Perhaps it is that way because it is sold ready for facing of not only the BB but also the brake mounts. Framesets are usually sold to professionals at bike shops or teams where they have the tools for that and do that as part of the build.

Whats your take on using normal OD2 one piece cockpits with the new fork shape? Dangerous? Doable? Kind of sad that they have a new fork shape that is not really compatiable to anything else and only offer a stem + handlebar option.

A D shaped steerer. Giant, did you really want to go there?

With the second one he used a lever, the first one was really ok to mount for a tubeless tire. Cadex did a really good with matching the fit of the tires to the rim 👍 If your struggling try some soapy water, it really does wonders if you allow the tire to move on the rim.
