Re: ZRace RX crankset - broken I've just noticed the 20mm extensions, wonder what effect that would have?

Re: Velobuild sent incorrect stem, ghosted me and delays shipping replacement 2 Weeks feels like a long time. But by chiner standards its not. I would wait and see if the epacket turns up any tracking info.

I am not surprised about the paint. They messed up mine too, and ghosted when I had other frame issues.

PayPal probably wont be much help at this stage.

Re: Gravel bike project Would personally go for a push fit bb to avoid bonding issues with the t47 shell.

Re: Ryet wheelset?
Care to link a few? or is it just one review from cade media?

I have these wheels specifically (RYET Gravel), mine are pretty good. I rode BWR Canada which had VERY rough mountain bike sections with these wheels, and they held up fine.

They are all over the place on AliEx reviews, these are a selection. There are lots of positive reviews too, but with this many exploded wheels who knows how many have failed past the review time limit.

Not touching Ryet.

Re: Ryet wheelset?
Google for any brand with the words "exploded rim" and you'll find some.
Personally I've seen Bontrager and Roval similarly exploded wheels, as well as some of the lightbicycle ones I helped to buy.
It happens, it is the way carbon fails. The most important is the warranty you get when this happens.
All the brand above honor it.
Looking forward to see how Ryet is reacting to that.
I get that, but the amount of bad reviews on AliX is too high percentile wise relative to the amount sold. Particularly keeping in mind that there is a time limit for leaving a review.

And in most cases the resolution mentioned is that Ryet ask for postage payment on a replacement wheel.

Its the classic case with chiner parts of QC, warranty, support etc, but I don't see the point when you can get Elitewheels etc for not much more.

Re: Best and worst overall quality/value components/tools/gear from AliExpress?
+1 for MIXED branded saddles, they are terrific. I have the 5D too. Definitely a cut above other Aliex saddles as far as finishing goes.
The rails on mine delaminated. The seller was good even after a month told me to order another and request a return through AliX then send back the old model. They also assured me that the factory had a new process for glueing rails. I havent ridden the new one since I got the Ryet 3d one instead.

Re: Best and worst overall quality/value components/tools/gear from AliExpress?
How does your Ryet 3D compare to the Mixed 5D?
I’m currently on the fence and have too many saddles laying around already.
I ordered the Mixed 7D, it was too narrow for me. The Ryet saddle definitely feels far better quality and the the base to rail bonding seems much more robust.

Re: Airwolf YFR068 - 2023 Gravel Frame
That's very unfortunate to hear, I guess you're very unlucky. Seems like not all owners run into the same issues like you did. As far on my judgement of the frame, no issues so far. Fingers crossed that I won't run into trouble and need to deal with them once after putting some milage on it. I'm building up the frame as we speak.
Keep us updated :D
