Just had some of these Kocevlo carbon bars arrive:

222g in size 38. Quality seems good. Holes are designed around electronic groupsets with fully internal routing - this is being used on a mechanical external build so I will just run the cables on the flat underside of the bar. Shape is nice. No noticeable flex.

I picked up these iiiPro disc rotors awhile back. They're a few grams heavier than my lightweight Onirii disc rotors I was using, but braking definitely has more bite. I liked them so much, I ordered a second set. Highly recommended!

How do they perform compared to Ultegra/DuraAce OEM rotors?

Guys, one last hurrah. Has anyone gotten these titanium bits? Any feedback?

Looking specifically at Ti because I want to match it with my Ti frame that will be delivered next week. If these aren't good, I will simply order my regulars (Uno, Elita).

Hi guys,

hope I am not spoiling the theme but I'd just like to know which powermeter you recommend? Is it still the magene or is there any other thats worth buying? Road bike usage... Thanks

[ZacItaly15]

I'm very happy with my "old" 4iiii left arm only powermeter coupled with Shimano crankset

[SillyMochi]

Depends on what your "starting position" is:

Replacing the Shimano cranks on your current bike to get power? ==> Magene PES P505 Base is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to go!
Building a new bike?
Going for "good enough" ==> Magene PES P505 Base
or weight weenie build? ==> Standalone Magene P505 spider + lightweight carbon cranks or Easton based PM + cranks

Having the full titanium stem, seat post and spacers looks very blingy! I would just get it. The closest thing in the US at those prices would be Ritchey polished alloy components, so might as well go with the full ti component set!

Replacing the shimano one… am quite a noob regarding powermeters/cranks… I’d just like to upgrade my bike a bit, ofc not for large chunk of dough.

[SillyMochi]

Then the Magene Base is figuratively made for that. Especially for "beginner bike mechanics". Easiest swap ever. Just remove your current cranks and install the Magene crank/PM. That's it, go ride, enjoy accurate power readings. No need to swap BBs or axles or single cranks that don't exactly match the other side or whatever.

You can even use your Shimano chain rings if you prefer them over the Magene.

[buttcrack]

Thanks a lot, just what I needed/wanted to hear…

W or w/o chainrings the price difference is around 60$, I guess its worth it?

[SillyMochi]

Depends. The Magene chain rings aren't bad but nothing to write home about either. For 60 USD I'd probably give them a pass and either use my Shimano rings from the crank I have at home or get some Stone/PassQuest rings instead.

[toxin]

agree, i have them and they work, but that's about it. I have to max out my FD so it just barely clears the crank arm, but it shifts under normal conditions

I have some of these on order. The cut of the disc looks similar to the Campy disc, so I'm hoping they perform similarly. I wish they made one in a 180.
