Component Deals & Selection / Converting rim brakes wheels to disc brakes

« on: March 19, 2024, 03:43:15 PM »

Hi all
I recently changed bike from a rim brake to a disc brake.
I'm wondering if i can transform my elitewheels PRO rim brakes 38mm deep to disc brakes?
i understand that i would need to rebuil the wheel with new hubs and new spoke , but would the rim be compatible ?
thanks a lot for your advices

Component Deals & Selection / Surly coner bar equivalent

« on: October 27, 2022, 09:33:42 AM »

Hi all
I've seen on youtube soem guys doing some nice transformation of MTD to gravel bike using Surly's coner bar.
i've been looking here and there but wasn't able to fin an affordable alternative to the expensive surly.
The only ones i found where either carbon one and thus expensive either not sold to france (only philipines via Shopee).
Any idea, any deals i may have missed?
Thanks for your inputs.

Component Deals & Selection / Chinese Bearing ...anyworth ?

« on: March 03, 2021, 12:56:13 AM »

Hi all
i recently had to overhaull my mavic rear hub and freewheel.
I found that the branded bearing were really pricy... so i had a look on our favorite "eastern" purchasing plateform and unsurprisingly found tons of bearing supplier for just a portion of the price.
I have no doubt that most of them would sell crap, but are there any chinese bearing brand that would be recommended ?
Thanks for your input

29er / LightCarbon LCM908

« on: October 24, 2018, 12:43:16 AM »

Hi guys
Did one of you tryed the lightcarbon LCM908?
Geometry looks to be "modern" (boost and head angle <70°).
Frame price is 375$ and shipping cost at 116 with XDB.
That put the overall cost to the lowest i've seen after searching the different conpanies.
The only thing, is i haven't found any feedback on the frame and almost nothing on the supplier.
did you ever purchase from them?
What was the quality like?
thanks for your input helping me to choose my new 29er frame (switching from my old 26")
