here.

When you mean full length housing, I assume you mean from the bottom bracket to the rear derailleur? The reason I ask is that I just picked up one of these and am trying to figure out the cable routing. To me, it seems that the rear derailleur uses full length housing from the derailleur to the bottom bracket. The cables from the shifters are in housing until they enter the top of the bottom tube, but they go through the bottom tube as free cables. Sound right?

Absolutely right. The inner cable goes in and where it comes out from the bottom bracket it's you add the outer cable which goes the length from the bottom bracket through the chainstay to the rear derailleur. There is black plastic fitting under the bottom bracket where the outer fits into.

Thanks! Just waiting for my front brake caliper and wheels to come in to build up the bike. Went with a campy 11 speed group. In hindsight, Shimano would have been smarter for me as I have everything to deal with Shimano brakes (on MTB). Will post a picture when fully built. Shoudl be around 16 lbs fully built.
