0. 25 is old school. but keep in mind the 52 runs a degree steeper STA than the 54. this is worth 10-15mm in forward positioning of saddle vis a vis. put another way it limits rearward adjustment by 10-15 versus the 54.
I think the d shape can work well but obviously requires good tolerance on parts. Ridley also uses d shape steerer on their ridley noah bike and all seems fine. I’d prefer normal steerer shape thats been tested and tried as well but here we are.

My bike shop told me that they finally heard from Factor ... take a rolling chassis or get a full bike in 2022. This was for a launch order Ostro, lol. Not sure what my bike shop might have access to, but I can't find a single group set online, so dunno what good the chassis is going to do, but the bike shop made the executive decision to take it.
random question regard T47 BB on the Ostro.
Does the rolling chassis (pizza box) kit come with Adapter cups already to fit DUB style cranks? along with bb30/24mm shimano/rotor cranks?
or do all these need to be purchased separately?
@ichobi maybe you know since you built one recently? Thanks

Obviously, not Factor's fault... the whole industry right now is f***ed. However, I've heard that even for frames/framesets (probably due to various small parts etc) lead times have significantly increased everywhere.
AFAIK, O2 comes only with either 30mm native BB or 24mm reducer, no Dub. My guess would be with Ostro is the same. Of course, you could ask Factor themselves, I think, after they've now solved that steerer plug issue, they'd be fast to respond

I would have access to everything but a frame for a Scott Foil, it is really a weird year for buying cycling stuff (also have everything here for a gravel bike, but Cinelli has pushed back delivery of the frame by 5 months already).ericlambi wrote: ↑Fri Apr 02, 2021 2:21 pmMy bike shop told me that they finally heard from Factor ... take a rolling chassis or get a full bike in 2022.

Mine came with reducers for DUB. There is a second set which I presume was for 24mm cranks (am out of town so can't check)jeho wrote: Does the rolling chassis (pizza box) kit come with Adapter cups already to fit DUB style cranks? along with bb30/24mm shimano/rotor cranks?
Agreed. Luckily, my shop has a new bike takeoff ultegra Di2 gruppo, so will just go with that until DA 12sp is available. I kind of feel guilty about even getting a new bike given the supply issues ... definitely don't need it, just think it's a sharp looking bike and was ready to try out a disc road bike.
BTW, ISN were back on Ostros for GP Miguel Indurain yesterday, so at least for +/- ok roads they're cleared to race them. Let's see what happens today at Flanders.

I have been back and forth with Factor sales team recently. Sram and Shimano 11speed builds can be delivered in June. Full framesets even sooner, May. No clue on when 12 speed Dura Ace though, which what I would like.
If I am transferring my Rotor 3D+ (30mm spindle) cranks over to the OSTRO, will I need to purchase a new BB for the frame? Or will it come with the adapters necessary to fit my crankset without needing a new BB? Rotor just came out with their T47 BB apparently so good timing if I need it.
Last I heard from Factor, OSTRO should be delievered in June if I were to put my order in now.
Also, what do you all think rider height limit would be for the 58cm? I'm rather tall, but 90cm inseam makes me think I can make it work with a 130 or 140 stem. (195.4cm height)
