Component Deals & Selection / 2022 - Rotor recommendations?
« on: March 26, 2022, 09:12:30 PM »
I would like to order some rotors for an enduro build and after a few searches on here i'm unsure of what to order.

I'm fairly new to mtb and rotor brakes so don't really have a point of reference to compare anything i might order from Ali.

Any suggestions? I know i want 203 or 220mm.

Anyone know of a company that sells thicker rotors? I have an mt5 calliper i'm using on this build and read they use slightly thicker than normal rotors.

Ztto seem to have mixed reviews.

Do i need floating? Do floating rotors fail at the joins?

Thanks.

Component Deals & Selection / Ali Stems and Bars
« on: February 16, 2022, 05:03:38 AM »
Anyone have experience with some of the cheaper Ali Stems and bars (carbon or alu).


I'd like to grab a cheap silver stem for a dirt jumper, obviously asking due to the consequences of something on the front end failing.

I have that classic cheap Wake stem that i've read can snap so won't be putting that on anything but stuff like the list below, say they're t6 6061 which should be fine if its true...

I have ordered some of the Uno stuff from there but i trust that it's actually Uno which is built to ISO standards. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003430339505.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.1c243c00EBGmSM&mp=1

26er & 27.5 (650b) / Modern slack hardtail frame
« on: February 15, 2022, 08:29:01 PM »
Hi everyone,

i'm new here and i wanted to ask if someone knows of a slackish AM/enduro hardtail frame. I've looked a lot but haven't seen anything below 67' head angles and i'd like to find something at around 64/66.

Preferably something could run 27.5 or 29er wheels.

Cheers
