just got a frameset, and hawk racing bb DUB. Looking for confirmation, that i'll use no spacers between the cups and frame. Then a 3mm drive side spacer between BB and crankset. Thanks in advanced!

What is your opinion on handlebars sizes? I was struggling with deciding between a 38 and 40.

Thanks to the group for answering my questions over the last week. The folks in this forum are Very Helpful....
I have the local LBS building up my 2022 SL7 Expert - Size 58. I hope to have it tomorrow or the next day. Once I have the bike, I will start making the following changes:
- Swap wheels to 2022 Zipp 404 Firecrest: Being Installed now.
- Swap tires to tubeless Schwalbe Pro TLE tires (25mm front tire, 28mm rear): Being installed now.
- Add Amazon XXX clone bottle cages: Being installed now
- Bike fit (may need a different length stem): Scheduled for later this week.
- Add Shapeways garmin front and rear mounts: On Order
- Swap handlebar to Roval Rapide handlebar: On Order
- Swap 11-30 cassette to 11-34 cassette: On Order
Things I may do later:
- Swap to a lighter saddle.
Do you see any other things high priority things I should consider? I am not going for a super light setup. I just want to do the low hanging (high bang for buck) things...

Hey All
Just purchased a couple of direct mount hangers for Shimano rear derailleur the usual suspect Sigeyi and a brand called Redshift from AliExpress.
Negligible weight difference but does not show on my scales both 12g. Sigey says 12.1g and Redshift 12.5G.
very subtle diffrences in design when compared side by side up close and same material 7075 T6
Sigeyi £34.99 and Redshift £1.47!
Received today after ordering on 30 Dec.
Anyone else purchased same hanger? All good quality wise no snapping or cracking?
