Re: Need help: race/aggressive gravel frame Yes this could be an option. The thread is however scaring me a bit, the frame seems to have quite some small issues (fork rubbing, saddle post not inserting) whereas the carbonda frame was spotless. I will give it a look though, thanks!

Re: Eddie's Airwolf YFR066 Build Thread I'm in the same situation as you but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. I ordered on 11.11 (yfr68 frame painted) as well so I think they just had a massive increase in orders (at least that's what I hope). Also, when ordering, Ali gave me an estimated delivery date of 30/01 so I'm not worrying too much as of now.

Re: Eddie's Airwolf YFR066 Build Thread I asked them once again, will keep you posted if I get an answer (probably after the weekend).

Re: Eddie's Airwolf YFR066 Build Thread Got an answer this morning: 'I have arranged for a logistics provider to transport the goods '. Guess that means it will be shipped soon, we'll see  ;D

- it seems like the spacing is off on the rear. There is 3-4mm more clearance on the drive side than non driveside. When L45er measured the tire clearance earlier that seemed to be the case on their bike too. Ive tried a few different wheels and they all line up the same.


I recently received my frame and it has the same problem but worse, the difference in clearance between drive and non-drive side is about 1cm. I messaged Airwolf on Ali express because 1) it just looks bad and 2) it might cause some problems when mounting 40mm tyres.

While waiting for a response I initiated a dispute because the 15 day period was coming to an end. Airwolf asked for a lot of pictures, mainly from the derailleur hanger and then stated a bike shop could fix the problem for $50. This made no sense to me as they didn't even give a solution or cause for the problem. In the meantime Ali offered a $70 refund as the solution. I did not agree and explained it would not be easy for my LBS to fix this problem (don't even know what and how he would need to fix this as Airwolf gave no explanation).

Now Airwolf has offered me to send a new frame (good!) but they are asking to close the dispute if I agree. This seems really fishy to me, do you guys have any tips or advice?

Thanks in advance!

Narrow bars, full integrated frames and electronic shifting are fantasy, but hey your money!


Narrow bars fantasy? I think it's fairly easy to understand that (when you are not a really big rider) a 38cm handlebar is gonna lower your surface area quite a bit comparing with a 44cm handlebar, and thus saving you some watts (and you might actually be able to feel the difference ;)). Next to these savings, for the majority of people, a 38-42cm handlebar will feel way more comfortable than a 44-46cm one, especially when just riding on asphalt.
