Sales & Classifieds / Re: Yuanan Carbon fiber wheelsets double 11 discount promotion
« Last post by willyroo on Today at 09:16:28 PM »Hi everyone,
After much reading here and various YT channels about Elite Wheels, I reached out to Leon, and after going through various options, purchased the 45mm YAR45-01.
This is 18.5/28.0 inner/outer width, Shimano centrelock and RD13 hubs, Pillar Wing20 spokes.
USD430 + USD80 shipping to Australia.
After a few 100 kms, they're perfect for a Giant Defy endurance bike. They almost make climbing fun, very responsive.
Thank you to Leon for a great wheelset at a great price.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Tavelo Aero Frame
« Last post by toxin on Today at 07:52:03 PM »Winspace being open mold was better hidden for a while. I would expect adapt don't sell d2c from how barebones their website and range of offerings on it is, so they've never attempted to make themselves known to the public.

« Last post by patliean1 on Today at 07:37:16 PM »Very fair point about the current pricing of both Winspace and Tavelo. But if they are both in fact sourced by Adapt, it's a shame we don't see more bike builds and conversations on their frames on this forum. Especially if we are to assume the quality/fit finish is nearly the same if true.
The question becomes:
1. Does Adapt not (easily) offer up B2C sales?
2. Are people generally just not interested in their frames?
If it's the latter then it's odd to use the Winspace open-mold talking point if people just aren't interested in Adapt's offerings to begin with.

« Last post by Macedingle on Today at 07:11:21 PM »The price is extremely disappointing, and I would even start to argue against the spirit of this forum. I think many people on this forum want high-quality carbon frames for less than mainstream brands and at that price point you might as well buy a specialIzed Or a giant or a Trek

« Last post by patliean1 on Today at 04:14:37 PM »@Pat, which expander did you put in yours? I am curious since you did not report slippage at that point.
Neco Headset Expander - Size/length Large.
I never ever use the provided expander plug on any budget frameset.

Component Deals & Selection / LTWOO RX and GRT compatiblity
« Last post by TribesMan on Today at 04:07:53 PM »Hi chinertowners... 
I would like to build a hardtail MTB with suspension and drop bars...
Idea is also to have dropper post.
I would like to use RX levers in combination with GRT derailleur.
The left RX lever would be used as a dropper post actuator (with some modifications to the mechanism)
Does anybody know if the derailleur pull ratio of the GRT and RX levers is the same?
And another question, what would happen if I would use MTB style (2 or 4 piston) brakes in combination with any of those levers?
Since all the mounting points for the brakes will be post mount, I would prefer to use MTB specific brakes, to avoid unnecessary flat mount to post mount adapters.
So ideal combination would be RX levers, GRT derailleur, ZRACE x2 or x4 calipers.
What do you think, is there any chance this would fit together?
