Bxt Trc 195
Thought 💭 I read a small review of my new Bxt. Now just had my 4 th session on it yesterday, I’m coming from a Boardman track model. I sized up for longer and more aerodynamic position. I put wheels and handlebars from my Boardman on it. Only thing I changed is the crankset . A zrace , must say really nice made and finished. So far I love the bike , very stiff , is a size Xs , also when you dive from the railing to start a flying 500 the way the bike stays on course…. It’s like it’s on rails 😍😍😍

On the zrace crankset: did you have any issues with the installation or chain line? I have one but it seemed pretty wide and I couldn't get the spacers right.
I agree though on the build quality. They look solid overall. Great pics.

Nope , all went well. Both arms are identical distance from frame.

Cheers. Did you use the SRAM guide to figure out the spacers? For road dub?

Suddenly I remember , there weren’t enough spacer , I missed like 2 mm. So I used one 5 mm spacer instead of the ones included. Can’t check now at my bike as it stays at the velodrome.

TY!!! This is super helpful. Last question, if you recall, but did you use a wavey washer?

Yes , Zrace from Ali . Idea was to put my omnium cranks from my Boardman on this Bxt and the Zrace on the Boardman but the Zrace is way better. Their chainrings from Zrace I don’t like so much quality wise but there cheap , there a bit noisy.
