Workswell new website (and goodiess!!)
Hey, Just saw on their socials that workswell uploaded their new website. http://www.workswellbikes.com/ seems like they also got quite a few new/unknown frames. And it seems like you can check whether they can sell the frame to you based on your country (some of they're frames are monopolized by boutique brands in some countries).

Re: Puncture proof Continental Gatorskin tyres any good?
Who in their right mind would go with the gatorskin unless you know nothing about cycling? I run GP5k's and haven't had a puncture in over 2 years now, that's with riding a good 30,000km over shitty Australian roads. March 20, 2024, 07:25:58 PM |

Re: XD 12 speed cassette options
Interesting. What derailleur/shifter combo are you using? I've been riding exactly the same cassette but with Sroad branding since 2022 and both of my SLX and Deore derailleurs paired with GX shifter seems to "overshoot" on lowest gears. Whis causes chain rub on second gear and exceptionally bad downshifting from first gear. The derailleur hanger was trued and I also tried 2 new hangers with the same result. Maybe you could try a spacer/washer between the derailleur and the hanger. When I first set up my Sensah SRX pro, I could not get the derailleur to shift fine in the smallest 3 or the biggest 3 sprockets. Turned out I needed to install a 2mm washer to get it all to work OK-ish. Took me 2 frustrating days to find that out.... March 22, 2024, 10:22:26 AM |

Re: Best and worst overall quality/value components/tools/gear from AliExpress?
The "Shahe" brand tools are really good. So far I ordered below 3 and their quality at those price is unbeatable. Inclinometer - https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806182504073.html Digital Vernier caliper - https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806152639519.html Micrometer - https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832636432679.html They package goods rather well too. Each of these came in specifically made Styrofoam boxes and reasonably well written manuals. Next up, I think I will try their digital torque wrench. March 22, 2024, 11:17:30 AM |

Re: Ltwoo ERX warranty claim
Someone posted this on the forum before. Have you been through it? The battery died on me the other day and i had to reset the RD by pressing the button for a few seconds, for example. I really doubt your group is broken. From my experience, and unless you're a very experienced home mechanic, one should not underestimate their own incompetence. There were many instances where i thought something was a piece of shit when it turns out i was just being incompetent. It's been humbling. Now i generally assume that there's something i missed, then i look for it and usually find it. Sometimes there are bad designs, but even then, i often find a workaround. It's a mindset though. A friend of mine is a Luddite and if it's not specialized and shimano, for him, it's garbage. Also, he's a jealous idiot. March 25, 2024, 04:17:47 AM |

Re: Magene l508 vs garmin radars
I own both a Garmin Varia RTL510 and Magene L508 with current firmware. I bought the Varia first, had a minor issue with the micro USB cover bouncing loose on a gravel ride and it had to go back to Garmin for warranty (to replace the cover). I bought the Magene as a temporary replacement as I feel much safer riding with a radar on the rural roads around here with radar. I have had one false negative from both the Magene and the Garmin in about a thousand hours of riding. In both cases I could blame how I mounted the radar on that one bike, below a seat roll, without a full unobstructed view. False positives are common from both units and they occur when vehicles pass in the opposite direction (about 1 in 100), they are very brief. Differences The Garmin has micro USB port and will hold the signal of a vehicle that approaches you and then matches your speed for a few seconds longer than the Magene The Magene is USB C, has a spot for a lanyard and acts as a smart tail light aka brake light. You decelerate it goes brighter. I have lent the Garmin to three friends I ride with and they have all bought the Magene, after being convinced of the need of a radar and all are satisfied with the Magene. Never fully tested battery life, my max ride is usual 6 hours and I recharge my devices after that. How's the magene in group rides? Does it go crazy?No, it will pick up bicycles as vehicles and if a bike is approaching with a speed differential (best guess is 8kph or so) it will issue an alert. So it is quiet during a bunch ride. However, I do use it during races on closed circuits with the light turned off. It will give me an alert if I am riding on (or close to) the front and somebody is launching an attack from the back.
