I bought a m8100 chain earlier this year, after 3 rides I checked chain wear, it was worse than 1, so they must have sent me a used chain repacked, not worth your time buying Shimano chains on Ali imo, nearly the same price in eu stores anyway

« on: November 10, 2022, 04:34:54 PM »Not necessarily. Most chinese mtb frames have come to the point where if built up competently, you can trust it won't fall apart after one hard trail ride.
Chinese forks just haven't got to that point yet. Subpar materials or craftsmanship in chinese forks means they're not ready for the abuse of real trail riding. Suntour, Xfusion, and low end Rockshox are still the best budget forks. Reliable and serviceable.
I do agree 100% with you, the fork I got cannot be compared to something like any of the rockshox or fox forks that I own, but for 130euro shipped I have a lightweight functional xc fork, will it be working in a year, nobody knows

If they would just release a wireless mtb shifter/derailleur for 100-200 they would make a killing, as it is that Chinese shifter/derailleur is actually more expensive to buy gx axs so makes no sense to buy at all.

Except he doesn't say it's garbage, Seth actually says he's quite impressed by it, it's only that like me he noticed a certain amount of degradation in performance after riding. I'll pull mine apart at around 500km just to take a good look at it.

I haven't done huge milage, only around 150km, every adjustment still works and it hasn't killed me yet, it's definitely not as plush as it was day one, that's probably down to the lack of proper wiper seals. I suppose I need more time on it to really get a grasp of how reliable it is. But even if you got 1 good season out of it you could just buy another for the price of a fork service.

« on: November 08, 2022, 03:23:04 AM »
Interesting, and I wonder if you buy the brain version of this frame with the shock does it come with the brain system? And then will it be reliable. Probably safer to just get the standard version.

What exactly is the brain shock/system? Why are there holes in the seatstay

« on: October 31, 2022, 07:27:31 AM »The biggest advantage of the M510 is its ultra-lightness and maximum instantaneous power output, which is sufficient if the driving conditions are not very aggressive.
In addition, M510 can be used with BT F25 battery 820wh, preferably both voltages are 48V, but according to Bafang engineer, 52V 17.5ah battery can also be used with M510 48V. ，But so far, our customers have not done this combination, they all use the same voltage 48V motor and battery.

Hello, does light carbon do a frame battery and motor kit?

What would that do to their pricing if it happens I wonder.

I mean a full refund including paid for return shipping is good customer service imo, obviously would have been better if it was caught in QC before being sent out.

« on: August 03, 2022, 09:46:55 AM »The Rockbros that look like the Oneup pedals have done well for me. QC in assembly isn't that great. Before install take them apart and make sure the nut is on the axle properly / regrease.
These is it?

29er / Re: ceccotti xc build
« on: August 03, 2022, 04:57:15 AM »I'm curious about the Bolany fork, I'm ready to buy any chinese parts, but forks.....
And also, regarding Meroca, what kind of brake pad did they put?
I believe the pads are organic, I'm going to buy some Shimano saint ceramic pads to replace though.
The fork is an interesting one, I don't have enough miles on it to even nearly recommend it yet but so far it's holding together. But for an xc build it does the job as it's only around 1800g. I disassembled it on arrival and there where one or two manufacturing defects but overall it was solid and simple, I lubed everything up with SRAM butter and threadlocked everything with a thread. I'll leave a review after a couple of 100km
