Component Deals & Selection / Re: Any chance this noname "MH-C167" Magnesium Road Frame is legit?
« on: November 06, 2024, 11:06:47 AM »
What do you mean by legit? Its a bike frame.
The paint looks terrible. BB and brake mounts look like they're painted over.
It could work fine as a tight budget build, but keep your expectations as low as the price.

Revisiting this thread. Anyone with experience in the last year on this brand. Found these and they seem to check all the boxes...

Aside from being old school narrow, they seem ok.

I received the new bolt and replaced the shimano preload bolt I was using as a placeholder. The new bolt is longer and much more robust than the shimano preload bolt. Can't really remember the fine details of the original bolt, but the new one has not come loose at all.
Overall, its a great purchase. If there's a price drop for 11.11, then its a no brainer. Go for it!

Riro and Lexon have updated carbon cranks that look nice. Though that personal preference.
The older Riro carbon crank is a bit cheaper if you’re on a tight budget.


If you want cheap and functional, Senicx.

Dropper post cost me like 120 used, the fucking lever and barrel adjuster will cost me 80 lol.

How? Are you buying a bougie (wolftooth/PNW) dropper lever? I've heard good things about the ztto or meroca ones on Ali if you're looking to save some cash.

Metal Frames / Re: Does anyone have any experience with this Alu Gravel frame from Qi-Long?
« on: October 30, 2024, 10:31:17 AM »
For less than $200 shipped I wouldn't expect a whole lot, but if its rideable its not a bad deal.
If you were in the US I would recommend the ozark trail gravel bike as its hard to beat value.

The free shipping makes it a pretty good deal indeed. Rare to see alloy frames with free shipping.

Apparently seaboard makes a flat bar specific gravel frame if you don’t mind alloy.

I just found this on AliExpress: $268.98 | SEABOARD CT1 Road Gravel Frame 700C Disc Brake Barrel Shaft Aluminum Fork nternal Wiring Flat Handle Aluminum Alloy Frame

Saw this failed Toseek fork on angrybikemechanic on insta. No context given unfortunately.

Vendor Discussion & Reviews / Re: Aliexpress free return with framesets?
« on: October 24, 2024, 03:25:01 PM »
Yeah, I don't foresee a seller making it easy to return a frame. Probably really strict parameters for that. Like damage upon opening the box with pics to verify or something like that.

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: front suspension gravel?
« on: October 20, 2024, 11:46:29 AM »
I’m more partial to the Lauf style of suspension fork, though I’m never used one. Just makes more sense being maintenance free and light weight. Can’t really tune it though.

The fork in question. Seems super generic. Like the kocelvo or Lutu gravel forks.
