- Welcome back! In this video we get the Crux DSW into a fully functioning bike that is only lacking the final touches. We go in depth on brake setup bottom bracket spacing as well as how to install SRAM Transmission.
If you have not already watched it check out our previous Crux build to get you up to date with the goal and direction of this bike. Make sure to subscribe and hit the bell to be notified when we drop the rest of the build series!
As promised in the video here is some information on the D'Aluisio Smartweld (DSW) as it is really really interesting: www.specialize...

Excellent part 2 video,the 5Dev titanium crankset is really beautiful,can't beat titanium crankarms.💯👌🏻🚴♂️
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
Love this!! The explanation process is top notch!!! Any question I may have thought you guys covered!!!
Great to hear!
Fantastic series, gents 👌🏻
Much appreciated!
hey thanks, one of the rare videos showing how to put the hose sleeve.
I was really struggling with it on the diverge evo e5
Glad it helped! We try to explain as much as possible without being boring.
Awesome series gents!!! best on the Tube. Looking forward to finished product and getting some BB for my new Crux build (when I decide between alloy and carbon) Looking forward to what your customer thinks of its ride characteristics.
I bought all my Red AXS brake caliper bolts and mounts from you guys in oil Slick matching colors, plus you're Local too..great
Great detailed video guys. Learned a lot. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
This series is right on time! I just decided this weekend to dump my Crockett to grab a DSW frameset to build up over the winter.
Rad! Make sure to get some Better Bolts on there!
@@betterbolts Absolutely! Now stay outta my head. It's scary in there 😂
I'd love to see the budget breakdown video at the end
Stick around for the final video
Love it! Would be nice to see the final weight of this build.
Stick around for part 3!
Great video!
However i believe (judging from the red covers) the bracket you installed is in fact a ceramic version.
So quite a fancy model.
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 👍🏻
Never seen Sram cranks spin freely and this is just another example.
On a band new bottom bracket you often will never see them spin freely as that would mean there is little to no grease in the bearings. Most of the time when cranks spin with little to no drag it is a good idea to check you bottom bracket for wear.
@betterbolts that’s bs! Even my cannondale cranks which I just fitted with NTN bearings spin amazingly well. The shimano cranks I fitted with a Hambini Race BB spins for days. My giant Revolt with dub on the other hand, hardly spins at all. SRAM BBs are just crap!
Hi there, Unfortunately, I damaged the ''S'' Logo paint on the head tube of my Diverge.
Is there a way to repair this paint damage?
Hi, great series! One doubt: is a flattop chain OK for the 1x drive with 10-50smth cassette? I thought it is only for "smaller" ones like 10-40smth.
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.
Do you have a link to those brake line foam tube thingies? I couldnt make out the name in that accent.. 😮 thanks!
They’re called brake churros. They come with the frame but you can find them from Jagwire and many other brands.
Any chance of making Ti bolts for SRAM shifter clamps?
Definitely a possibility. We have talked about it in the past and have a few ideas rolling around.
Hi guys! I'm currently looking to install GX transmission on the same crux dsw frameset. As a result of my research, it says the cassette is optimized for a 55mm chainlink, so I'm wondering how you guys accomplished that with a non dub "wide" axle. Thank you!
chainline sorry*
This is where SRAM makes its confusing. Road DUB wide is the is same spacing as standard DUB mountain. The crank spindle in the bike is what SRAM calls DUB wide road. You will need some spacers (typically supplied with SRAM bottom brackets) on either side of the axle to properly center the axle. We also used a 3mm offset chainring.
@@betterbolts thank you! very clear
Do the 5 Dev cranks have offset (angle like a SRAM crank), or are they straight. I tend to hit my ankles on straight cranks.
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.
Thanks for the build video! I had a question for you guys. I plan on buying that new crux dsw as well, but I wanna use a sram rival explr derailleur that doesn’t use udh. Would I still be able to use it on that bike? Thanks in advance.
Absolutely! The bike will come with a UDH hangar installed allowing you to use a standard derailleur.
My apologies if I missed it, but could you estimate how much weight your bolts saved? I am trying to lighten all of my bikes, and numbers matter. Thank you so much!
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!
Great build but if that's a bsa BB with a 30mm axle then the bearings are tiny!
It’s a DUB bottom bracket which is 29mm
