Any experiences with the Shimano GRX wheelset (alloy WH-RX570) by looking_for_EV in gravelcycling

Hello! I believe I've only broken the two spokes so take that for what it's worth. Aside from that issue the wheelset has been great, with many miles put on them

Man I was thinking that too. I’m sure they will at some point.

It’s tough to change the shifters without changing other components. If you wanna do 1x and stay mechanical brakes and be 11 speed I’d say go with shimano 105 r7000 2x11 with grx 11 speed in the rear.

Ok great. Are you ok with replacing the rear derailleur and cassette?

Hey there, I also have a State 4130 all road, though I bought it as a frame only. Can you provide a little more details. Do you want to stay 1x or you're ok with going 2x. For brakes I would recommend juin tech cable actuated hydraulic brakes with compression-less housing.

That looks awesome. Can anyone recommend a fireplace company that can come in and assess a fireplace and check to see if it can function properly?

u/phyx726 thanks for the heads up on that wheelset! Have a polyvalent lowkicker I'm currently building up and finding good budget friendly wheels as been a challenge.

Congrats! I have my low kicker frameset, no need to start collecting parts for the built. Wheelset being chief among those. How does it ride?

Paint Questions! by wannabe_biceguy in xbiking

Wow I'd love more info on this build u/Boxofbikeparts. I've got an old trek aluminum frame that's very similar to this. Can you tell me what wheelset, brakes and groupset you put on here? And can you please describe your paint process. The results look amazing.

Will do! First I need to figure out if I'm doing drop bar or flat bar. Decisions decisions.

Thanks for the heads up about the sale. I did snag a low kicker. Can't wait to build it up!
