@@callumcopley6780 not necessarily. When cables are run through a frame that doesn’t have cable routing a “churro” should be used which is a foam sleeve to stop the brake lines from rattling. The Levo should have a routed tunnel the whole way through so this shouldn’t be necessary. The tick may be coming from something else.

In many ways this bike is more similar to an S-Works build, we never claimed it was a “cheap” build. The dropper post adds $675 and 1.2lbs to the build so that is a large portion there that a stock S-Works build doesn’t come with. Additionally we opted for a mountain bike drivetrain which we earlier explained the reasoning behind it but this is also close to 2 pounds heavier. Lastly, the 5Dev titanium cranks added weight and a good portion to the overall cost as compared to an s-works build. The goal of this build was not weight driven. We could absolutely put together a Crux sub 16lbs if that was the goal but for this build there were other priorities.

Send an email to support@betterbolts.com and we can help you build a kit. We also have a Bolt Kit Builder on our website that will help you submit a request for our staff to build a kit for you. These kits need to be built specifically to you bike since some parts may require different hardware.

Definitely a possibility. We have talked about it in the past and have a few ideas rolling around.

20.5lbs

They’re called brake churros. They come with the frame but you can find them from Jagwire and many other brands.

It really depends on how many bolts you are replacing. Titanium is half the weight of steel and on road bikes all bolts are either steel or already titanium if your parts came ti already. On this bike we saw roughly 65 grams of weight savings however on road bikes we typically see anywhere from 50-75g of savings. Titanium also bings many benefits with being stronger and corrosion proof.

@@betterbolts thanks!

We noted this mistake in the description sorry for any confusion!

We used the matte RideWrap!

@@betterbolts thanks a lot for clarifying. I will have these videos on repeat while building the bike! :)

It is a size 54cm.

We touched on it in the video but custom builds always get out of hand. There were definitely areas where this build could have cut costs but that’s not what the rider wanted.

Thread locker is definitely necessary. If you take a look at your user manuals you will see almost every bolt calls for thread locker from the manufacturer. Thread locker helps to stop bolts from rattling loose over time.

Agree, but without that hate😊

My trek Domane AL weighs 17.5 pounds with scram rival. This build is a joke. Not to mention it fits 42s

@@kimwarner6050 fits 47 officially but can take up to 50.

The computer mount is from K-Edge

The price listed is the MSRP of the SRAM Red levers. I totally read the website wrong. That price is supposed to be per side, when I pulled pricing for this part of the video I thought it’s was sold as a set hence both Jake and I’s surprise at the low cost of the Red brakes and levers

All prices listed are MSRP

Make sense 👍. Really great video series.

Gosh I miss my industry pricing😢 currently riding a dented trek checkmate😅

Final weight was 20.5 pounds! For reference and stock Crux pro is 18.6 with a saddle bag.

I run that crux dsw with shimano grx di2, zipp 303s + 42mm pathfinders, bar-stem carbon, saddle prologo dimension and it weights 8.2kg without paddles and bottlecages

@@crack0nhow does it ride on the gravel. I’ve been looking and everyone says it’s rougher than the carbon?

@@Matthewg-yn9vx I like it. It's a bit like riding a roadbike off-road. It's not uncomfortable by any means. It feels like a Racebike for offroad 😅.But I never rode the carbon frame.

The chain used is a XO t-type chain meant for use with the new SRAM 10-52t transmission. SRAM has started making their T-Type mountain chains in the flat top style.

The Crux DSW frameset comes in at 1399 grams.

Carter here - You are totally correct! I was handed an unpacked bottom bracket and just assumed we put in a standard one. What I said still holds true, the regular bottom brackets are great and there is no real need for a ceramic one unless you plan to do a ton of racing.

@@betterbolts I totally agree 👍🏻

Absolutely! The bike will come with a UDH hangar installed allowing you to use a standard derailleur.

It’s a DUB bottom bracket which is 29mm

It does not list this on their website. It appears in person that these cranks are straight but this would be a great question to ask them directly to confirm. We would hate to give out the wrong information.

Stick around for part 3!

Yes we do

Glad it helped! We try to explain as much as possible without being boring.

Glad it was helpful!

That is correct

not really bro, classic ones are lighter and serve same purpose. Noticeable difference is not there. There is just 700 things that are a more worthy upgrade. If you need light go carbon, if not then not. but TI en crank makes no sense imo

@@ignaciosevil2157 Was meaning you can't beatTi crankarms especially those in terms of looks but good old aluminum arms are best for price performance.✌🏻🚴‍♂️

@@reinholdachleitner2069 ohh by looks SOLELY. yeah i can see that. But not entirely sure if thats only when its brand new and then goes south. i havent seen the ACTUAL titanium ones. Ive seen the normal ones that i believe are not TI but are 5DEV.

, Very astonished my heart of cycle master technology of cycle universe.. I am form Bangladesh. ❤ the cycle land excellent work

Great to hear!

Rad! Make sure to get some Better Bolts on there!

​@@betterbolts Absolutely! Now stay outta my head. It's scary in there 😂

Stick around for the final video

Much appreciated!

This is a size 54

@@betterbolts On official website I am spec'ed for a 54cm size frame, but reach looks very long. Since you measured the setup for part from the mountain bike frame, can you provide the rider hight and whether you went with recommended frame size or the one that actually suited him best, geo wise?

The rider is 5’9” and is recommended to be on a size 54cm frame. We adjusted stem length and bar choice to give this bike a bit more of a mountain bike feel. That being said we still plan to make some tweaks as he gets comfortable on the bike.

We think he’s pretty cool too!

Permatex Copper is what we use here at the shop!

This was a really fun one to build!

Thanks! Make sure you subscribe and stick around for the rest of the series and future builds to come!

@@betterbolts Will do.👍🏻
