Hi. Received my frameset recently. It might be a stupid question, but is it normal to have a hole on the bottom of the frame? If yes, do you tape this to prevent water going in?

yes that’s obviously normal, so water can get out of your frame

Yesterday I mounted a pair of 32c Vittoria Corsa Next tires (on Enve 2.3 wheels) and found they had plenty of room on the 61cm frame. Anyone using a 61cm frame try something larger?

I'd be curious to see if the 34c Corsa Next's could work or even the 35c RH Bon Jon's.

-Thanks, Todd

I'm planning to buy Ostro Frameset, does the frameset come with t47 bb for either Shimano 24 or Sram dub. Does the frame have standard t47 bb? Is anyone running rotor carbon cranks with 30mm spindle. If yes, which bottom bracket are you using?
As others have mentioned, it comes with 29mm and 24mm reducers. If anyone's thinking about using GXP go with these ones by Prime. They're made of aluminum, not plastic resin and there's a rubber gasket and seal.

Anyone know where I can purchase these adaptors? I seem to have lost the adaptor for SRAM dub and can't find anywhere to buy in the US.

My Rotor configuration was the following:

Axle - 30mm Standard Road
Crank - Aldhu Carbon Superlight
Spacers - Standard Road Kit (bought these just in case I needed them)
BB - Factor uses the 30mm T47 CeramicSpeed BB (Factor ships the 24mm Wheels MFG BBRight reducers/adaptors with the bike - at least it did with mine - in case you want to use something like the Dura-ace crankset)
Where did you get the "superlight" carbon cranks? Are they are new version to the normal Aldhu carbon cranks? How much lighter?

Yes, I think they should fit. The both on the right side should be 1mm spacers, the others are bigger. As long as you don't need 0,5mm spacer you should be fine.

Already searched for the "superlight" version and found the same. :mrgreen:
There is only one Rotor Aldhu Carbon available...
