That saddle clamp is a pain for the eyes. Did anyone already find a sleaker alternative?

Saddle clamp is also annoying to mount. But yeah, it works. Double you can get another one that works with the default seatpost. I don't really mind the look of it.

I installed a Wolf Tooth Clamp to Match the Chain Guide, bar Plugs and ahead cap.

Ah need! That works? No play etc? I used elektrical tape around the hoses, should work I guess. We shall see in the future. For now its all fine.

Just got my sworks power mirror saddle and installed. Bit Iess weight and more comfort. I always mount them at 180 degrees / flat, works great for me.

Just need the painted cover but not shipped yet. :(
Yes thats about 0,75 mm and sufficent for a nice moving fork. I also replaced the bearings.

Would using a front derailleur hurt the tire clearance on this frame?

I think a AXS FD might be a Problem because of the chunky battery

It would be either a GRX or 105 di2 FD.

Grx is fine. I use 12sp ultegra DI2 FD. Ofcourse not 50mm but 45mm-47mm should be completely fine

That looks really good, especially with the black bolt. Will go for that one, thanks :).

That's a seatpost clamp, not a saddle clamp! :) But yeah, great stuff. RYET makes fine stuff.

@Uberflo: did you already do a first test ride? How are you liking the ride?

No, it will take some time as the weather gets bad and snow is incoming. I will also change the PROLOGO bar tape against Silca.
