+1 wrt compression plug. Mine fits tightly. Even when I losen the stem bolts, I can't pry it out without giving the stem a little upward push.

When test-mounting the stem, I noticed that the compression plug they supplied with the frame has no top cap screw. This makes sense because the Quickset doesn't need a traditional preload from the top cap, but the plug fits so loosely that I can imagine it jumping/rattling around on cobblestones or rough roads. Have y'all in this thread had issues with that?
No, zero issues. Compression from stem bolts keep it really tight.
Only rattling noise was coming from rear brake housing, inside the top tube. Easy fix with foam sleeve.
Thanks folks. Since I will not have dialed in my position for the first few rides, I will have a spacer on top of the stem before I cut it.
When finally cutting the stem, the Time manual is not super clear to me about the procedure for using a non-Time stem. It merely says: "raise the height of the stem, and subtract 1mm from it before cutting" I am assuming this means the steerer needs to be slightly shorter than the stem/last spacer so that the compression sleeve rests on top of it, exactly the same as with a standard top cap?

I've been wondering why the BB is so high (65mm bb drop) in the Time Alpe d'Huez and Look 785. Did it start out as a crit bike? I'd love to eventually get an Alpe d'Huez (2023, 01, 21, whatever) but I'm a bit hung up on this number. Does anyone know the story behind this?

IIRC my measurements was 0.5-0.8mm for the steerer undercut. So 1mm is safe. Before cutting I was also running with a 20mm chimney. Noprob as the compression plug is long enough

Exactly my thought. I think the old 01/21 geometries are more balanced.

Awesome, thanks. I expect that I should have the build done this weekend, will post a nice photo.

Mine is same (65mm BB drop) and short wheelbase, just as Time.
Still not unstable..
I wonder if it's some old school thing, Ridley also have similar BB drop.

Well they've said no Scylon update / replacement until 2024 ... and despite prior reports on this thread of it being removed from production, it is still in production. This direct from Time.
That would just leave a potential endurance bike. Assuming that they don't do a 'real' gravel bike, vs all-road that the ADHX is.
Time have been posting photos of the new ADH on instagram with the tag "endurance" ... so, I think thats it. I would have thought that an endurance bike in 2023 might take a 32c tyre ... so nothing for me there, but otherwise a nice bike IMHO.

Last year I was told by their customer service that there would be an updated Fluidity, but whether that materializes and when is a question I'd really like to see answered. Honestly, if I were in the market for a "modern" endurance bike, I'd get the ADHX, as it ticks all the boxes for me (32mm tire width, mechanical 2x drivetrain, decent weight and Time quality), but I'd like a stack/reach ratio that is not the same as on the ADH

On the ADH 23 has anyone done a deep dive on bar and barstem options which work with the Deda headset? My frame is on order and I'm looking at any options other than the DCR system which can achieve the same integration without using a Deda bar.

You'll likely still need to use the Deda upper bearing top cover (56mm) that comes with the Superbox stem. The new ENVE integrated stem *may* be an option with that cover if you want a -7 deg stem.

I've been in contact with Time recently, and they say (and even sent a pic) Deda have come out with a new Superbox stem which basically enables "slammed" setup without the previous additional spacer, which mandated several mm of additional stack increase.
As long as you have that stem, you could use any bars provided they have a hole in the middle and full internal routing.
ACR handlebars also should work.
