I replied yes and Id like to add, even if you dont have the appropriate grease, Id use some other, eitherway.
Also, it is imperative to tighten enough as to deform the olive, but not too much of course

Do you tighten it to 8Nm with a Torque wrench? Or you use a special adapter? Or do you do it approximately with another tool?

There is a crowsfoot wrench, it is 8mm to 1/4 square, so you can use a torque wrench. Usually sram supplies these with brakes.
You want to orientate this extension 90 degrees relatively to the torque wrench, as to not alter the torque.
It can be shown in this pic, the small black one
Technically you can do it by hand, as I did, but its good safety measure

Sram rival brake blades.
Made of aluminum, very heavy. I must reverse engineer carbon ones I think

late to the party on this, however about a month ago my Waltly arrived. Well packaged.

It has 3 uses: gravel, cafe and commutes. For the former I have Hunt 4 season gravel wheels and Michelin 40mm tyres, which is a great combo - they go on with thumbs and seat with a floor pump. For road I use some carbon rims I got with another bike, also on road tubeless - Shwalbe Pro 28mm.

Mine's not a WW build: I wanted external cabling for ease of travel and maintenance. Grouppo is GRX 820 2 x 12 speed which I have to say is great

Amusingly the geo chart they sent was marked us "Moots" and is the exact same as Moots. For anyone in Oz its basically a Curve Kevin but quite a lot cheaper

The end to end process is not super quick so if you have a big event / ride you need to get started months in advance.

Nice, hope you like it. Actually the external cable frame could be possibly lighter than mine, as it ommits the huge 50mm in diameter headtube.
And I agree the end to end process is not swift, and you have to account for the unexpected (mine was 41 days in shipping, stuck in customs)
However, they are light years ahead from a traditional bike builder, with waiting times of 6-12months

Time for some upgrades. I thought I could resist and not upgrade until I hit the 1000km mark, but here we go;
Sram Red E1 chain and Red D1 cassette, hope I saved 100 grams

[HannibalLecter]

Was hoping to save more with this J&L front axle, but it came heavier.

I'm more interested in finding a rear axle to replace the one from Waltly.I remember they used to send a very heavy one.

Yes the rear is ridiculously heavy. Both are 91 grams
For the rear you need flat interface, 166mm length and m12x1 which is not that common. However I have found one, haven't received it yet

And here is the front provided by waltly.
I saved 8 grams, instead of 15, because they sent me (an ebay seller) an axle that was supposed to be a J&L but it was some other crap.
And now I can't find a proper J&L one that ships to Germany.
Why became these so rare I don't have a clue
And a proper Shimano chain checker, made in Japan
And the weight of a cut E1 chain

[Hensem]

My ENVE's front thru axle weight is 33.5g. I don't think I'll be able to find anything significantly lighter and not too expensive. Especially since the ENVE axle has a conical washer, which reduces the chances of finding something lighter. But the rear axle will definitely need to be replaced. I remember from my first frame from Waltly that they are not shy and put probably the heaviest axle in the world.

P.S. Fedex claims that I will receive the new frame today, but judging by the tracking, it is not even in my country yet. Very strange feelings.

J&L have also ones with conical interface (syntace standard) , if you can find them.
Others are extralite and maybe Carbon Ti
As for the delivery, yes it takes patience

[Hensem]

Can you make a photo of parameters of the rear waltly axle,please? I'll send it to the seller and try to buy as a pair. Thanks.

M12x1 (UDH) , 166-167mm total length, 20mm thread length
May I ask, you got an enve fork? How's the weight?
