A 650 x 47 can be run with fenders and that would be the max size.
At 700c the max tire with fenders is about 38mm, depending on the tire.
Spork 3.0 Recommended Expansion Plug
We’ve used FSA, Ritchey, Cane Creek, and ENVE compression plugs with equal success. We quite often see manufacturer recommended torque specifications that are not sufficient for their intended tasks (for instance handlebars or seat posts that slip).
We would do the following:
- Clean the inside of the steer tube and the plug with alcohol to make sure it is dry and has max friction.
- Consider using friction paste (same as a seat tube) if you like.
- Go to the torque it was slipping at and add 1nm then see if it still slips. If it does add another. You won’t blow out the steer tube with a couple of extra newton meters of torque as it is extremely robust.
wheight spork 1.2
Expect around 550 grams depending on steer tube length.
Flaanimal 5.0 Force 22 Front Der
We don’t have any way to contact you so if you could send us a note through the website we’ll get cracking on this.
Flaanimal 5.0 Force 22 Front Der
Brad, You need a clamp housing stop for the build. We have those and can send you one.
Light Mounting Bracket
That is a Supernova bracket. We don’t sell it on our website. We only include it on builds that include a dynamo headlight.
Ideal size for me
Based on the info we have you would fit a 52cm. Unfortunately we’ve sold out of those for 2020. We expect to have those back in stock in early 2021.
Thanks!
Cable Routing
That’s a great question so we reached out to FSA and they got right back to us.
The ACR system will only work on the Flaanimal with the press-in cups.
Here is what you would need:
ACR/ICR requires a 1.5 bearing up top and bottom. The 44mm headtube will work – but requires an external upper cup too.
