Thank you all for the many suggestions!

I think the best solution is the most obvious one, that I dumbly discarded: using the cable guide that slots there. I thought it would not stay in place without cables, but I tried to push it in and it holds reasonably well + has them holes for water egress 👀

Pants are on, I’m out!

Pretty barebones test done by Velo, but interesting topic. What do you think?

Specialized Aethos frame: opinions on seemingly good offer

Specialized Aethos frame: opinions on seemingly good offer - Lemmy.World

Hi all, I am slowly acquiring components to build up a honest mid-high to high-end road bike to keep for as long as possible. I was waiting for the new Time Scylon frame to become available, but I noticed a pretty deep discount on a Specialized Aethos frame for 1800€ (here [https://www.biker-boarder.de/specialized/3130846.html]). UVP lies at 3800€ (Specialized website [https://www.specialized.com/de/de/aethos-rahmenset/p/4221548?color=5440794-4221548]). Apart from the obvious question of taste regarding the color scheme, it looks like a pretty nice offer. The Aethos looks to be made for home mechanics (threaded BB, non-integrated headset, round seat clamp) and ride very well. What are your thoughts? The hypothetical Time Scylon goes for like 5000€, so I would invest much less money. Should I go for it? :)

Good tip! I should still have some of it as I used it in the past.

This is exactly the type of thread I expected when posting for help 😆

Pretty sure it’s less the color and more the shape.

The color sure isn’t helping, though.

3D printed TPU cover.

Seems like an easy shape to replicate. Any newer 3d printer should easily print flexible materials (eg TPU)

I recommend to not cover this hole because it is important to have a drainage hole in case water enters the frame in heavy rain e.g. Most frames have a hole at the bottom bracket area for that reason.

I second this. Leave it open or you’re going to be constantly re-opening it to drain water.

Very good point. It just look big enough to also pick up a lot of dirt. The BB shells are pretty well sealed by their own, so maybe I follow your recommendation, thanks!
