Component Deals & Selection / Flat handlebar recommendation?
« on: March 14, 2024, 03:40:23 PM »
I was looking at this one https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004077429476.html
It's very light and very cheap. I can just get a stem with a 25.4 clamp that's no problem. I've got a few other bars by tookrock / toseek and never had any problems with them.

I would also consider some all in one stem / handlebar solutions, I know they're heavier but they look cool and you don't see many people with them.

Wanted to see if you guys had any recommendations for carbon flat / riser bars, since there's a whole MTB section at the top of this forum. Maybe there's something that everyone agrees is good and light light the UNO stem?

Maintenance, Mechanics, & Tools / Bike painting?

What type of paint should I buy to touch a frame by hand with a brush?

I have a frame that I'd like to touch the paint up on. I want to colour match the original paint and I guess the best way to do that is for me to get little pots of paint and mix it up myself. It's just a very small area that I want to touch up.

I'll sand the area down a bit and then paint it up by hand with a brush doing a thin layer at a time. Preferably it will be a type of paint that I can sand a bit once dry. Will clear coat afterwards.

I could possibly get a cheap little air brush, but I really think painting by hand should be fine.

I want an exact colour match and I doubt I can find this in a can. The colour is a weird off white / cream.

Component Deals & Selection / L-Twoo, Sensah or 105?

I have never had a road bike before. I have 3 different fixed gear track bikes, with a bunch of Aliexpress carbon handlebars, stems, seatposts, 3D saddles, a fork and some lights.

I've found a good local deal on a Winspace SLC 2.0 disc version, should be in my size, I'm going to go check the frameset out next week.

I have no idea about groupsets, when I borrowed my colleagues road bike to go to the post office I stayed in the same gear the whole time because I couldn't figure out how to shift

Does anyone have any experience with them? Their price point is on the more budget friendly side compared to elite / light bicycle
I've not seen or heard of them before today.
